It was only less than a week ago since the World Series of Poker main event finished (a no limit Hold ‘em tournament with a $10,000 buy-in held every May at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas).

A television producer by the name of Jamie Gold finished first this year, taking away a record breaking $12,000,000. However it wasn’t all fun and games, a man named by Bruce Crispin Leyser has allegedly filed a court case seeking 50% of Jamie Gold’s winnings. Rumour has it that Gold had an agreement to recruit a number of celebrities for the Poker Room “Bodog”.

Leyser disputes he has voicemail messages from Gold confirming the deal on the morning of the final table. A restraining order is now in place preventing Harrah’s from paying Gold his prize money. The first hearing of this lawsuit will take place on September 1st.

(If you ask me thats a Bad Beat).

I wonder what Bob Hoskins would have made of this. They must have called him more than once to get him this angry.

This video is a bit nasty so if your squeamish I suggest you dont watch it. This guy does this for a living but apparently abit of sweat landed in the crocodiles mouth so it decided it was going to rip his arm off! I dont think he will be trying this again, well at least it wasnt his head.

Me and Oz used to go to the British kiddies prison camp that are disguised under the name “Pontins“. I think about 5pm this guy used to walk out in a crocodile suit and and take all the children to there beds accompanied by some dodgy song, Oz enjoyed it I think he still has the CD.

This could only happen in America, the sound that was coming from Queen’s slaps sounded like they were real stingers.

Plagiarise: To copy and assume credit for someone else’s work, instead of acknowledging in writing (typically in references at the end of a paper) that someone else produced it.

I’ve used public videos from You Tube and Google, but never stuck my name on it. There is a number of sites like Clip a Day, who plagiarize every video submitted:

“You agree that when you send a Submission via this Website, it becomes the sole property of ClipaDay.com, and we may use, copy, sublicense, adapt, transmit, distribute, publish, display or otherwise use it as we see fit, in our sole discretion”.

But who’s to say the person that submits a video to Clip a Day actually owned the orginal copy? Perhaps the content suppliers are the same owners of site?

I decided to drop them an email:

“Hi,

Just wanted to let you know I hate the way you fill Google’s Top 100 with crappy videos and I think your scum.

Kind regards,

Oliver Jon Cross”

Followed by these tossers at The Book of Arse:

“Hello,

I see you like my site which I appreciate, however don’t go around stealing my content without asking or at least putting a link first:

Oliver Jon Cross”

————————————————————————————

“Dear Oliver Cross,

I was emailed the content from your website and I posted it on this Blog. I wouldn’t look at your shit website even if the only alternative were to be buttfucked by Iron Mike Tyson.

Grow up, you content-Nazi.

Yours uncaringly,

Dissy Boy Fonz

Someone print it out and post it off. I hope I don’t start getting angry emails from YouTube next”.

“Dear Dissy Boy Fonz,

Sorry for the honest mistake and fuck you very much for the link.

Yours gratefully,

Oliver Jon Cross”

Some times I think I should be back at school.

PKR just made online poker more interesting, now you can play in a full realistic 3d environment. Your no longer just an avatar; you can design your character to how you want to look. You choose your clothes, facial structure, skin tone, hair, poker tricks even down to your eye colour. You can wear customisable clothing, jewellery, and accessories. You can move the camera and play in a number of different environments like a bar and on a cruise ship.

What advantage do you have by choosing PKR to all the other online poker rooms? The answer is not much, but it’s sure great fun to dance when you win a big hand or maybe cry when you lose. There are about 20 or so actions you can do at the poker table from clapping, coughing (not sure why?), chicken dancing, calling your opponent a loser and a load of chip tricks. PKR is like The Sims but playing poker. The software is free so you don’t have to pay, however it can take up to 40 minutes to download but it’s still worth it.

It’s probably one of the first online poker rooms to bring physical tells to the table (A tell is when a poker player’s unconscious actions or habits that disclose the strength of his hand to his opponents). So when you catch a player dancing for the last 20 minutes he might be drunk, either that or stupid. Either way you can entice players to call your hand by sticking your thumbs up before raising.

I think it’s a great idea; it’s not the right option for an avid poker player because you can’t really play more than two tables at once. But if you want a laugh you should really check out their site PKR.com.

Can’t say this has happened to me.

Last night was my 9th winning session on the Poker tables, just one more and I hit a new record. The hard part at being good at poker is the learning process. Learning means losing but it’s the fastest way to become skilled.

I haven’t seen this video in a long time, lol.

Let’s face it, it had to be done. I know I wouldn’t have thought twice about it.
