So yesterday, I played in the Pot-limit Omaha high-low split event in the WCOOP at PokerStars.
1303 people entered, many of them the very best PLO/8 players in the world.
Somehow, I managed to play smart, get lucky a couple of times, not get unlucky a couple of times, and finish 70th.
Holy shit. I finished 70th out of 1303 players, many of them the best in the world.
If I hadn't suffered a really bad beat by a hand I had completely dominated pre-flop, I probably could have finished in the 30s.
CardPlayer.com even included my finish in its coverage of the event, which was pretty cool.
I'm skipping around just a little bit today.

I just read your rant "A Statement of Conscience". I find myself with little audience on the grandstage. I am grateful that you were able to put such eloquence to feelings that I greatly share. Even though you want to be "just this guy" and while you are, you aren't. You have a fan-base that is created from your past existence in acting and celebrity (though I don't mean that in the Paris Hilton sense) and has grown greatly from your own efforts in writing and your blog. It's wonderful when those with larger audiences are willing to speak up to get their points across to a wide readership. I realize now that to an extent it is my responsibility to motivate those that I encounter on the small scale/local level to act for changes that would put an end to this regime. Thank you for reminding me that my thoughts matter and I can attempt change things if I want to and not just move to Canada when things fail to go my way.

Very cool. I just got back from vegas last night, but I was too busy working to play any poker. Such a crime.
