A reality show producer contacted me last week asking to check out my poker room to possibly film a future episode of Gene Simmon’s Family Jewels at. I sent out in my email that there would be a casting call and had 2 cash tables going on at the same time. I normally get one, but everyone showed up for the chance to possibly be on the show. Christina Lindly who plays actually brought a playmate friend of hers who doesn’t play, but she was hoping she’d be ask to be in the episode just for being pretty. Girls are stupid. She sure was fine though.

The producer came, loved my set up, and told me she’d like me to pick a few friends of mine to be in the episode. I posted it on my Facebook page, and Phil Hellmuth heard about the episode being filmed, and had his Publicist contact me. Sure enough the producers love the idea of him being in the episode. So come September 1st, I’ll have Gene Simmons and Phil Helmuth playing poker at my house in the valley. It’ll be a total of 6 of us playing. I’m not sure what the stakes will be, but it’ll probably be low.

In the episode, Simmons needs permission from my made up dad to cut down some trees that are on both of our properties. So we entice him to play us at a friendly game of poker, and Helmuth just happens to be there. Simmons doesn’t know how to play, but he ends up by miracle taking all our money, and I’m supposed to flip out on him. That shouldn’t be a problem at all. Anyone who knows me will think it’s completely real, because I get a bit angry sometimes when I play. But I’m working at that.The shows pretty popular, but it’s all scripted. It’ll be fun. My poker games are the best in the valley.

I had 3 full tables tonight, and get that regularly. I’ve no problem chipping up and getting to the final table with a healthy stack, but for some reason, i just donk them all off once I’m there. First hand back from the break tonight, i wake up with top pair against aces. Sucks. Then I go on to double 4 more people up. I dont win races. I made a bad fold against someone who loves to push all in, and the blinds just getting bigger just ate me away. I eventually went out with a straight against a nut flush. Not my night. Again. I need to change something once i’m at the final table. Just need to stay out of hands.

My book deal is finally going. Been over 4 years in the making. But a book about my life story is really going to be happening. I’d like to get it done so that I can have a little closure. I’d love to just get past this. It’s going to take about 6 months to get it written apparently. I’m not sure how good it’ll be. I’m always angry. I’m always waiting to just go off. Hopefully getting a little compensation for what I went through will allow me to be a little happier. I’ve got alot going for me, and I’m still bitter. If I had one wish, it wouldn’t be for millions or billions. But just to be happy with what I got. I think that’s priceless.

Gene Simmons
