More this and that

Hey rounders,

Coupla things to mention today. Our podcast was sent to iTunes yesterday just fine, but our feed on the web site wasn't updated until like 2:45 today. I could give you a laundry list of reasons why this happened but it doesn't make us go back in time and fix the problem, so let's just leave it at that.

But, speaking of our web site and the podcast. Remember when we were having trouble with iTunes and trying to get our show up on its site? Well, back then, to "fool" Apple, we had to create a new feed that Apple could approve, and in doing that we created two feeds. Well, for housekeeping purposes and the sake of uniformity, we are going to be doing away with the original feed very soon. If you are getting our feed from a site other than iTunes, you run the very real risk of not being able to get our show because we are not sure how many sites have picked us up and whether or not they use the old feed or the new one. Also the feed that's on the blog is the old one and will be updated very soon to the iTunes feed. I don't pretend to know what all of this means, but I do know you'll need to have the newest feed or you won't get our show. I'll post again when the actual move happens, but I just thought I'd warn you.

One other thing: I held the Ladies Night Poker Instruction/Tournament at my wife's club yesterday and I think it went very well. The spectrum of players there reached as far as people who have actually played the game for money to people who didn't even know what two pair was, so it was a challenge to keep everyone focused while still teaching. The women really enjoyed themselves and are already asking my wife when they can do it again. I've told her to tell them that I'd be glad to go to their homes and teach them for a fee, so we'll see if that pans out.

Haven't played much online, just a few hands here and there. Nothing to brag about and nothing to complain about so I'll just leave it at that.

The Andy Bloch show was VERY informative and really gave us a peak inside the WPT debacle as well as some other things. Andy was very gracious with his time and he really took apart the hand of the week so I hope Dan appreciates that. I wonder what Andy would charge for lessons? LOL!

OK, more later.

Just caught the show this afternoon, great job. Were you able to get Andy to record a promo for the show?

We actually didn't ask him, but that's just because we forgot. We were kicking ourselves today over that, but it's no biggie. We plan on having plenty of guests on, and we won't forget then. Glad you liked the show. By the way, I came back to the table after I picked up my son and had a nice little rally at the $1-2 razz table. My record is still intact.

Ugh, for some reason I can't download the show. Everytime I open iTunes it says it's downloading episode 41 but when it's done it's not anywhere on my harddrive.

No comment on the return of the tourneys at Derby Lane? Would you guys find out what the real, real story was behind all this.As for me, I played in my first tourney and picked up right where I left off in December, before the tourneys were shut down.I make a very loose raise with 8-6 off, then call a re-raise for no other reason than the player re-raising was very new to Derby and did not know me and my loose play. Flop comes 8-8-4, so you can imagine what happens when she bets her pocket KK. Completely lucky you say? Sure, but I cracked aces twice with weaker hands, also, once from a guy who bet only one hand. Ah, the magic of Derby Lane.

Hey Pete,The Times should be looking into the Derby Lane tournaments today. And glad to see you're still on top of your game.

Chris, I'm glad you were able to exact some cash from that Razz table. I don't know if you noticed but I was seated at two tables, and the second time you came in it was on a different table than the first time. The second table was much looser.I had to pry myself away from that table, I needed some rest.

[Christopher Cosenza]

I actually thought that was the case because your cash was a lot less than the last table, but the players were pretty much all the same. I split off earlier and played that SQUINTS guy and won some cash from him, but then I made the big score later when I made a 6-5 and a 6-4 in consecutive hands for to pretty big pots. That gave me like a $10 profit for the night and it was getting late so I was satisfied. I'll be back! BTW: Scott and I are going to talk about your Razz tournament on next week's show to drum up support. He won't be able to play but I should be there.
