After a long wait, it finally seems that the next installment of Ryan Firpos documentary “From Busto to Robusto” is about to land.
As all of you loyal fans readers know, Firpo has his lens on Andrew Robl aka. Good2CU.
Here’s the final trailer. You can watch an additional trailer here
This is a film about animals. Or to be precise, how we treat animals around us.
Word of caution: This is a very thought provoking film, and extremely graphic. I needed a break after the first three parts.
I’m text linking this time, as I’m not sure what previews Youtube will show. Earthlings
Oh, and yes – this IS a poker related post: I got the link from via Daniel Negreanu.

My heads up stats. If I’m reading this correct, even with my cards holding up every time, I still suck, more than ever. But at least I won’t be losing more money, as I’m not offically broke(n), save for $10 and a SCOOP ticket on Stars.
Not happy.
Time to regroup.

…and as much as I love you PokerStars, but Flushdance is not selling today. I do agree – poker IS a skill game, but that’s a different story.
Oh, and to all the rest of you linkfarmers out there, trying to buy your way into this blog: Thanks but no thanks to you also.

PS: I’m thinking that this is not really a Pokerstars thing, but some Search Engine “Experts” who’ve come up with the idea on behalf of Pokerstars.
Good nite.
Villains first action at this table was to openshove for T$1495. NOT the time to call with pocket Jacks. Really. Don’t do it. Unless you’re me, of course:
And in a few days I promise, I’ll have something of actual interest to talk about.
Managed to pull a beautiful suckout on an even smaller stack.
He was none too pleased.
Next hand I’m all in with KT against Ace rag, flop a King and get sucked out on the river.
fkin bs

And I’m writing all this, because “Andrew Robl”, “Good2CU” and “From Busto to Robusto” has been the three phrases that provides me the most traffic from Google for quite a while now. Fourth is: “poker player strangles competitor in fit of rage”. No kidding!

But anyway: How is your own poker network? Mine is shit all – present online-company not included, of course.
PokerStars, Full Tilt, and Cake all specifically announced they would match all player donations made on their sites. According to the Poker Players Alliance, more than 50,000 players donated to the cause, raising over $760,000. With the sites’ matching donations, that means more than $1.5 million will be given to Haiti relief efforts from the poker community.

The actual figure has to be much bigger, though. Compare it to this quote from Pokerstars:
The official relief effort ended 12 hours ago. When all was said and done, PokerStars players had donated $746,390.26, a figure that PokerStars will match for a total donation of $1,492,780.52 to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
