Mellow Gold
Good grief. It's Monday and I just found myself easing into the workweek by catching up on a few reads while whistling an easy listening favorite from the Carpenters.
Therapy. Years of it.
I hope you had a good weekend. I can think of a few people that did. Congratulations to Iggy and LJ for satelliting into the Main Freaking Event and to F-Train for cashing in Razz.
As for myself, I didn't play a hand after final tabling the Riverchasers* on Thursday. There just aren't enough hours in the weekend. I did get in a couple rounds at the golf course, did the family thing for Father's Day and watched some of the most exciting TV golf in years. I know it's selfish, but I really liked having the U.S. Open on the west coast and the broadcast in prime time - made it easier to get a bunch of stuff done without missing the coverage (since I don't have tivo).
(* not exactly as impressive as it sounds - there were only 11 runners. I also spent so much time disconnecting and reconnecting that I'm sure my table played half as many hands as the other table. My apologies.)
Back to poker.
It was pretty cool to see that Barry Greenstein won a bracelet in Razz. I'm not much of a poker fanboi, but Barry's very much one of my favorites.
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but it seems to me that this year more bracelets are being won by name pros - both live and internet pros - and fewer by random joes (and janes). Will this be the year that someone we all know takes down the main event?
See you at the tables.
