oh my days

Now let me start of this post by saying I am by no means a prude... But c'mon, THIS is ridiculous!!!

I was reading Negreanu's blog, and he was going on about this 22yr old Yank, who was AUCTIONING HER VIRGINITY!!!

I thought, wtf, this can't be true... But... it appears as though it is... What makes me sure it is, is the fact that her sister it turns out works in a brothel also, the Bunny Ranch just outside Las Vegas, which is where this 'thing' will take place...

Apparently she has had a bid of $3.8m lodged!

She says it is to put herself through school... I suggest reading Negreanu's blog, http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/blogs/article/453

He gives great insight into why this is such an interesting story...

I believe people should be able to pay for sex should both adults be consenting, what they do is their choice... (I would NEVER do it though I might add! My gf fulfills all my needs in THAT department) But this story I find horrific... I don't know quite why it makes it worse, but it does...

Anyways, in other news, I thought I'd post quick reviews of all the good/bad films I watched over Christmas/NY period...

Casino - 4/5, Lady Vengeance - 4/5, Stardust -3/5, Transformers - 3/5 (the film was AWFUL, but the special effects were amazing), 24 - Redemption - 2.5/5, Golden Compass - 2.5/5, The Grinch - 3/5, Persuit of Happyness - 4/5 (seen before but watched again)... Sure I watched more, but can't think of them!

In other news... poker is ok, I have won a bit lost a bit... I am on about $565 profit for the year, I have lost about $90 from my peak...

I cam 10/180 in a $12 turbo tournie, my hands held when they needed to until the final table bubble. I lost JJ v K9 for a pot that would have made me chip leader, then I raised in position with 9d10d v mid big stack (bout 1/3 more than I had). He flat called. Flop comes K J x two diamonds, I bet out, he re-raises all in, there is 64,000 in the pot, and I have 11,000 behind, I call and don't hit. I had a terrible draw on this table, and should have just waited it out till the final table to see if my draw improved. Once in the hand, I think I have played it right.

Anyways, back to the grind,
