Shooting For D-List Status
[Edit: I'm going all ambitious ... D List or bust!]
You know what gets a workday morning off to a good start? How about The Rooster calling people out:
BTW, if you stop over there, be sure to scroll down a bit and check out the Rooster T-shirt. Brilliant.
Also helping to get the day off to a good start was this email. This outfit is based in India, so I've added some things that must have been lost in translation:
Hey, it's not my fault that no attractive female celebrities have been imprisoned this week, is it?
Speaking of tournaments ... hey, who won the Mookie last night? I better go check.
Riverchasers tonight, 9 pm ET. I have no idea what the game is this week, or whether I'll be around. See you on the tables one of these days.

Look B-Listers...I don't mind that you want me to blogroll you on my site. I understand. But the truth of the matter is that it takes time to get on the list.Speaking of calling, I'm calling my shot: At the 2008 Winter Classic, I will finish within 40 spots of the money. Okay, maybe 50. Sixty, tops. Once an F-minus lister, always an F-minus lister.
Look at people like RES IPSA POKER that has never asked me for a link and he's not. But look...I've been reading his stuff for a while and the truth of the matter is that when I play with him in tournaments he never gets any traction to get going. He's a hell of a player but what is up with his live tournament showings? We need to talk about this before he's listed. Sure he will kill me in no-limit and online...but live is where the money is at and legends are made...Holla!

Hi,That email was helpful in realizing how bad the problem is - all games have been played since January 1, average game length of 20-25 minutes or so ... yikes. Then again, I already kinda knew, since I kept wandering in and out of a dream this morning (between whacks of the snooze button) revolving around my inability to find an eight letter bingo off an open R. Oy.

The next installment of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) starts on February 6. The schedule is up and there are 20 different events to choose from. I'd kind of like to try and satellite into one - I just am not willing to commit a major chunk of my puny bankroll to buy in direct - but I'm having a hard time deciding which. The events that would seem to be the best fit for my "game" don't really work - the $240+16 PLO knockout event starts at 2 pm on a weekday. The first weekend PLO event is 6 max with a big buyin. The HA tournament - which I'd love to play - starts at 2 pm on a weekday which I already know is going to be brutal. The weeknight tournaments start at 9 pm. Ugh. Ugh Ugh Ugh.
I think my best options are:
1. $500+35 PLO 6 max - this will be the toughest to get into, since it has the largest buyin.
2. $120+9 NLHE 6 max knockout - I'm not a fan of 6 max, but it's the lowest buyin game and it's on a weekend during the day, so it's doable.
3. $200+16 Limit O/8. I must be on crack, thinking about playing a limit hi/lo tournament that starts at 9 pm. This event could take 20 hours.
4. $500+35 HORSE. And even worse, a HORSE tournament that starts at 9pm. With a big buyin.
I might have to try super satelliting into satellites for the $500 events to keep the cost down. Ah, the life of the empty-pocketed degenerate. Time to sharpen up the tournament game.
