I feel strange if a day or two goes by and I don’t play poker. I feel guilty if a few days go by and I don’t post about poker. I feel like a godless babykiller when I write a shitty post like this one. More later.

My name is glyphic, and I’m a degenerate gambler.
Just got back from Commerce. It’s 5AM and thus way too late to write up a report right now, but I thought I’d share the funniest thing Felicia said all day:
“You’re much funnier in person than you are on your blog.”
—Felicia Lee to Bill Rini
God bless Felicia Lee. Send her some mojo for tomorrow’s (today’s) satellites.
Today’s Forecast
Great.
I don’t mind driving in the rain, but rain in Los Angeles always causes clusterfucks like this:
Big red diamond #1:
5-6 Vehicle Traffic Collision Blocking Car Pool, #1, 2 Lanes
1 Vehicle is Blocking East Rosecrans On Ramp to North 405 Per 79-60
Roll Ambulance Required
Big red diamond #2:
Solo Vehicle Traffic Collision into Right Shoulder Wall-Red Sedan
Driver of Vehicle on Ll * is in a Red Ford Escort, Struck Right Shoulder Wall, Advsed Accident (Property Damage) Only She is not Hurt
Hope this clears before I head home.
LA Poker Classic Quickie
PokerProf just let me know that the dinner break on Saturday will be at 7PM, so that’s probably when we’ll all be able to get together, tournament players and cash players alike. Apparently there’s a “lovely Vegas-style” buffet and a regular coffee shop type deal, so those will be two of the options. There’s also a sports bar where we’ll likely find Al before and after the tourney. Come get some.
Poker Roundup
Not too much to report on this end… I haven’t played much online poker due to the birthday night festivities and the weekly home game, though I did sneak in a quick session at Empire for triple my buy-in. It was life-affirming. Well, maybe not that, but it felt pretty good at any rate.
The LA Poker Classic gathering is slowly growing in size, with Al Can’t Hang, Grubbette, PokerProf, Jeff, and Joe making it out to the Commerce Casino this weekend (and beyond?) for all the fun and games. There’s a rumor that Grubby himself will also make an appearance. I’ve promised myself to kick his ass for all the money I’ve lost playing the hammer, though now that I’ve gone through PokerTracker and filtered it for times I played it voluntarily, it appears that I’ve made 6 cents a hand. I guess I owe Grubs a stick of Bazooka Joe.
For those of you who can’t make it out to LA, or don’t like the idea of meeting a bunch of random people at a casino, sign up for the next blogger tourney, set for this coming Wednesday:
Feb 2nd, 9pm EST
PokerStars
$20 buyin, NL tournament
Password: thehammer
Listed under the Private Tournaments tab.
Open to bloggers and readers.
Finally, go get yourself a piece of Al (free shipping!) and wish him luck in this weekend’s tourneys.
