Things have been crazy busy for me. I'm not really doing much on this blog, but I did write a quick poker article that should be up at www.beefbeerandpoker.com soon.
We are expecting Harlan's birth any day now.

Drinking songs
Ok, this is just going to cause a lot of arguments, so I'm not going to present it as a definitive list. Let's just call it a rough draft. Here are 25 of my favorite drinking songs. I'll try to organize them some, but it really depends on my mood.
As part of my hard work and dedication as Beer Editor at www.beefbeerandpoker.com, I will be enjoying some craft beers while I work on this.
1. The Drunken Scotsman by the Irish Rovers.
2. I Like Beer by Tom T. Hall.
3. Drinkin' my Baby Goodbye by Charlie Daniels
4. I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink by Merle Haggard
5. Why Don't We Get Drunk by Jimmy Buffet
Not bad for the first 5. This is still in fun loving Drunken Zorag's wheelhouse.
6. I Love Her, She Hates Me (and I drink) by Darryl Worley
7. Your Cheatin' Heart by Hank Williams
8. Wish You Were Here by Mark Wills
9. She's Got You by Patsy Cline
10. He Stopped Loving her Today by George Jones
Yup, that set was the bring me down set. Need to have some sad songs on the list.
11. Shout by Otis Day & The Knights
12. Mony Mony by Billy Idol
13. You Never Even Called me by my Name by David Allan Coe
14. Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks (yes, I went there)
15. Family Tradition by Hank Williams Jr.
A bit more of audience participation style in that group. Boisterous and fun.
16. Cotton Eyed Joe by the Rednex
17. Electric Slide by Marcia Griffiths
18. YMCA by the Village People
19. Boot Scootin' Boogie by Brooks and Dunn
20. Cha Cha Slide, or whatever the hell it is, or whatever the current song taking its place is.
See, you gotta play the music that causes people to make fools of themselves. Without these songs, designated drivers would have to settle for free sodas instead of blackmail.
21. Mas Tequila by Sammy Hagar
22. Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly
23. Good Hearted Woman by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings
24. Five Dollar Fine for Whining by Chris LeDoux
25. Battle of New Orleans by Johnny Horton (I'd go with Sink the Bimarck, but not as many people know it).
The last five were just round offs. I left out a lot of music, and this list obviously skews towards my tastes.

Blech
I had plans for switching my blog over. I worked hard at setting up the forums, now I can't remember how I did half the stuff. I don't have time to be the web guy (nor the time to even learn how). Anyone want the position? No pay yet, but lots of free stuff (as we get it).
I'm gonna work on an article and post it here later.

5 pound burger
http://twitpic.com/15i8qz
There are several pictures of the beast. We made it using 5 pounds of ground beef and 2 cans of biscuits. We started cooking the beef in a bundt pan, which oddly enough, held 5 pounds of ground beef nearly perfectly. After a while, we took it out of the pan and turned up the heat.
Noms!

Took down a Limit Omaha High only MTT tonight
Results
38 players in, $10 prize pool, only top 3 paid. So yeah, 3 hours of work for $5.
To be honest, I really didn't try early and was just goofing off. Somewhere along the line, I built up a huge lead. At the final table, I floated from 2nd to 4th. When we were three handed, chip leader had about 40k and the other player and I were sharing the other 26k.
I took a couple of bad hits, but kept at it. I almost had the chip lead 3 handed when I flopped a set of Kings vs a set of 3s. The river put a spade flush on the board, and I had two baby spades. He had a bigger flush and took it down.
I stayed patient and selectively aggressive. We got to heads up, and I had 39k to his 36k. A few hands later I had 45k, then a few hands after that I had 67k. The next hand ended it.
I qualified for the Ring Event, now I have to figure out what that is.

Took a shot
There were a lot of higher level LO8 players on Stars tonight. I've been doing pretty good at the 3/6 full ring cash games, and I watched a 5/10 game for a while. I decided to take a shot at it.
Wow. The level of play went over my head. There were moves being made, but I had no clue what they were. I didn't know if a raise was a steal or a trap. I might have been giving a little too much credit but watching some of the hands that were getting to the river was pretty revealing.
I was able to see more of what was going on, since I could see the hands that were mucked on the river. I believe with enough time and patience, I could squeeze out a small profit at this level. However, I believe that the bigger edge I have at 3/6 means that I would make more money at the lower levels.
I bought in for $200 and cashed out for $143.50. I had a few hands that I missed on the river and one of them would have been a huge scoop that would have given me a winning session. I took my shot and fell short. I'll try again another day.
I did earn a lot of VPPs at the 5/10 table, and now have some numbers to look at for my comparison of the new rewards program vs the old ones.
