Especially in the face of a certain Texas-based blogger who mind-bogglingly claims that Austin > LA, when, in fact, it is vastly inferior. Allow me to trot out the evidence:
1. WPBT: Bill Rini represents the LA contingent at the final table on March 30, 2005. Austin is sadly absent.
2. Must-read blogs: The Cards Speak, The Obituarium, Chicks Dig Poker Geeks, Bill’s Blog
3. Local casinos: At least five casinos are situated within half an hour of one another with 24-hour poker action and anything you want to play from 1/2 to games where one small bet costs more than both my cars combined.
So it’s probably time to take advantage of these warm, breezy, 60-degree evenings and get together with some of these must-read bloggers (including a WPBT final-tablist) at one of these local casinos to play some cards.
Am I bragging? You bet.
Some things that Austin has that LA doesn’t though:
1) 6th Street!
2) $250,000 houses brand new 15 minutes from downtown.
Um, damn, I guess that’s all I’ve got. Still the point stands. LA > Austin.
There are new houses IN Austin?? Where? Don’t hold out on me Mike!
Ah yes, 6th Street…you can’t top us there. I’ll think of y’all tomorrow when I’m enjoying all it has to offer. That is, for as long as I’m capable of remembering other people, my name, etc.
You boys have fun. Don’t eat all the fishes!
thanks for the hold’em book. i’ve been reading it during my free time *which isn’t much* and it is useful. i’m a little confused about the whole pot odds section, but i’m sure i’ll figure it out when i can get the chance to practice. i played a little hold’em poker on my cell phone and i won like $50,000! cool huh?
Umm.. I hate Texas, but LA, cmon, Smog, Earthquake, Mudslide, Fire, choose your death! Paaaaleeease. I think you both suck. In 2 years when the big one hits there will be no LA Bloggers.. thats if you dont get mugged first.
Excuse me? You’re a fucking Yankee. Hush.
Ah, nothing like a little regional warfare on a Monday morning.
Until further proof arrives, Glyph’s hypothesis remains correct.
We rule. 🙂
SC vs. MN
Austin vs. LA
All we need is Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. HHH and we’ve got a royal rumble for WPBT in Vegas 🙂
Just wanted to throw my blog out there too. I’m an LA blogger as well who happens to run some of the tourneys at HP.
I -used- to be an LA blogger, and I hope to be one again inside of two years. Does that count for anything?
