Heard this afternoon on NPR:
Cultural Differences Seen in Male Perceptions of Body Image
All Things Considered, March 15, 2005 Preliminary results of a study from the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital finds that Taiwanese men are not as dissatisfied with their bodies as Western men. Sean Cole explores the permutations of body image perception among men.
Poor BadBlood. He’s gunorexic!
Compulsion makes the greatest pleasure a chore.
I was already down a buy-in at the 1/2 $100 NL table when Grubby showed up after hour 4; two mistakes and a mistake/beat in raised pots will do that to you. I’d lost most of my chips by bluffing a passive calling station with Ajax (he flopped a pair with A9o) and then overplaying queens against the same guy after a king hit the flop (he had K7o).
I lost the rest of that first buy-in when I made a mistake by limping with Big Slick in MP. When it was raised behind me with two callers, I re-raised all-in. Everyone called. A king hit the flop and the second limper went all in. Surprisingly, he got called in both places. A little more action between the two remaining players created side pot #2, which was won by a pair of queens (limper #1 had QT). Side pot #1 and the main pot went to limper #2 who held A7s and made his flush on the river.
“Chips!”
Suck.
As President and CEO of Poker Source Online I get to inform you about new and exciting things happening at PSO. Unfortunately, I’m also the one who has to deliver bad news when it comes up…
I received a phone call from Poker Now today telling me that they are canceling the rake back program for all their affiliates effective immediately. This is very disappointing news for all of us at Poker Source Online and I know for our customers too. Since we started the Poker Now rake back program just a few weeks ago, we have signed up hundreds and hundreds of players and generated close to six figures in rake for Poker Now. This translated into a sudden windfall of rewards and incentives for our customers.
To make matters worse, Poker Now is not able to pay most of their affiliates because Party Poker is withholding their payment. Nonetheless, I want all of you to be assured that you will be credited for all play in February and through March 11th. Your PokerNow points have been credited for February and we are NOT taking them back. You will also be credited some time in April for your March 1st – March 11th Poker Now Play. However, we anticipate this being delayed a bit due to the situation at hand. Poker Source Online always stands behind our promotions so there is nothing to worry about when it comes to getting all the credit you deserve while the program was active. However, the Poker Now rake rebate program is canceled effective 11:59pm PST on March 11, 2005.
Finally, I would like to thank all of you for your continue loyalty and support of Poker Source Online. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to post here or send me a personal email.

Now I’ve lost all reason to play at PokerNow. Whatever. I’m still tied up at FullTilt with that insane signup bonus until the next Party skin reload bonus comes along.
