cada's done it...

Well done to Joe Cada, I can only imagine what that sense of euphoria must feel like... oh I can't wait for next year! Meanwhile, I'll definitely be playing the Paradise Poker £550 at the Empire Dec 12th, 10K chips and 1hr blinds - beautiful. Should get a bunch of runners as it's £100K guaranteed so looking forward to that...

And in case you hadn't heard but feel like I should mention, Dwan has finally signed with Full Tilt. I'd love to see those contract terms but I can imagine, for someone who has held out so long, it's extremely favourable to Tom. The rich get richer...

I watched Julie & Julia (3*) last night which was ok...although a bit slow in places. It's about an ordinary girl who starts blogging about cooking. It's based on a true story as the blog eventually turned into a book, and then this movie. Now I'm not after fame or anything (I'll save that to when I win the World Series) but it got me thinking about how I could develop this blog into something more. The first thing that popped into my head was to interview some players/bloggers I know as I'm sure a bunch of you would find it interesting (maybe?). Also, I think it'd be pretty fun to fire some questions to the regulars at the Empire as well as a few of the pros I know.

Just an idea... I'm going to mull it over...

Interviews would be a good addition mate.

Dwans become Team Full Tilt hasn't he, doesn't that mean he's on a % of the site??? What a sell out eh lol ;o)

not sure about that...I mean, deal obviously is top secret! My guess is that he gets a huge monthly wage to play on the site, TV bonuses and huge rakeback. He could of course have a %, that would be pretty sick. He's been holding out for ages so maybe that's what's finally persuaded him to sign up. They say 1% earns you around $100K a month....must be nice....

you coulda had the blog post title of...

''It Cada been me...''

lol

Saw a hand with you versus Ivey on the WSOP coverage...

board is 6 6 5 5 J or similar... Ivey puts in a small bet on the river... You slowly call, waiting till you hear the camera lens focusing behind you... and then lay your chips out there... He rolls over a J, and you lick your wounds... Beautiful...
