Erick Lindgren just won a million bucks in what was essentially a two-table SnG. Of course, there were some names you might recognize at the tables. Fellas like Negreanu, Hansen, Juanda, Ivey, all of whom ponied up $100K for the pleasure.
I’m on Bankroll Envy Tilt.
This unique tourney took place at the Aussie Millions, where my blogging mentor and hero Dr. Pauly is covering the action for, among other outlets, Poker News. Make sure you keep track of all the action from the hardest working man in the Poker Bidness.
And if you happen to be reading this within 5 square miles of the Crown Casino, go buy the man an adult beverage.

I am fired up for a weekend of NFL Playoff action, capped off Sunday night by the return of Jack Bauer.
PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN!
I don’t watch a whole lot of TV, but since its inception ’24′ has been one I’ve never missed. Sure, the novelty has worn off by this point, but no actor embodies his character more than Kiefer. He’s such a focal point that it doesn’t even matter the show has lost a number of memorable characters along the way, like President Palmer, Hot Kim (the daughter) and his equally single-minded partner, Tony. You can almost forget they were even there at all, as evidenced by a live interview the other night during a Laker game, where play-by-play guy Joel Meyers asked actor Carlos Bernard (who played Tony) if he was looking forward to his 6th season on ’24.’
“Well, as you know Joel, Tony was killed in Season 5,” Bernard deadpanned, before expertly segueing to his new show.
Four hours over two nights. Words fail me.
I also just finished engorging myself on three seasons of “The Wire” on DVD. Tough to do this one justice in print, too. So complex. So many conflicting loyalties and multi-layered relationships. Just a fantastic show in so many respects.
A perfect microcosm of the entire canon was in the penultimate episode of Season 3. Two actors at the height of their powers, the African-American version of DeNiro and Pacino in “Heat.” It was riviting. Kudos to Alonzo Mourning and the dude with the freakishly long fingers for their awesome performance.
The problem is I’m now out of DVDs to watch to fill in those blank spaces in time after AJ goes to bed or I get dumped out of an MTT in the first hour.
I traveled ‘Packerland’ during some really bad Bear seasons. If you are a fan of one or the other it is very personal. You don’t even have to be one of the truly serious breed. For a packer fan given a year to live — the choice between a cure and season tickets to Lambeau — loves his final year.
When Grossman couldn’t get himself ready for GB, he lost my vote. He’s gone from the three-year freshman with issues to space cadet.
Wrong!
I thin the Seahawks win over the Bears 24-13. And if you are not playing the Seahawks +8.5 moneyline, you are missing out. It’s not a bet, it’s an <b>investment</b>.
Thanks for playing.
I’ve had a man-crush on Keifer ever since Flatliners.
If Keifer Sutherland was a cat, and I bought him, I would love him unconditionally. Even if he had only 3 legs, or something.
i’ve heard great things about Battlestar Galatica. It’s on my Netflix list.
By the way, gimmie a chance. Put me on the ole blogroll. Suggestions are welcome.
Yeah, where’s my link?
This is complete and total bullshit.
Too late now, bro. I don’t want your fuckin’ linkage.
You lose your Daddy card, there ain’t no gettin’ it back either.
No getting it back? What if I told you I just baked you a bacon cobbler smothered in country gravy? Does that sound like something you’d be interested in?
