Poker stuff in May

- Want to know why I've always had the opinion that PokerStars was the best site out there? Submitted my cashout request last Friday, and today my money is in my account. A couple of SCOOP tickets were converted to cash on a dollar for dollar basis, as well. Great job, Poker Stars - if you ever get back into the U.S. market, I'll be happy to redeposit and play on your site again!

- Had some success at World Tavern and Renegade Poker (formerly Dino's Poker) the last couple of weeks (the only way I define success at these places is "making a few bucks"), and am now fully qualified for Tavern Championship - 3 weeks can't come quick enough!

- Had a 14th out of 84 players at charity poker last weekend. Didn't feel particularly happy about my game, overall, but there were a couple of big reads that I absolutely nailed...and allowed me to make another deep run in my favorite tourney. Maybe, just maybe, I'll take another crack at it this weekend.

- Faldo looks to be absolutely right and ahead of the curve with his "Full Tilt is insolvent" post from a couple of months ago. Ahhh, brings back memories of Pokerspot, doesn't it?

- Finally, We've had a cool story around our office regarding this week's WPT Championship - the lady on the other side of my cubicle is the sister of Tony Gargano, who made the final table. Gotta root for the Michigan kid here on Friday...good luck, Tony!
