Mixed bag

First, last night's WWdN: Not The. Congrats to KT_Bluestone on the win and to Darzog for Not winning. That pre-game Razz warm-up must have thrown Darzog off a bit. Sorry to say I didn't hang around to see the finish. It was already a bit late here in Orlando when I bubbled the final table.

Please join us next week in the WWdN: Not The Darzog Invitational, 21 Sep at 22:30 at PokerStars. Password is monkey. Attendance has been growing of late, and we'd sure like to see that trend continue.

Speaking of PokerStars, they have another deposit bonus running through next Tuesday. 20% to $120. They don't have these often, so jump on it now. It looks, however, like even PokerStars is watering down their bonuses. Last time they raised the clearance requirement from 5x to 7x. This time they've also added an expiration date. It's still pretty generous -- six months -- but it's a little disappointing to see them moving in this direction. OTOH, if they start offering more frequent bonuses, it might be a fair trade-off. I may have to start playing more ring games at Stars. It's too hard to work off the bonuses with tournament play.
