You know you suck at poker. You might even be worse than me. So go out and buy DoubleAs new book.

The man rocks.

With the second pick in the NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls take...

My hope is that it's Brandon Roy. For you hockey fans out there, he pronounces it Roy. Now Wah. The Bulls need a big guard who can play now. Kirk Hinrich spends too much energy defending the other team's best guard, regardless of that opponent's size. Give him a little more rest, and I think he has great offensive numbers this season.

But regardless of who they draft, Tyson Chandler needs to put on some weight. And get a jump hook. Or learn how to hit a five foot jumper. Any offense. Please.

Dee Brown. It's gonna be painful hearing on the 10pm news that you weren't drafted. But who wants a 5'10" guard who can't play the point and has no left hand?

Special shout out to the former blogger with whom I exchanged several classless text messages. Damn hilarious, sir.

And finally, for the best World Series of Poker coverage on the InterWeb, head over to Pauly's blog and Otis' blog. . Keep the up the great work!

Bust me in the tourney, and you get one of my fab shirts:

I played in the Stars Blogger tourney on Sunday. I was one of the five players at my table to actually show up for the start. We celebrated Fathers Day at my brother in laws. Luckily he had a wireless connection that I could use while I ignored my wife's family. Ribs were being smoked on the grill, so there was plenty of time to kill.

I didn't recognize anyone at my table. It wasn't quite like the WPBT events we have, where there's endless banter among the participants. At my table were people named turley 11, dawgett, thejez, and esmephine. I haven't found their blogs anywhere - I wondered if they were hello kitty, beanie baby, or Tae-Bo blogs.

Two people I did find were ankohorahil, who placed, and sarahspades, who I now have an Internet crush on. Check her out. Seriously.

She had her face as her avatar. I asked what her blog URL was, and posed the question to the table in general.

That's when Skitch and The Commish came out of nowhere and said, "Don't tell him Sarah! He's a stalker!" and "When's your wife due again?" and "He's a pervert."

She never replied.

Thanks guys.

She not only broke my heart, but she ended my tournament, when her QJ cracked my hammer.

Time to check out her pic. Again.

I had been meaning to post this, and an email thread with the Rooster reminded me that it needed to be done.

Check out my boy's junk! That's some serious third leg action. If he keeps growing at this pace, in two years he'll be ready to have his own totally gay online diary.

Nothing to write about for now

So take a look at Jopke's post about spending a weekend with Daniel Negreanu.

Part 2 here.

Can you say, "In-flight wireless Internet access?" We're flying north of Scotland right now. I just waved to JoeSpeaker. Full Tilt and my favorite instant messenger programs have been launched. So if you happen to be online, give me a shout out. If anything interesting happens on the flight, I'll be sure to live-blog it.

Full Tilt SNG begins.... Now!

Just remembered something. During my two week workshop in Copenhagen, there was this guy who CLIPPED HIS FINGERNAILS AT THE DINNER TABLE. Yes, he was American. The Yankee Clipper. Just plain disgusting.

12:13PM - "Sir, what would you like for dinner? Fish or minced meat?" I passed on the meal. I'll stick to my cough drops...

12:26PM - Flying over Greenland. I heard that the Danish and Canadians each claim ownership of the same portion of Greenland. Canada gonna send their mounties to fight for it?

1-3 in SnG's. Four glasses of Medoc.

12:31PM - I accidentally joined a freakin' Limit HE tourney. Good lord... What a rookie move.

12:33PM - Everything's OK. It turned out to be a HORSE tourney. I guess it's time for another glass of wine.

1:49PM - Just finished that HORSE SnG. Took second. Speaking of which, I feel something brewing in me belly. The SAS Bizness Class bathroom is going to be out of commission for the rest of the flight. The plane's interior lights are off, and i'm tempted to walk around and take pics of people sleeping.

2:14PM - Why is it that turbulence only occurs while I'm washing my hands? I apparently need to stop washing my hands after dropping the deuce on a plane.

Oh, and seat 8C. Holly hottie!

We've been over Canada for about three hours, it seems.

3:27PM - I just got a drunken email from a colleague who is enjoying the World Cup in Germany right now. That bastard.

A boiling hot washcloth was just handed to me. What's proper etiquitte with these things? Hands and face only? Can I take one into the bathroom and take cleanse what's been festering in the undercarriage? Flight attendants should consider educating passengers about this during their pre-flight routine. We all know that the seat can be used as a floatation device. But what about some practical info on occasion.

Just won a big hand on a hammer bluff.

This might be the first transatlantic flight in which a passenger dropped both the hammer and a deuce.

3:58PM - Airline breakfasts usually suck. Danish food usually sucks. How about a Danish in-flight breakfast? I shoulda had the minced meat...

4:14PM - Did a little bit of dancing in the aisle to celebrate a SNG victory and prevent DVT
