DOYLISM OF THE DAY: “The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example.”

One thing for sure, Anurag Dikshit is appropriately named! Dikshit was one of the owners of Party Poker and became a multi-billionaire when Party went public. It looks like he would feel a sense of obligation to online poker, the industry that made him a rich man. Instead, he folded up like an accordion and plead guilty to breaking some kind of mystery law and is paying a 300 million dollar fine and a possible 2-year jail term. It certainly created some ill will from the other online poker sites. I personally can’t imagine what was going through his mind when he made his decision.
The Brunson family had a great Christmas, but as usual, everyone had way too many gifts. My wife and I gave specific instructions to our children and relatives to not give us any presents. We threatened to give any gifts that were given to us to the Salvation Army. At least we slowed down the gifts, but there were stacks of presents for the rest of the family. I got one present I’m not giving away, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons of “Two and a Half Men”. That show cracks me up.
I’ve already got a “football headache”. Even Casper won’t stay in the same room with me when the games are going. I can’t believe how dumb some of the football coaches are. They need to have a gambler on their staff to advise them. After all the pro games and bowl games I’ll be lucky if Louise doesn’t throw me out of the house. Poker games.
Speaking of my dog Casper, he charges the front door every time the bell rings. He sleeps on my desk and jumps off when he hears someone at the door. He has dislocated a front leg and a back leg landing on the hard floor. I’ve got to put some padding on the floor where that won’t happen again.
We had another cash game on High Stakes Poker. Again, I can’t talk about it but I will say I’ll be going for my 15th straight win on the TV cash games next time I play. I read somewhere that I play too tight in the games. Hello! I thought the object was to win the money, not put on a show to please the viewers.
Daniel: Did I hear a Mexican golfer got shot yesterday?
Caddy: Yes sir, They call it a hole in Juan.

Hi Mr Doyle. My name is Romeu and i’m from Portugal. I’m reading your book. Well you always say thank when a good advice is given to you so thank you very much. i just read the Begining and middle of the No Limit Chapter but results are allready seen. The first three tournament I got in finished 1st and 2nd out of 360. I have a small bankroll so these were 10cts each, nothing to do with your games at High Stakes wich I enjoy very much to see. Well to thank your advice i will offer you another one. about your dog, well I thinks he runs like crazy to the door is that, every time You or any member of your family opens the door he’s given a lot of atention, ain’t it
. that’s normal. But try to avoy doing that. Save that for later when he’s back to be calm again, you know just ignore don’t look. like he’s not there. You can reward him later.
Thank you very much and a Happy New Year
Romeu
