Hello everyone and welcome back! I've decided to do something special for my 1,500th post so I added another another blog entry. Why don’t you have a seat right over there…enjoy. So yeah, I’ve been writing about poker for a while now – whether it was about day-to-day happenings from the poker scene, interviews with the poker community members, or any other piece of text referring to poker in one way or another. I’m like that, you know?
When I heard that there is a possibility for poker bloggers/writers like me to win $5,000 without actually playing good poker or turning to prostitution, I have to say I was pretty skeptical. I mean seriously, that’s a pretty good amount of money for a horrible poker player such as me. I may have written about massive pots hundreds, if not thousands of times, but I haven’t been desensitized by this – I am still grateful for the cash I make because it will take a while before I use triple merge ranging to win a $100k pot off of Isildur1.
He's un-triple-merge-range-able, but that's besides the point.
I then started thinking: what would I do if I actually win this money? Then I remembered about my fantastic monkey-stamp: I could buy about 5,000 $1 Kinder eggs, or order one massive Kinder egg worth $5,000! I might put myself into a chocolate-induced coma, but that’s pretty much how everyone would want to go. Imagine the size of the toy as well – they could fit an Optimus Prime in that bad boy, complete with Shyia LaBoef’s massive lack of acting skills.
You're never too old to enjoy a giant Kinder egg.
I could try to use this money to fuel my space travel addiction (I’m the senior editor at Space Travel Aficionados Quarterly), but I think that money would only get me to Canada. I could actually go there, meet Daniel Negreanu (I’m such a fanboy, it’s ridiculous really) and tell him I love him and I have listened to all his albums, especially his early work, before he went mainstream. Plus, he’s got Romanian heritage, so we could talk sh*t about people around us, all while keeping a friendly face.
Daniel, telling Jennifer Harman how much her cooking sucks in Romanian
Investing crossed my mind as well: putting $5,000 on some stocks and waiting until I could wear a gold suit and hire a butler for my penis like what Peter Griffin did sounds like a great idea. I would be so rich and famous, all because of a blog competition. Then when I’m rich, I will be able to take up sports like cricket, talk with a marvelous British accent, and then get the finest tea, crumpets and cocaine that money can buy.
Quite.
After considering all options, I realized I will probably donate it back to the poker economy, bit by bit (I’m not going to try NL 500,000 just yet). From this point of view I guess I’m good for poker. After all, I love poker and this way I won’t have to spend another 2 years trying to get out of the micro stakes. So yeah, I guess I’ll probably do that. You should thank me, you bastards.
That being said, I really hope I get to play in the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker. Should that happen, I’ll try to document my adventures in a separate entry. Until then, have fun at the poker tables and say NO to drugs.
Yours truly,
vhallee
