It's Been a While

So, how's everyone doing? I haven't played much poker this month, so not much to talk about on that front. I've been messing around at Bodog a little, playing TheEnd79 some play chip HU just for shits and giggles.

I did play in their New player tournament once and qualified for a better than normal deposit bonus, a credit for their $10k guaranteed tournament and a subscription to Card Player, so I'll fart around there for a while. I only have $150 on the site so it looks like small buy-in games or Sit & Go's for the time being. The Sit & Go's seem pretty easy to beat . The skill level of players- as other people have said for a long time- is very different from Full Tilt. I've seen some pretty crazy play in my limited time there. I intend on clearing the bonus, profiting, and getting out, because I don't have rakeback (can anyone get me switched over?) and because of the litigation Bodog is facing right now. Has anyone read the latest blog entry from Bill Rini? Anyone believe in omens? Your thoughts about this issue?

I just got a new camera last week as a belated birthday gift. Thanks to George (check out the macro on the cicada) for giving me some info about this and taking the time to show me the ropes on macro shots. I'll be posting some pics on my flickr account very soon if you want to check them out. Still getting a feel for the camera so it may be later on next week, but this thing is awesome! I'll post a few of my 35 mm pics from vacation soon and give a link if anyone is interested.

I hope all of you are hitting your flops hard and getting those chips! I plan to be playing more in September. See you at the tables, good luck, and may the good cards hit your hand.....

Thanks, David. Yes, George has some really creative ways to get some great shots. I'm posting one of my first macros in a few minutes.
