Doyle Thinks Men Entering Women's WSOP Events = Wussy
"A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory."
After playing 5 events at the WSOP I still haven't cashed. I played the worst poker of my life yesterday in the Omaha 8 or Better. I had little interest in the event and played like a rank beginning. At least I got down to the final 30 players in 3 of the 5 tournaments. I may take a few days off and try to figure out my lack of enthusiasm. It's hard enough to win when you are focused so I've gotta turn things around.

Warden at Joran van der Sloot Peru Prison Killed First Day On Job
Peru prisons are among the world's worse. There is no denying that. Joran van der Sloot, who confessed to the murder of a young Peruvian student Stephany Flores while attending the Latin American Poker Tour nearly two weekends ago, is currently awaiting trial in solitary lockup. There is high fear that the Dutchman will be murdered if assimilated into the rest of the prison population at Peru's Castro Castro facility. That fear is well grounded.
In some ways van der Sloot lucked out. Many pundits expected him to be locked away in the more notorious Lurigancho Prison.
