I would love to review the musical selection by Phil but I didn't have any music in the podcast that I listened to from iTunes. I'm extremely curious as to what it is like now considering it was so openly hated by you. It couldn't have been that bad. To not give him another shot at the musical selection sounds a bit harsh.

The hand of the week analysis was good. It was almost exactly what I thought you and Phil would have done faced with the exact same circumstance. In fact everyone that has posted so far has done exactly what I thought they would do.

As far as the head to head blinds situation discussed on the podcast. I would take a different approach to things when faced with a short stack. It may be true that you have a 50/50 shot against any random hand with some of the hands you discussed but I think that there are better spots to make moves then that. I think Andy Blochs section on heads up matches with random hands was better suited for heads up matches when playing for first and second at the end of the game. Not so much when you're in the middle of the game and short stacked in the blinds. I would much prefer to wait for one of his "top 11% hands" (which includes the most powerful hand in poker - suited) and push with that when the moment is right instead of taking a crap shoot against one of the blinds with a sub-standard hand. (like Q 6 suited on the button with 2000 chips left. Not to get too specific. Cough, Cough, Mark) Regardless, it was a good discussion and very educational for those that haven't read anything on hand percentages.

I would highly suggest picking up a copy of the Full Tilt book and reading up on Andy Blochs section. Real good stuff there. Or perhaps just wait until he ends up on the podcast and listen to him explain it personally. I'm sure we will be hearing from Andy any day now.

Great job guys!

Blind me down is correct - the musical cut didn't come through.

Phil catches a cold. I see a children's novel here. Perhaps written by Chelsea Clinton?

Phil- have you tried Titan Poker Biorhythms yet? It calculates the high, low & critical periods of your biorhythms to give you an indepth look at what's in store for you before you go play poker.

If you go to AskMen.com http://www.askmen.com/fashion/how_to_300/360_how_to.html
they will show you how to perform an Exorcism, it might help your poker game.Who needs an exorcism?
The first thing you need to establish when considering your exorcism abilities is whether someone needs to be exorcised; if they’re spouting obscenities, doing weird things with a crucifix, throwing up green gunk, and rotating their head 360 degrees, then you can safely assume that they’ve been possessed. Other telltale signs include an aversion to signs of the Catholic faith, unworldly physical strength and knowing languages or facts foreign to the subject. The second thing you need to understand is what a possession actually is; in layman’s terms, it’s when a demon takes control over someone or something else.

Small blind- sometimes you have to play agressive to prevent people from getting the idea they can just trounce you in late position everytime with a raise to try and get you to fold your small blind.
