The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic. As I said earlier, I had a bunch of real life stuff to do, especially the CLE classes ("I'd like to keep my law license, please." "Why?" "...it sounds cool?") and decided to just take a break and enjoy myself while those were going on. These classes happened to be in a building with no available wireless network, so for the last two days, I managed to come home to more market imploding than I thought was possible in one news cycle. Opeth was a fantastic show (brag: my wife got me tickets for my birthday, went with me and enjoyed it) but when we made it back at 1 AM, I'd gone without any Internet access for over a day.

"What do you mean Vivek FT'd the Borgata? Wait, he WON?!!?! wheeeeeee"

Vivek is, without a doubt, a live poker beast. He live timebanks every major decision, somehow never gets any of them wrong (or gets there if he does), 5 bets light successfully and just plays stunningly good poker. It's not that he's bad at the Internet thing, either; he just takes his game to another level when he's at the tables. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person (except Watts obv), and maybe this'll teach him to be less of a life fish too :) Congrats.


...and then I go to pocketfives to check out the pictures and find out Shaun won a random $144K for first WCOOP to go with the FTOPS. Nice day for tworags imo.

Minor stuff about me since I can't really compete with the big stuff: I've got a pocketfives article on Internet security coming out sometime in the next 2 weeks and might be writing there more regularly in the future. Also, Intrade is going really well - I'll have some kind of really big writeup on political betting in general after the general election is over.
