Is cigar aficianado the 21st century equivalent in impact as playboy was?
Seriously. Take a look at this magazine and replace nude with cigar, and see what I see.
Add an additional social commentary column about poker and it's a slam dunk.

Cashed in $42k
Finally got back to MTT play today and cashed in the $42k. Interesting and not so unusual is that at one key point in hour 2, I came from behind to double up.
Its those type of hands that can propel you to ill gotten gains!
Its a small retribution for the suckouts laid on me... right?

Imaginary Hand
Lets say you are at a relatively typical 1-2 or 2-5 table and the UTG makes it 3x and the UTG+1 makes it 9x BB. Folds around to you on the button with JJ.
Easy fold? (I think so)

Good to Great
Here it is for the millionth time. A perfect example of what is keeping my from being an elite player.
3 table MTT (league night). I have played well all night, making only 1 poor decision. Folded when I should have called, so a minor mistake. There are 4 left and the blinds are 1500/3000/100 and I have 6ok, tied for second in chips.
LOTS of raise, all fold action, so I make a comment about flops and limp with JT. The blinds both call.
Flop is 886 and all players check. The turn is a TEN. check, small bet, and I look at the player on my right with only $33k behind. The pot is $10k. I bet $33k, to put the player on my right (BB) all in. I do this as a signal to the SB that this hand is ending here and I am going to knock the BB out.
But the SB ruins my plans and CALLS $33k. Now I have $30k behind and a blank falls on the river. But I am stuck. He smiles and says all in. He obviously has an 8 and I call anyways because the pot is big and I have 60% of my chips in there.
I could not have played this hand worse. The $30k bet is amateurish, and the crying call when I had 15BB left was atrocious.
Still, we try and learn and soldier on.

Felted in RUSH
Totally pwnd by KQ vs AJ on flop of JTx when turn brings a 9 and *I* volunteer my stack. Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son.
Hope I am not so stupid later this evening.
