No LOST post today, for the same reason that there have been no posts for a week. I was on the road all this time and haven't yet seen the show. I will of course be watching it tonight, so you should be getting my rambling dollop of analysis by Monday at the latest.
A few predictions about this weeks episode, sight unseen:
* Sun and Jin will switch bodies, like Freaky Friday, only with subtitles.
* Jack will do something foolish.
* Locke will do something foolish.
* Over/under on Hurley saying "dude" is set at three.
* Back on the boat, Sayid and Desmond will discover that The Captain is none other than this guy right here.
* Somebody will be a bad father.
* The Losties will discover the existance of the Secondhand Smoke Monster, who is even more dangerous than the Smoke Monster, and kills the people directly next to the person it attacks.
Meanwhile, are you all loving BBT3 like I'm loving it? I bet you are. Here's my experience thus far: Four played (Big Game, MATH, Skills, and Mookie), two final tables (Big Game and Mookie), and I'm pretty much freerolling at this point, so now mein sprockets I am as happy as a little girl. Touch my monkey. TOUCH IT!
I went out of the Big Game playing my A Game, which sadly was not superior to Scott Ficshman's Z-Game. Here's my take on the Fiscman saga: I think it was friggin' awesome. A genuine WSOP bracelet wearing pro sat down at a blogger tournament. So what if he was screwing around? So what if he took it down? My God, he was practically begging us to take his chips. He couldn't help it that he was hitting the board like Bonds hits baseballs and shoplifting on the river like Spitzer shoplifts the pooty.
I went out of the MATH in entirely uninteresting fashion. Lose lose win lose lose win lose crap I'm a shortstack push lose coinflip dang.
I went out of the Skillz like Willy Lump Lump. Simple reason, really. I don't know how to play PLO. I pushed my nut flush draw / inside straight flush draw all the way against a made flush. I also had pocket Aces, but I don't really count those for much in PLO. Either way, I went out the second or third hand playing pushdonkey poker.
I'm available as a poker tutor, by the way. Ask for my hourly rates.
I played a fine game of cards in the Mookie until the final table, where I went out in consecutive hands calling with KJ and AT. With the blinds in the stratosphere and the M's way low I figured there was a good shot I was ahead, but I was behind (though still very live) both times, and seriously those are not hands to go out calling with. Good pushing hands, bad calling hands. I deserved to go out in eighth for forgetting the play that got me that far.
Mondo posts coming soon. Got a Stupid/System and of course a LOST in the works, and a few more idiotic ideas.

Holy shit, it's like you've already seen the show from last night! All of those things happen exactly like you said! Amazing.
You really must not know PLO. I don't think its possible to be betting a flush draw/inside straight draw against a player with a made flush, since each player has to play two cards (no more, no less) from their 4. If he/she has a made flush, then that means three flush cards on the board and two in his/her hand. That also means that at the turn, there is only one non-flush card. So, either you had the same suited flush and made it, or you only had three at most to the flush. Time to go hit dem books.
BTW, I was shocked to find out that Count Chocula was the 1st mate. That Lost is so kooky!
Jordan,
I have absolutely no idea what I am doing in PLO.
None.
My buy-in was 100% donation.
Hopefully this post has made that perfectly clear.
