I’m playing all sorts of poker at the moment at Pokerstars. The enormous traffic in that room still is a great advantage compared to smaller poker rooms. I’m playing some micro stakes cashgames and small (multi-table) sit ‘n gos. And meanwhile I’m updating my top 200 list of best songs of all time.

In my cashgame as well as in a tournament I catched quads the past few days. Let’s watch the first one, the one from the cashgame:

I’m playing the .10/.25 game, with a maximum buy-in of 50 big blinds. This is actually the second hand I play at the table, after getting a walk on my first big blind. I call the button raise with T9 suited and flop the absolute nuts. My shortstacked opponent decides to make a continuation bet and I just call: I know all his money goes in when I slowplay this hand the right way. I fill up to quads on the river and win my first pot at this table. Then I played this single table sit ‘n go (9 players) and we were down to four of us:

Of course I’m lucky here: I’m down to ten big blinds and I’m obliged to push with T4 here. Bummer my opponent has a premium hand, but hey, I can beat that with quads .

Like I said, I made another update (the second one) to my top 200 songs. Which song will be the best song of all time? Previous number ones were Neil Young’s ‘Like A Hurricane’ and ‘God Only Knows’ from the Beach Boys. Today I show you #200-151,  which you can of course find  here . New songs from among others the Beatles (One after 909 from the album Let it Be) and the Velvet Underground (Venus in Furs), a warning for what’s about to come later. There’s Dylans song about poker at #181 and Nirvana tops the first part of the list with Dumb (1993).
