Why Otis Rules, Part 31
November 30, 2007
My “don’t give a crap” attitude towards poker continued last night with a very hoohum showing in the Riverchasers game. I just can’t seem to get motivated to give a rat’s ass about playing with anything resembling my modest low level skills. Too much time spent crunching numbers and taking care of business I suppose. Only 7 more tournaments left to get my seat in the TOC and I don’t see it happening without a huge breakthrough in spectacular lucksack fashion. The cards will need to play themselves because I can’t seem to find it in me to play them.
Congrats to Chad for getting the next seat in the Tournament of Champions, from what I saw he managed to weave his way through a monster minefield much better than the rest. “Any two cards!!!” seemed to be the rallying call of the players last night. I stuck around until the final table but was pulled away before the end. I do remember telling Riggs that if noollab managed to make the TOC I just might commit poker suicide.
Thanks to sellthekid’s 20th place finish I was forced to do extra curricular math to figure out the Player of the Week winner. I’m waiting on confirmation about his entry into the $750k this Sunday.

Vegas plans are pretty much locked up including some covert operations trying to add some old timers to the trip. If you are still on the fence, Otis put up a youtube clip with a crap load of pictures from various gatherings including Vegas, the Bash, and Brad-o-ween.

Myself and others often spend way too much time dealing with, and commenting about, general poker douchebaggery. We all handle jackasses our own way. It would be impossible to have such a large group of people with the same interest and have them all be the same. Douchebags happen.
Then I’m reminded of the other 99% who make my time in this corner of the internet worth hanging around for.
Many know of Dr. Chako, some may not. Dr. Chako is a fellow poker blogger who just happens to spending some time over in the great big sandbox of Iraq. He is a doctor serving in the military spending time away from his friends and family to serve the country. The last time I saw him was at last December blogger gathering during the tournament. He was on the unfortunate side of one of my suckouts (my KK cracking his AA) and I won his bounty. One of his hats from his last tour of Iraq complete with his old Captain’s bar attached. Knowing he was soon to be deployed again, I took the bounty as a great honor. That hat sits on my dresser as a reminder to be thankful of our service men and women.
Long story coming round about.
Otis, just about the coolest blogger to scribe words about poker, sent Dr. Chako a present from halfway around the world. I don’t know the details behind it but you can check it here. Otis sent an autographed Gibson/Epiphone acoustic guitar from G-Vegas to Iraq for no other reason than that’s just what he does.
For every douche out there, we have 99 others like Otis.
