Low Battery
Those of you with iPhones, ever notice how whenever you are told your battery?s charge has fallen dangerously low, you are given just one option to select before you are free to do something about it? ?Dismiss.?
I mean, really... we can?t just keep being dismissive about such things, can we? Seems unhealthy. I mean, if we have to recharge, we have to recharge. Why always put off such necessary action with denials?
Speaking of, I freely admit that I am running a bit low on both time and energy today.
Regarding the former, not much time remains before I leave for Las Vegas on Tuesday. In Phil Hellmuth-like fashion, I?ll be arriving late to help PokerNews cover the WSOP over these final four weeks of the Series until the November Nine is determined on July 19. I am looking forward to the trip, and especially to reuniting with my many friends and colleagues who are already there. Meanwhile I am trying to take care of a lot of different matters and tie up some loose ends before I go, which is further taking up these few hours I?ve left.
Energy-wise, I?m running a bit low as well, having committed a lot of brain power to writing other pieces in addition to pushing forward on that second novel. Am trying to reach a point with that where I feel comfortable enough to leave it for a while when I?m at the WSOP.
I did want to point you to one of those other pieces, a feature for Betfair that went up today called ?On Poker?s Brave New World.?
You might recall how I commented here last week on an exchange between Jesse May and Brandon Adams over the whole online sponsorship issue and how Black Friday had fundamentally changed things with regard to the sponsored pro. This week another interesting op-ed appeared that also touched on the subject, a piece called ?The Beauty of Black Friday? by Rounders co-scripter Brian Koppelman.
I thought it would be worthwhile to pull together and compare all three writers? arguments in a piece of my own, and so that?s what you?ll find if you follow the link above. There are issues I?d probably take up with each of the commentators (May, Adams, and Koppelman), but I do think all make interesting arguments and provide genuine insight into how things have dramatically changed for sponsored pros and poker in general. Their writings evoke a lot of ideas about poker and its place in contemporary culture that are worth considering as well.
I hope everyone has a relaxing, revitalizing weekend. See you on Monday when we?re all back to 100%.
