So, here's what's up in the poker world for me:

1.) Playing in the All-in Free Poker season-ending tournament Sunday, which I earned because I play enough at their venues (I also try to hit the other bar poker businesses, too). Tried to tune up Thursday, but went two tourneys without a hand higher than a pair of Kings. What to do...?

2.) Dania is having the Dan LeBetard Tournament Wednesday, and I'm going in with a bounty on my head. (Is that a roll of paper towels.) Because I have a bounty, do I play tighter or looser?

3.) World Series of Poker heating up. This is the good stuff. Looks like the final table will break on Monday and lots of locals left. Anybody have any favorites still alive out there?

4.) And a one-day early Happy Birthday to George Temel, the patron of our home poker game and the impetus for my lifelong question: Is it better to be good at sales and bad at math (George) or good at math and bad at sales (me?)
