Trials of a Poker Apprentice: 'Not even fifth best at this table'

Great story in the Las Vegas Sun today previewing the second season of the best poker show on television, High Stakes Poker. Apparently, the table talk is getting meaner. Here's the story:

Watch for some fireworks in second season of 'High Stakes Poker

I don't know what it is about poker pros being catty with one another that interests me, but it does.

Otherwise, it's still a pretty uneventful time for me on the poker front. Still haven't played anything except the Spades Lounge freerolls, and I'm still sucking at those. I know, I know, I said earlier that, even though I hadn't made the money, I was still playing pretty well in those. But, damn it, not cashing is not cashing, and it sucks.

One of these evenings, though, I'm going to get a big stack and NOT get bored and implode trying to be cute. Then, watch out, because that $13 will be mine.
