Do you have your fishing licenses? You never know what your going to caught.

On my lunch hour today, I thought I would enjoy some small stack limit poker. Playing on PokerStars, $0.05/$0.10. A few hands in I have pocket sixes and this is how it plays out.

I did call two bets pre-flop that I shoulnd't have but figured if I hit trips on the flop I'll make some money. I do end up folding after the flop but shocked at what everyone else had and was raising and calling with that I had to share with you all.

I ended the 45 minute session up $2.62, laugh.

There are still fish out there people, get your hooks out and go fishing today.

So the last 24 hours have been interesting; first Farrah Fawcett - the bomb shell, then Michael Jackson - king of pop, and then Jeffrey Lisandro - the king of this years World Series.

Farrah Fawcett's story is sad, reality usually is. She was loved by both men and women. Men wanted to date her, make passionate love to her. Women wanted to be her, they wanted that long blond hair.

Michael Jackson's story is sad also, but in a totally different way. There are probably a lot of young boys thankful of yesterday's news. There will never be another Michael Jackson for my generation. My mom had Elvis and I can still remember the day he passed and she cried like a baby in front of the TV for days. I did not do the same thing yesterday though. I did watch the news because I was shocked. At 50 it's sad. My uncle's partner died two years ago from cardiac arrest, dead at a very young age.

Jeffrey Lisandro's story is happy, exciting and history is still being made. When the WSOP started Jeffrey wasn't even in the running for Player of the Year in points. Today he is in first place 355 point which is 80 ahead of Ville Wahlbeck.

So far this series he has cashed in 6 events and has won 3 bracelets and over $800,000 in prize money and there is still plenty of play in the WSOP this year. Can he win the Main Event?

From the blogs and twitter updates, it appears Jeffrey is just getting sick cards, and running incredibly well.

Until next time, PEACE!

Event #6

We are 1/3 of the way completed with the 2010 WSOP home league. Last night was event #6, I finished in a disappointing 4th place finish. I pushed all my chips with pocket 4's with a 2 - 3 - 8 board and chip leader had an 8 in his hand, turn and river did not help me.

Last nights game was a little weird, before the ante's even kicked in, we had lost 4 players, which is extremely odd. I noticed early on that 3 or so players had only about 1/2 their chips in front of them but I never really noticed anyone bluffing or calling off their chips.

I can't continue to post to much information about the tournament each month as the league members are reading (and you know who you are) and I can't give any additional information out; about me or them :)

Future poker events...my brother-in-law is going to Tunica July 2nd, I might go with him for the night. My best friend from Michigan will be in Tunica July 11th, so I might go meet him there. I found a good home game I need to try out soon. I'll be playing soon I'm sure, so stay tuned for all the details.

SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!
