oh yah....some poker content.

Full Tilt Poker now has Razz on the site - regular Razz ringgames - Howard Lederer has put his table there instead of stud h/l -

It's interesting - Razz has picked up as a result of the WSOP game on TV this year. - I think it appeals to the loser in us...like pocket A's tuesday promotions at Canterbury (if you lose with AA, you get 75 bucks) - we're so used to being disappointed, that we're attracted to games that let us profit from those disappointments - heh heh.

I never understood why pokersites didn't offer every possible game - there's no cost except basic programming - some rare games would bring people to the site to fill the coffers - it doesn't kill anyone to have the extra tab. - Planet Poker used to do this, but I think their new site is a lot more focused on the big 5 - (Holdem, Stud, Stud H/L, Omaha, Omaha H/Lo)

speaking of new games - I had an idea today where they could do this game where the best hand always won - if you have a pair of 5's vs AK, you're an 11.5 - 10 fav. and you win - it would make pairs premium and high cards a bit less valuable - then I realized I basically was describing two card poker holdem without the flop-river, and then it didn't seem so impressive.

we pause in this thought to go to this special moment....Nelly and Tim Mcgraw doing a video together....holy fuck....this is disgraceful - GRHAHAHAHAH - biggest descration since Third Eye Blind tried covering a Who song. - this is almost as bad as Shania Twain releasing two videos fer her new song - one a country version with a country singer, one a pop version with Mark Mcgrath. - I wish musicians were starving like painters and poets more....fuck.

ok....I feel better now...but still....fuck
