Lytspeed's Creativity Journal

It's that time of year again. I'm registering for the WBCoOP, assuming the Powers That Be approve this entry. I entered 2007 and 2005, as well, but didn't do so well either time. This year has been better for me in the world of play money tournaments; the highlight was one of the giant freerolls that PokerStars hosts, the Hubble No-Limit Tournament. Out of 12,000 people I took 5th place. Yow! Here's a paste from the results e-mail (emphasis mine.)

PokerStars Tournament #95460789, No Limit Hold'em

I'm hopeful that the incoming Democratic presidential administration and Congress will repeal or at least revise the stupid law (link goes to PDF file) hindering online poker that were passed in October of 2006. I hear that Obama is a pretty good poker player himself. Here's hoping the Poker Players Alliance, of which I am a member, will gain some traction in the next few years.

So, here's my obligatory entry banner. Hopefully I will do better this year.
