No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn

Well, this is more than just a little ridiculous. I don't even know what day it is. I have gone from one game to the next for the last 5 days or so. Thankfully, I caught 40 winks this afternoon...along with a cold. Yesterday's benefit at the Four Seasons was a ton of fun. It was great to see so many of you there! There is another on Friday open to the public, & it's for a great cause, so make sure to attend. I placed 4th in the tourney last night...congrats Fraser! Game to get to...

This is one of my favorite video segments... not only do we get
the pleasure of the infamous Helmuth fury, but Negreanu sings
a few bars too! Sorry to disappoint, but contrary to the photo,
there are no chimps in this video (or are there?)

Prahlad Friedman has balls of steel, if nothing else!
Got something to post? Send it in! You might even win
yourself one of our fancy new t-shirts! Up the Ante, jj.

How Could I Forget Football?

I forgot to link to the Negreanu Grey Cup episode! Daniel is on my list of top 5 favorite men in the world, & I love that he 'bet' Green! (well, at least he got the spread right!) Check out the December 11th video diary at http://www.rawvegas.tv/rawreality/negreanu/ and you Saskatchewanites will love him more than ever! I took about 3,000 pictures in 40+ locations on the evening of our victory...the link will appear here soon! (Sorry if I bust you for calling in sick!)

3 Month Tour & WSOP Satellite

There are still a few seats open for the first private "satellite" on February 16th. Buy-in is $1100, & first place pays $11,000, with the condition that the winner represent the team at the WSOP in June/July. (No gambling with plane fare, you geniuses!) There will be 2 more 10 man tables, tentatively scheduled for April 19th, & May 17th. On another note, there are some games scheduled for Houston, Dallas, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, & Regina, with a few stops in between over the next 3 months...leave a comment, or email for details. Paulie, we're hoping you might come up & deal...maybe even play! I don't have your email address, so do try to track me down! Make sure to invite all those crazy Montana kids!

Poker in Korea

Good luck to Denny (AKA dad!) in the Pro Tournament in Korea!
We'll be waiting for the results! Congrats on the last tournament!

Poker Hell

Last night's cash game at my place game was just plain nasty. Kelly, Ana, Troy, Jack, Lee, Hartland, & Francis were in attendance. It was a great group, but I couldn't play my way out of a paper bag. I'll be hosting a $200 Tourney this Sunday at 8pm. There will be a $50 precursor. Call to RSVP. Congrats to Jack & Beryl on their 50th wedding anniversary this weekend, & good luck to Billy Bones at NAMM in LA! I "retired" (a fancy euphemism for quitting) a few weeks back so I have a lot of free time to play poker these days.
Up the ante, jj.
