We are probably the only ones hyped up about this fight between the duck-eating phenomenon and the Baby Face Assassin.

And in case you didn’t get that, yes, Marco Antonio Barrera for some reason, is nicknamed as the Baby Face Assassin despite the fact that he looks like one tough Mexican S.O.B. ready to finally put an end to the pathetic legend of Manny Pacquiao.

In case you missed my previous posts about this Manny Pacquiao, yes, I’ve been relentless in berating the guy every single time he has yet another fight with another retiring Mexican.

On October 6, Manny Pacquiao will be facing Marco Antonio Barrera, yet another fighter on the brink of retirement. They’ll be fighting for the Super Featherweight championship of the world. And I’m hoping, Barrera will finally put an end to this joke just so we can move on with our lives and wait for the next Mike Tyson comeback fight.

Or the next time Oscar De La Hoya puts on lingerie again.

Manny Pacquiao claims fighting Marco Antonio Barrera on Saturday is a dream come true. Then again, he doesn’t really know what he is…

Maybe he is, if it will let him bet on the new Las Vegas NBA team in the gambling capital of the world.

He he… Yep, we’re still talking about that NBA referee who bets on the NBA games he officiates in. For all ya’ll who have been living under a rock lately, NBA referee Tim Donaghy is under investigation by the FBI for betting on the games he officiates. Yep, the bastard is calling fouls to cover the fucking spread.

Now, with the NBA’s latest and by far, BIGGEST scandal yet, Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman is confident that the issue won’t hurt the city’s bid for an NBA basketball team whatsoever.

Get this, mayor Goodman even thinks that this issue will even strengthen Las Vegas’ goal to have its own NBA team. He he… It’s Las Vegas folks. Everybody gets weird whenever lots and lots of money are involved.

Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman said, ‘’I think that there’s going to be a public recognition that Las Vegas does monitor this kind of alleged activity. I don’t want anyone’s bad fortune to cause us good fortune, but I think it will cause people to look at Las Vegas in a light perhaps differently than they do, because we do in fact regulate this kind of activity.'’

Does that also mean NBA referee Tim Donaghy can…

Yep, a fat Asian psychologist from Cali is the new 2007 WSOP champion.

Only started playing poker a couple of years ago, Jerry Yang, a psychologist from California, became the new Cinderella man of the WSOP after winning the 2007 World Series of Poker main event. He jumped from eight to first at the final table to win this year’s latest competition of poker greats. Well… sort of anyway… Heck, the guy has only been playing for two fucking years.

Jerry Yang took home a $8.25 million payday, beating the other seven players who were fortunate enough to get their asses planted on the final table. Of course, he got the coveted 2007 WSOP bracelet too.

Jerry Yang said, ‘’I study my opponents very carefully, and when I sensed something, when I sensed some weakness, I took a chance. Even if I had nothing, I decided to raise, re-raise, push all-in or make a call.'’

For a guy who’s already 39 years old, this Jerry guy sure talks like he’s Spider-Man, using that spider sense to win in poker. Did I mention he’s 39? The only thing he can sense accurately is probably the time to take a dump.

Yang, an ethnic Hmong immigrant from Laos (of all places…) had nearly the shortest stack of chips as the final nine poker players…

Here comes the moneeey… (Here we go, money talks…) Here comes the money. Money money money money money money money money money.

(Dolla’ dolla…’ dolla’ dolla…’ ching ching bling bling…) THAT, for all ya’ll wondering, is the theme song entrance of the son of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Shane. And no, it has nothing to do with the ongoing 2007 World Series of Poker tournament.

Speaking of, yeah, the field at the 2007 WSOP is being narrowed down now to that lucky group who will be having the opportunity to walk away with the $8.25 million jackpot prize. THAT means, the main event at the 2007 World Series of Poker is almost here and we will finally get rid of this farce soon. (Thank God…)

The field of about 800 has now been narrowed down to around 600 with each of them claiming at least $20,320. That’s double their initial buy-in of $10,000.

One player who won’t be having the opportunity to win this year’s WSOP tournament is my man, Chris ‘’Jesus'’ Ferguson. The 2000 WSOP main event champion was eliminated after going all in only to find absolutely no help whatsoever from the flop.

Yep, Ferguson, owner of five WSOP bracelets, started his day with…

No, they won’t be swallowing horse shit from Curlin.

The HORSE tournament at the 2007 World Series of Poker is this Sunday and it will be the most expensive tournament to enter in the WSOP with a $50,000 price tag.

The HORSE event, with each letter in the acronym standing for the form of poker played in a rather dizzying rotation of games, is expected to draw the toughest professionals in poker and will last a grueling five days.

So why do these sick bastards enter the damn thing considering the steep buy-in and the nasty five-day marathon? Well, in poker, whoever wins the annual HORSE event is considered the best all-around player of the game. Of course, it has more than a few bundles of cash waiting for you too.

Because of the rather expensive entry fee, and of course the relative obscurity of some of the games involved like razz, the HORSE event figures to attract a relatively compact field.

From the uncontrollable chaos we like to…

If there’s really one anyway.

With Spanish La Liga and English Premiership stars like David Beckham joining the MLS soccer league in the United States, the thought of having one MLS team in Las Vegas are just driving some Vegas locals crazy.

A thread in one major soccer website entitled, ‘’Las Vegas MLS plan ($35 Million on the Table)'’ became one of the most popular threads in the said soccer website. It drew 386 posts and attracted around 16,000 views, all probably coming from people living in Las Vegas.

‘’The city is twice the size of Salt Lake City, and it’s expected to pass Denver by 2010,'’ writes monster (obviously NOT his real name…) from Hanover, Pa. ‘’That’s not counting tourists. It’s not a slam dunk, but it’s not dire, either.'’

Apparently, Las Vegas locals have been longing for one MLS soccer team in their hometown that they already have nicknames for the new club. Some of the nicknames being tossed around include FC Vegas, Red Devils, Las Vegas Aces (ewww…) and my personal favorite, Sin City FC.

Others even have designs for the Las Vegas soccer team’s uniform. Of course, there were also some…

In case you’ve been living under a rock lately, the 2007 WSOP tourney has arrived.

And yeah, just because we’re having a scarcity of sports other than MLB baseball lately, we’ll continue talking about the 2007 World Series of Poker until it makes us puke whenever someone says, ‘’W-S-O-P.'’

Different kinds of people have gathered for the 2007 World Series of Poker, all hoping to be that one guy who’ll win at the final table of the WSOP and get hold of that mountain of over 10 million in hard cold cash.

Butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, homemakers, meter maids, past-their-prime athletes and former stockbrokers burned out on reading the ticker have found their way to Las Vegas. They’ve all come to chase the elusive dream of winning a wheelbarrow full of cash and to gain a slice of immortality in the world of high-action gambling.

Either that or they just want to get their nameless asses famous for a change.

Winning the 2007 WSOP tournament is probably the surest way to become an instant…

Jennifer Tilly has big ass tits.

Now that THAT is out of the way, yeah, Jennifer Tilly is rooting for all the women at the 2007 World Series of Poker. The bride of Chucky (although Jen Tilly is not really a bride of a scary doll…) can’t seem to stop talking about women. Heck, we’re beginning to think she’s into this whole lesbian thing or something…

Jennifer Tilly, the Academy Award nominee, not to mention the 2005 World Series of Poker ladies’ champion, has a theatrical take on the subject of women in poker. And yeah, people listen to her. She is after all, a poker tournament champion.

‘’You know how you hardly ever see women serial killers?'’ Jennifer Tilly said. ‘’But when you do see one, she really stands out because of her viciousness.'’

‘’It’s kind of the same in poker. The women who are successful playing in tournaments against the men are so competitive, so intense, so strong, it’s kind of amazing how good some of the best female poker players are.'’

As the 2007 World Series of Poker at the Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada heats up, Jennifer Tilly will be a part of the 2007 version of the Queen of Hearts team together with a dozen female poker professionals, celebs and executives who will donate their winnings in any 2007 WSOP tournament to the…

The 2007 WSOP tournament stretches for seven weeks while the MLB baseball season has 168 games.

Yep, as the 2007 World Series of Poker tournament heats up before our very eyes, can the full seven-week poker frenzy be compared to the ups and downs of a full 168-game MLB baseball season?

Sure. Only shorter. I guess. And if MLB baseball enables you to deal with the excitement and disappointments of an entire season running in an outdoor park, the 2007 WSOP season only lets you do that to a more confined space like sitting on a chair. The rest is more of the same.

‘’The World Series of Poker, over the course of 48 days, is not much different from a sports season that runs eight to 10 months,'’ Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series, said shortly before the opening ceremony of the world’s biggest and richest poker tournament, yep, it’s the 2007 World Series of Poker in case you didn’t get that.

‘’We have a beginning, a middle marked by a sort of all-star event and an end that captures the world’s attention. But we do it all in a very compressed time period, and in essentially…'’

He he… Yes, I’m serious.

There are TWO ways to win in poker, one is to improve your game which will definitely take time and a whole lot of practice. Yep, it takes a lot of time, experience learning, introspection and the obvious, HARD WORK.

The other one is MUCH MUCH SIMPLER. The secret to winning in poker? Find bad players. Yep, find players who are worse than you are (if that’s STILL possible) and win their money.

If you are the 10th best player in your neighborhood but have the poor decision of always playing against the nine other players that are better than you, chances are, YOU WILL LOSE. Jeez… You don’t need a rocket scientist to figure that one out right?

Your profit at the poker table is the difference in playing ability between the other players at the table and you.

Of course, looking for bad players shouldn’t be too hard. Look for any poker table. Are there a lot of checkers? Are there a lot of callers? Are there a few raisers? Does the pot always include many players? Do few players fold on the first round of betting?

Yep, these are GOOD poker games with BAD PLAYERS. Or better yet, these are games just waiting for you to win all that cash from the…
