Back from the Bahamas
Man I run good. On the way down to Nassau, the airline lost not only my brother Dan’s suitcase, but his golf clubs and my co-host Mike’s clubs as well. How do they manage to lose both sets up clubs? Beyond me. Predictably, he was on super monkey life tilt and decided that he wouldn’t play the main event. Four days into the trip his bag appeared. The next day his clubs. All the while I made jokes at Dan’s expense. “Nice shirt welcome to yesterday” “Damn, I switched underwear three times this morning till I found the most comfortable pair” You get the idea.
Before the trip started, Mike and I made a prop bet on who would win a 100 yard dash. He talked a lot of smack so I called him on it. As we were walking down the 12th fairway at the Ocean Club on Paradise Island we decided that this was the place to throw down. We both had about 4 or 5 drinks in us, which certainly gave Mike an edge cause he drinks way more than I do, but I had no fear. Mike had golf runners on and I had proper golf shoes so I said I would only do it if we both ran barefoot. He agreed and we lined up at the 250 yard marker. On the first try, I had a 5 yard lead about 20 yards into the race and Mike fell. How very convenient! He fared no better in round 2 as I pulled away early and make like an airplane for the last 20 yards to rub it in!
I did run bad at the poker tables for the most part. I lost $1000 in a $2/5 game that literally anyone who could name the colors in a rainbow would destroy. Every pot was 7 limpers to me. I would make it $35 with something like 33 and miss every time. I think I probably had 30 pocket pairs the entire trip and flopped exactly 0 sets. Ugh. I did win the only tourney I played in, however. A good friend of mine, Warren Karp, was running a series of tournaments in another casino on the island and we all went over to play in one of their nightly $250 event. Thirty starters and a few hours later I had all the chips when my HU opponent called off my huge all-in re-raise with 22. I asked him what he hoped I had. 
Lots of interviews and Bahama Mama’s later, here we are. Great week and looks like we may be going to Monte Carlo to cover that event as well. James, our Scottish producer, says he can’t wait to eat Ketchup for seven days to save money. He’s heard the stories of $40 dollar sammiches.
Lots of good stuff coming up on the show in the next few weeks. We have David Sklansky on this week to answer all the goofy questions we can fire at him Head on over to our forums and look for the upcoming guest thread to submit yours to the man himself. Bye for now!

100-yard dashes are obv. rigged.
Welcome back. Great shows all week, man — esp. enjoyed Norm. That was some good funny.
Sounds like good fun!
Are you guys going to be travelling to alot of major tournaments together as a media team?
Nice tournament results. Clearly he was reading your hand and put you on A2, in which case you were dominated.
Hi Adam,
Thanks for the trip report. I was wondering when you would start posting. I have a quick question, how has traffic been to the site and what future plans do you have for the site? Do you plan to just keep it bloggers or make it a site for other types of poker content?
Thanks,
Chris
