Mad Props

That's right, everybody. I have props. They are mad. Some of them are very angry indeed. Some are only a little pissy. Here they are.

First, completely enraged props to Michael Craig, who, as many of you noticed, convinced his Uncle Tilty to let me into Full Tilt Event #8, $129 NLHE KO. So that's two Full Tilt writing contests, two scores. Maybe my skillset isn't cards. If you want me, I'll be out on the street with the WILL WRITE FOR POKER sign. Mr. Craig was gracious enough to chat with me during FTOPS #1 last night, and he even wrote up this totally gratuitously nice post about my entries on the main Tilt blog (and welcome if you're here for the first time). To have a writer whom I respect saying such things about me? Let's just say I'm taking egocontin* by the handful as we speak so I won't be totally insufferable. To hold up my end of the agreement for my entry, I'll be live blogging the event, and Febrary 10-29 will be "Michael Craig 3 weeks" over here.

Second, furious and wrathful props to Mookie. A little story about Mookie. I hit him in the chatty box on Sunday, and asked him if he'd be willing to do me a huge favor and whip up a Stupid/System cover. On Monday he sent over small, medium, and large, and they were AWESOME. Mookie's the man, people.

Third, fuming livid props to the BDR crew, Astin, Jeciimd, and I Hope I'm Not Forgetting You, for railing me in my futile effort to wade through 5,200 runners in FTOPS #1 last night. Yow. At least my connection didn't go out this time. Instead I just made modest pots, played small ball, stayed alive until nearly the third break, at which point I lost a race. We weren't near the bubble, but with a double, I might have sniffed the bubble. GG me.

Fourth, slightly irritated props to Poker Peaker, who left an encouraging comment the other week and added me to his blogroll. He quickly added that this was not a quid pro quo deal and he didn't expect me to add him to mine in return.

Too bad, Peaker. I'm adding you. Also, I'm adding anybody who is linked to me. Let me know if you are and you get linked.

Fifth, there is no fifth.
