It was discovered that a highly illegal world record base jump was accomplished from the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest tower and the centerpiece of the Gulf regions most prestigious urban development to date. While it is not known to Dubai authorities one British man and one Frenchman have successfully jumped from the Burj Dubai. The Frenchman made a second attempt, but was stopped before he could jump. Both men were arrested and held by Dubai authorities.

  • You aren’t giving me enough attention lately. (No matter where you’ve taken me, what you’ve bought me, cooked for me, etc.)

Happy September everybody! I’m sick of not having business cards, so I visited VistaPrint.com and made some decent ones until I get my metal die-cut cards. The logo, “BEST ODDS CORP” and the bottom part where it’s shiny is actually all going to be made of foil. Can’t wait to get them!

So I’ve been pondering over what kind of business cards I am going to get. I don’t really want anything too closely tied to my businesses, perhaps a link to one site that links out to them all…

Anyways, with the wide selection of business cards available today, I am considering getting 500 to 1000 double sided glossy cards to give all the John Doe’s that I meet in the poker room or on the street. However, I’m also planning on cooking something extra special up for my close friends and important business contacts… METAL.

Yes, I’ve done a search for “metal business cards” on the net and have come up with some pretty sweet designs. Most companies give the option of die-cutting, embossing, scratching, adding color, etc. I’m not 100% sure what I’m going to do quite yet, but the letter “D” certainly resembles a blackjack table… dealer on the left and players on the right…

A couple sweet examples:

I got to the Rio at about 11:45 and I’m still standing in line at 1:05. Apparently, there have been major computer and registration problems in the tournament registration office. Things are going very slow right now and I’m typing this as I’m standing in line.

The tournament directors told us about the problem about 30 minutes ago, and think that they are able to fix it by adding a 30 minute break after level 1. Most of us in the tournament registration room think that this is bullshit. However, after voicing our concern about the halving of the value of our chips, one of the directors simply responding by saying “You don’t have to play.”

Why couldn’t they just stop level 1 right where it was? You’re effectively cutting our chip values in half by making everybody (probably a thousand people) start at level 2 with 50/100 blinds. If we wanted to play with this little amount of chips, we would have bought into a $750 tournament somewhere and not put up with this bullshit.

I know one thing, I’m not tipping anybody once I win this thing. No professional service operator, especially a pit boss or a tournament director, should treat their valuable clients like this. If anybody who reads this is playing in the World Series of Poker, be careful about who you tip. All these people care about is the money, and once it’s gone, they are just going to move on to the next whale.
