What's in a name?

So I must be the only person that hasn't realised that my podcast name is the equivalent to
C.C .Chapman calling the accident hash podcast the 'podsafe music podcast'.
Poker podcast is a good domain to have, but thats about it.

So I'm asking listeners to suggest any names that they think appropriate (any names greatly appreciated, even sarcastic ones would be of interest) as I have no idea what to call it.

I'm thinking something like "The Sit & Go weekly podcast" (should of course be bi-monthly, but sounds better weekly)

Many thanks in advance

$25 poorer!

Its official, I am dead money!

A few turbo $6 dollar tournaments later and all I have to show for them is the $1.43 that I haven't bet with yet.

Okay so I had a few bad beats, but the last one I'm so annoyed with myself for doing.....it went something like this....

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Nik_Burns [6c 7c]
Incline: calls 30
Nik_Burns: calls 30
ThePlate: raises 90 to 120
OneTopDog: folds
eiflow: folds
dewajudi: folds
KaaapX: calls 105
tally1028: folds
Incline: calls 90
Nik_Burns: calls 90
*** FLOP *** [6s 7h 2s]
KaaapX: checks
Incline: checks
Nik_Burns: bets 1020
ThePlate: calls 1020
KaaapX: folds
Incline: folds
*** TURN *** [6s 7h 2s] [3c]
Nik_Burns: bets 310 and is all-in
ThePlate: calls 310
*** RIVER *** [6s 7h 2s 3c] [Qd]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Nik_Burns: shows [6c 7c] (two pair, Sevens and Sixes)
ThePlate: shows [Qh Qs] (three of a kind, Queens)
ThePlate collected 3170 from pot

The above is a straight pokerstars hand history email.

I'd played a few pots before this one quite aggressively with strong cards and was in a gambling mood.
Now I think that had I bet all in after the flop instead of just betting 75% of my stack I think that I would have had a better chance of taking down the pot. I'm pretty sure that my weakness of not doing that enduced the call.

But I would love to hear anyones comments on the above.

The only good news out of all this fiasco is that I now have 10 frequent player points to enter a sit&go that could potentially enter me into the WSOP, but I tell you, after my recent newbie play I think I have a long way to go yet.

$5 Richer!!!

So I've finally taken the plunge into real gambling and invested 17 earth pounds to transfer into my new neteller account.
I put $25 into my pokerstars.com accounts and played my first money game tonight.
Of course I completely forgot to record anything but none the less after about 45 mins of playing at a 1c/2c No Limit table I find myself $5 dollars up!
The last hand I played had me on a straight flush draw (I'd already made the flush) and that hand alone made me $3.
Not a lot you might be saying, but its only the beginning.

I'll be recording something over the weekend when I try and 'live the dream' by putting all my hopes into the 'it could be me' mentality when I start on my quest to win a free wsop $10k prize package.
So watch this space......and don't forget to subscribe. (its the little xml icon on the right that you need to put into your aggregator, see ipodder.org for instructions if you are new to podcasting)

Comments on a postcard please...

Hello listener(s), I'm once again trying to find time this weekend to record another show but I was hoping that those who have listened to the show could send me some comments (constructive criticism appreciated). I'll do what I can to reduce the annoying high pitch squeeks that pokerstars makes (just going to rename the relevant .wav) and hopefully the comments will be of interest, but as I don't know if anyone has actually listened to this I can't be sure.

Thanks

Nik
