Bizarro Poker

Thats the only way i can describe what I've witnessed on the tables over the past couple days. I did play on Sunday but only cashed in the Turbo Take down for $35.00, finishing around 9000th out of 30,000 registered. I played ok, but i have to admit that i was a bit distracted by mafia wars.

Wow, is that game addictive or what! I log on to play for a short period and end up easily spending hours playing. I'm currently at level 27 and have 155 mafioso in my family after 4 days of play. I'm adding about 4 levels and 20 mafioso per day. Anyway enough about that, if you're interested search Mafia Wars on Facebook, Myspace or Tagged.

Below is three of the most idiotic hands i've seen in a long time. They're so bad its unbelievable. But i guess i shouldnt be surprised since they're from $10 and lower buy-in tournaments;



that,thats all folks!

I'm a criminal?!

We have really weird and unfair gambling laws in this country. Gambling is only legal for tourists in liscensed casinos. But locals cannot enter these casinos and cannot legally gamble anywhere in the country. So basically, every time i log onto pokerstars or ftp i'm commiting a crime. And everytime i withdraw money and deposit it to my account, i'm engaging in money laundering. Crazy!

But recent incidents and public sentiment has me believing that gambling will be legalized with the next couple years. The arguments against it are wearing very thin so i'm optimistic.

In the mean time i'm still playing the occasionaly tournaments. This week has been rather unsuccessful with me busting out of everything.I've registered to participate in the "May takedown" on Stars. But i may have to unregister because i have a football game tomorrow at 5:30. will see how it goes, its kinda rainy so i may not go.
