Woot.

Sooo, last night I played in a $2,500 tournament on Pokerstars. I was able to buy into it with the frequent player points I’ve accumulated from playing so much at Stars. There were 558 players in the tourney. I ended up finishing 5th and winning $132. Not bad for a free tourney I’d say. I probably could’ve finished higher but in my last hand I was up against a guy who had been bluffing all night with crappy cards. It figures the one time he’s not bluffing is when I end up in a hand with him. Ahh well. It was a good experience. There were some really excellent players in the game.

Holy crap, man.

I’ve just finished listening to a cover of King Diamond’s “At the Graves” by the band Pagan’s Mind. Just incredible. If you’ve heard King Diamond you know King has some of the most unique and complex vocals you could ever imagine. Extremely high sometimes, low and demonic other times. Well the vocalist for Pagan’s Mind pulled them off perfectly…and that could be an understatement. It might as well just be King singing because I can’t tell the difference. Amazing. I’m floored.
