Breathing Room

Last nights Riverchasers event turned out pretty decent for yours truly. I was playing uber tight poker just trying to make the points and pray that no one who was a big threat would win. And for the most part it worked out.
OSU went out early, IGGY's internet went out and so he was blinded out, and RecessRampage fell just before the points bubble. That left only one real major threat, Dr J!!! Jeciimd still had a decent chip stack after the points bubble popped and I was stuck with the shorty of all stacks. I kept things tight and just when it seemed I was going to be blinded out, I was blessed with cowboys both times. And the stranger part was that they held up both times, that never happens to me. I sat on my short stack for more than 2 hours, just barely squeaking by. A few more double ups and we were already down to 2 tables.
Then it happened! Dr J moved in and was kicked to the rail! I had accomplished my goal of out lasting my enemies. And just as we were getting down to the bubble of the final table my biggest hand of the night unfolded.
Dealt KQo I minraised and was smooth called by Swimmom. Flop was J10x rainbow and I threw out a min bet figuring I can still get away from this hand and have a chance to at least make the money. She min raises back and I somehow justified calling to see another card knowing I was goneski if nothing came. Turn was the prettiest ace I have ever seen giving me broadway! I check, she pushes and of course I call. Pocket Freaking Tens! Wow! My straight holds up when the river doesn't pair the board and suddenly I'm fourth in chips and we all get moved to the final table.
What a ride it was. The last time I had this much fun playing a tournament was when I won The Mookie and even then I was getting some major suckouts and pretty much had chips the whole time. But this time I was expecting to be taken out every time I was in a pot and people kept folding to me or I was in ahead and it would hold up. Good Times!
Now that I had some chips and could actually PLAY poker I managed to hold my own for a bit till we got down to 4 people. I raised from the SB into Hoy with the JackAce and he pushes back. I have to call and do. He turns over A6o. The 6 on the river sends me packing but I was in no way disappointed. Turning something into nothing was satisfaction enough for me. The only thing I would have loved to have happen last night would have been a heads up battle between myself and Hoy. I would have enjoyed that.

I now made enough points to widen the gap between me and my enemies. The one problem that has risen from last nights game is that now Hoy is a threat and a big one at that. I'll have to wait and see the leaderboard when it's updated to know exactly how close things are but there are big points involved with The Big Game. The winner of that can still possibly hurt me and he's the last person I want to have on my heels.


Don't for get about Kat's 1$ rebuy tonight and if you don't have your token for The Big Game on Sunday, you'd better get crackin'!!

And as always BuddyDank Radio will be on the air for these events and there is a good possibility of have MiamiDon on during The Big Game!

Thanks to Mookie for hosting yet another succesful tournament with a great turnout of 72 entrants. The hammer gods were looking down on us last night.
I managed to grind my way down to the final 2 tables last night. And with Recess Rampage winning, things have gotten even more interesting. 2 games left and the 4 of the top 5 are extremely vulnerable right now. I'd talk about how much fun this all is but I'm too nervous.

Bayne was our guest on BuddyDank Radio last night. We drilled him about his winning streak and even had him on the air during a couple of major suckouts he was throwing down on people.
Ok so I've been throwing around the idea of a name change for BuddyDank Radio and since I'm reworking the website I need to make up my mind. So I would love to have some input from everyone out there.
Which one do you like better?
1. BuddyDank Radio
2. Dank Poker Radio

The Dank Poker Radio idea came to me as I was setting things up for the Dank Poker Forums. But I almost feel like BuddyDank Radio rolls off the tongue better.
Plus if you have a better suggestions please feel free to throw it out there. All comments are appreciated.

Tonight we throw down at the Riverchasers Event. This is always interesting due to the culmination of the RC players and the bloggers. And now is even more exciting due to the BBT coming to an end.
I will be broadcasting but it won't be a full commentary show like the Mookie broadcasts are. I shouldn't even worry about broadcasting due to the importance of this game but of course I can't help myself so please tune in.
And don't forget about The Big Game on Sunday. That name takes on a whole new meaning this time around. It's also the same day as my birthday so I expect lots of chips as presents from you all.

All Aboard!!!

Things are getting very tight in the race to the finish for the BBT!
I get nervous thinking about playing in the Mookie just thinking about it. But I have conceded that Bayne will win the BBT and so I've decided to stop fighting him and just root for him. So now I give you THE BAYNE TRAIN!!!!
I say "GO BAYNE! Win it all". Cause as far as I'm concerned him getting the points for first is far better then someone else in the top 10 besides myself getting them.

Tune in tonight for another segment of BuddyDank Radio bringing you The Mookie! Instant Tragedy and myself will be clowning it up and raging the tunage. Not sure those are words but oh well. Fuck it all!

BuddyDank Radio

MATH Tonight!

Changes Abound

The link to BuddyDank Radio has changed slightly as I am updating the site.
If you are having trouble, please to go this site now.

Dank Poker Forum is open and at it's same location.

Today is the big Riverchaser's horse tournament and is the start of the last week of the BBT.
I suck at horse but don't tell anyone.

Donkarama!

Tonight is Katitude's 1$ rebuy! It is quickly becoming one of my favorite blogger games. Due mostly to their being no pressure of the BBT or bankroll. Plus it's Friday bitches!!!!

I took the evening off from poker last night to get my computer operations setup a little better to accommodate all the additions necessary for BuddyDank Radio. My new badass headset came in today as well so hopefully I can rid myself of microphone problems.
I've also added about 500 more songs to my library. You can listen at BuddyDank Radio and keep track of updates and more info at the Dank Poker Forum.

The more I read about people going deep in MTT and especially the new 50-50 the more I think it's time to get back to playing more of these myself. I pretty much only play in BBT events currently but with that drawing to an end and my bankroll being in a better position because of it, I'm ready to get it on! Let's do it!!

Tune in to BuddyDank Radio tonight for the hilarity and happenings of the 1$ rebuy!!!!

Some 'guy' won the Mooke.

I don't remember who it was. Not important right now.

What is important is all the fun that was had. We had Waffles on BuddyDank Radio! Took a bit to get him going but he may have been shy. Spun some tunes and had some laughs and everyone seemed to be enjoying sending IM's to Tragedy and myself with some sort of insult directed at Waffles. Good Stuff.
There were a few minor audio problems with levels and mics and other whatnots but those should be ironed out soon.

My play was everything short of stellar. Distractions galore along with the pressure to make the points and keep my standing in the BBT. Sure enough I made it to the points but just barely. It's now become a battle for 2nd place and I need to watch my back.

More people have signed up for the Dank Poker Forum. You should too!!!
Things are going to be spiced up a bit with a change to the appearance. Check back soon!

The Mookie and much much more AC/DC

It's that time again!
Buddydank Radio will be blaring tunes and with a little extra AC/DC this evening. I spend the past 12 hours retagging my library and finding a few more songs. I now have every AC/DC album they ever made, Beotches!
And music should be easier to sort through with all the cleaning I did. I've also got about 2000+ more songs coming next week. We're gonna turn this mother out.

Dank Poker Forums are up and running. There is not a lot of content yet but we now have 7 whole members! Feel free to sign up and post anything you'd like. I'll be sprucing it up over the weekend.

Go check out Schaubs new layout and give him the loving you know he deserves.

If anyone would like to get on the air tonight just let me know. Now if I can just find the fart machine.

225.9

After making a decent run during the MATH last night I went out in 11th place. Since Bayne was the Gigli I know am only 225.9 points out of first place with 6 events to go. And no one from the top 10 was able to make any moves last night to catch up to me, so I got that going for me.
I played very well last night and only made one mistake that I can remember and it took me out of the tourney. Heffmike was raising and calling with ATC. In my BB I got A9h and he raised big from the button. I pushed, he called with 10's and IGH. Now if I had only taken a moment to think this would not have happened. When I pushed, my mindset was telling me I can get him to fold and take it down. But it was Heffmike, he was going to call whether he had 10's or 23o. Stupid stupid move my me.

Broadcast went relatively well. We were up to 24 people listening this week. Big plans for Wednesday during the Mookie so make sure and tune in!

Feel free to check out the new Dank Poker Forum. It's still under construction but I'm interested to know if anyone will use it.

Fawk!

Where to begin?....
Friday night I played in Kats $1 rebuy as well as was on the air doing the BuddyDank Radio thing. I love this tournament. So much fun for very little cash. I had a few friends over, so we sat back and had a few drinks and they played as well. None of us made the cash but that's OK cause we had a good time.
By the end of the tourney I was a bit drunk but little did I know how much more I would consume. I continued to broadcast and people kept requesting music so it was all good. I must have made a reference to having Patron in my home because shortly after MiamiDon IM'd me to discuss its greatness.
I'd heard many a time about dial-a-shots with Al. Well this was IM-a-shots! Don said he was pouring one for himself so I obliged and salute! This is where things start to go a little fuzzy but my friends say that we did this 3 or 4 times during the evening. Wow was I loaded.
The next morning I was woken up by my friends doing a pile on Buddy surprise attack around 8am. Let me tell you THAT SUCKED! I was still quite drunk and now had to drive 30minutes so we could go golfing. Lukily we didn't get to the golf course until around noon due to some delays. But golf was fun eventhough most of us really suck.

Spent some quality time with pops on Sunday and headed back home. I played very little poker after Friday but did snag my token for the MATH tonight.

BuddyDank Radio is now always live and on the air! Feel free to tune in at work or home anytime. You can also use the website to queue up anything from my library that you would like to listen to.

I'm working on some additions to the website that should go live very soon. I'm also interested in getting some feedback as to how often anyone might use such features. The main one being Dank Poker Forum. It will provide information on BuddyDank Radio as well as a central location for bloggers to communicate. I've been to other forums such as 2+2 and Neverwin but find that those places are so overloaded with douchebags that I wouldn't waste my time posting there. We'll see how it goes I guess.

BAYNE!!!!!!!!

Last night was the Riverchasers Event. I decided to go back to playing my original style of poker. BAD!!! UGLY!!!! STUPID!!!!
I'm an idiot and made a bad play. Whoops.
But the story of the night was my arch nemesis Bayne!!! He took that sucker down. Played A2 like it was going out of style and rarely did I see him lose a race. But over all he played an incredible game! He's extended his lead in the BBT to the point where I or someone will need to win multiple of the remaining events to catch up.

BuddyDank Radio was on the air. Not a spectacular performance as I had no co host for the evening. But I wasn't planning on doing a detailed commentary anyway.

Tonight is Katitude's Friday Night Donkament! 1$ rebuy baby! Good Times!
Not sure at this time if I'll be there but if I am, I'll be drunk and on the air. I mean, it is Friday after all!

Lucksac = Me!

I won THE MOOKIE!!! Woot Woot!

So they say that you can't win a tournament without getting lucky once or twice. How about 6 times???!! Karma was on my side is all I can say about that.
What a fun night. We had BuddyDank Radio on the air with all the new improvements kicking in. And we had 33 listeners last night at our peak. Wow! We even had our first special guest. Sean and myself were grooving along both playing in the Mook and hosting the show. And then along came PokerEnthusiast on the Skype to make it a trifecta. He had some interesting things to say while he continued to play in last nights Dookie.

My night of poker started off pretty normal. I was busy as fuck trying to keep the broadcast going, checking IM's and basically folding my cards. Played a lot of premium hands and chipped up to about double the starting chips. Shortly after this the points bubble burst and karma kicked in. I made several plays with ace paint only to be pushed in by a stronger ace. I won every single time. It was absolutely sick. Caught my flush on the river once, made trips on the turn, and even caught a bigger boat to take the chip lead.
The final table went pretty quick to began with. I caught a couple good hands to double up and pretty soon I was sitting on a very large stack with just 4 players left. My biggest hand of the night came against Zeem on a J77 flop. I had a J and took a chance that Zeem did not have the 7. All the chips go in and he turns up K7. Ouch! Karma comes around the corner for me and kicks Zeem right in the jimmy with a jack on the river! Sick sick timing. He goes out shortly after and we were down to 3. Fishiswa and Bcbombers have it out and Bcbombers out kicks his ace. After Fishiswa was basically blinded out I pulled a 180 with my game play. Up until then I had been playing tight conservative poker. When we got heads up, I turned up the heat and surprisingly he backed down on almost every hand. To finsh it off I got 2 pocket pairs in a row with 6's and J's and they held up both times leaving me with my first win at The Mookie!

Thanks to Schaubs for sending me the screenshot!

Not only was it my first Mookie victory, but it was my first blogger tourney victory and more importantly my first MTT victroy EVER! I'd come close a number of time but could never close the deal. Wow does it feel great to finally win one of these games.

I'd like to thank everyone who tuned in to BuddyDank Radio last night! We had a great time and I hope you did too.
My main man Timmy(ricky424) wanted me to thank the folks who donated some cashola to his account. He provides the server and bandwidth for the broadcast. He played his first blogger touney last night and I hope to see him as a regular during the weeks to come. He sent me a graph of last nights bandwidth usage.

That's good stuff right there. And we weren't every close to maxed out!

Make sure and come on out for more fun tonight during the Riverchasers Event.
Tournament: Riverchasers Online Tour #12
When: Thursday, June 14th, 21:00pm ET
Buyin: $10+1
Password: riverchasers

I'll be broadcasting again. Yet to be determined if I will have a co host. If anyone has a mic and headphones that knows how to use Skype and wants to be part of the action, let me know!

**UPDATE
I've moved into 2nd place in the overall standings in the BBT!
I'm coming for you KAHN!!!

Wednesday only means 1 thing anymore!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're getting down to the nitty gritty in the BBT. I currently sit in 4th just 1 stinking point behind NewinNow. But there is plenty of time for me to make an run for the top spot currently held by my arch nemesis Bayne!! KAHN!!!!

I haven't been playing much poker as of late due to my interest in perfecting my Internet radio broadcast. Last night I did some more work to the audio quality and I really think it's going to be a great show tonight. Please tune in.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!!!!

I'm going to run through you options for connecting to the stream.
1. WinAMP. This is one of the easiest ways to listen to the broadcast because it will default to being the program that opens the stream. Easy peasy japanesey!

2. iTunes. Almost as easy but you may have to point your computer to opent the listen.pls file with iTunes.

3. This one is new. My website http://www.buddydank.com is now running and has my entire library of songs listed. On the left hand side of the screen there is a link that says Click to Listen. If you select that it will open another window and it will automatically play the stream from there using Window Media Player. You may need to use Internet Explorer if Firefox isn't working for you.

4. I've been told Realplayer works but I fucking hate Realplayer and have had problems walking people through the setup who have tried to use it. This one is up to you.

5. Others have used programs like Foobar2000 and VLC Player but again these are for more advanced users who have the time and knowhow.

YOU CAN NOW MAKE REQUESTS FROM MY LIBRARY OF SONGS AT WWW.BUDDYDANK.COM. I also will be accepting requests through IM at my yahoo messenger account CRACKSMOKINGROBOT.

If anyone is interested in getting their voice on air then you can join us. I'm now using Skype. You will need to have a microphone and speakers.(Headphones are preferred) My Skype name is also Buddydank. Dial me up during the show and I'll patch you in.

So join Sean and I for a night of high comedy and groovy tunes.

And a I need to say a big THANK YOU to Jordan for the Buddydank Radio graphic!

Poker and Chess

Played in the MATH last night and lost early with set over set. His higher set turned into quads but that just added insult to injury. The biggest casualty in my play last night was that it dropped me to 4th in the overall BBT standings. FUCK! I have to do something to get into the top 2.

I did another broadcast during the MATH last night. Wasn't doing too much other than playing tunes until I busted out. Then I started working on the audio problems when getting Sean from Instant Tragedy on air. Wow did that fail. I should be able to get it all squared away by The Mookie. I will also try to get more specific instructions so that everyone can listen. I won't name names, but someone was having a little trouble getting the stream to work. *cough-the HOST-cough* That provided a fair amount of entertainment last night.

Jordan from High on Poker has started a little chess club of sorts. I must admit that it is addicting. I think we've got enough people to play a small tournament. After playing Schaubs in a few games, I think I'm starting to get back into the right mindset for chess. It's been awhile.

Things are looking up!

I did another broadcast during the Friday night donkament. And again had a positive response. I went out in 5th when Kat cracked my aces. Good times!

I've been working on some improvements for BuddyDank Radio. I found some better software to stream with and it is awesome. I can do some much so easily and the sound quality is much better.
One of the new features is the ability to view the library of music and make requests that will automatically be played. It's pretty sweet. I will continue to take requests through IM and whatnot because I may not already have what you want to hear but I can usually get it pretty quickly. The new site for requesting music is www.buddydank.com.
Another feature is the sound effects board. The software allows me to have a ton of goofy sound fx's setup that can be played at anytime. I've been busy looking for the best ones.
I'm also considering changing over to Skype for my co host to connect with as well as for other parties who want to get on air. Still working on that one though.

So please check out www.buddydank.com to request some tunes as BuddyDank Radio is Live almost all the time now a days.
I was recently asked if I'll be broadcasting during all blogger events. The answer to that is YES. But I will only be doing commentary during The Mookie until the BBT is over. I need to concentrate on finishing the final events strong. But after that I'm going to try to do commentary for all events. Music will be available for all of them starting NOW.

I hearing good stuff from people in Vegas. Can't wait to read more updates. Sorry I missed it but am looking forward to future gatherings.

Oh what a night!

Wow! I'd like to thank everyone who tuned in last night for helping the Mookie live broadcast a blast!!! We had a record 23 people listening in at its peak, and minus a few minor technical glitches, everything came together really well.

For those who missed it and those who will just find it entertaining, I'll recap last nights events.
12:00 My boy Timmy hooked me up with the new server stream to handle my bandwidth problems and I immediately went live with the broadcast from work. I was just playing the Waffles song in a loop over and over again. Shortly after Timmy called me to ask if I like waffles. hehe.
5:30 I get off work and rush home to get everything ready.
6:00 The stream was officially live from my home and I almost immediately had 4 listeners. Crazy.
8:00 After some fine tuning of my equipment I made a few announcements and started queuing up music for the evening.
9:00 Start of the Mookie and still Instant Tragedy had not shown up to co host but I managed to do my best to play and keep up with the action. We were already up to 15 listeners shortly after the poker began almost doubling last weeks numbers.
10:00 First break in the Mookie and we were sitting at 19 listeners and then I started getting some good requests.
10:15 It's just like, it's just like, it's just like, A MINI MALL!! Thanks to Mookie for sending that wonderful clip. One of my favorites.
10:25 I bust out of the tourney after the points bubble pops and can finally focus on my DJ duties.
10:26 INSTANT TRAGEDY SHOWS UP AND THE PARTY GETS STARTED!!! Seriously, what a boost it was to have him helping out with the commentary. I had time to drink more and things loosened up all together.
10:40 Prop bet time! We started wagering on who would final table and with this sucka! I put all my faith into Meanhappyguy and I think Sean had OSU. We had several other picks but these were out primary ones.
11:10 Second break and requests are coming in like crazy!! I was downloading everything I could get my hands on to please the masses. Beware what you request because Hanson was played! MmmBop BABY!
11:30 Somewhere during the past 30 minutes we were down to the final table and had quite a few railbirds chatting it up and listening in. I was getting a bit tipsy by this time and afraid I may have scared some folks away with my singing in the background.
11:35 Time flies when you are having fun! My boy Meanhappy guy almost pulled out the win. It was heads up between him and Doogman and Doogie took it down. The music had shift a bit from classic rock to rap and hiphop due to the number of requests coming in. I had none of this music but my friend Ares was happy to oblige. So the games over and that means the parties over too right??? NOT AT ALL. ON TO THE DOOKIE!
11:40 The Dookies was just getting down to the final table and the crew of railbirds all moved over to that game. We continued to rock on and good times were had by all.
12:00 Wow, I'd been on the air for 4 hours now and we still had close to 20 people listening in. Then it happened!!
12:01 ABBATILT! There was some discussion about Abba and I played a request for it. I was upset with the Abba bashing and went on Abbatilt myself. BUT then I put everyone else on Abbatilt by forcing them to listen to it. Part way through the song everyone was rescued by my main man TIMMY. He jumped into the stream and announced that he was going to cut off my access to the server if I continued to play Abba. It was funny shit. I of course stopped the music out of respect to the server admin.
12:30 Can't believe we're still going this strong but everyone seemed to be having a good time. We're down to the final 3 at the Dookie and it was prop bets galore. I had Bayne picked to go all the way early and he was on his way to winning this one for me but it was not meant to be. My memory gets a bit fuzzy around this time but I think it was Mattazuma that won it. I might be wrong, blame the Captain.
12:40 We called it a night and what a night it was. I had a blast!

A big shout out goes to Mclarich who again did a stellar job live blogging the tourney. Thanks for all the pimpage!

Now after all that I got to bed and awoke this morning so I could get to work. I had the small problem of still being drunk when I got up today but it's not like it was the first time that's ever happened. So I sit here drinking my coffee and watch porn clips.(seriously part of my job)

There are somethings to improve for next weeks broadcast. I'll be working to improve the audio on my microphone and the teamspeak server needs some tweaking as Numbono can probably attest to. He tried to get online but it was causing feedback that he disconnected shortly after. I think I can solve these issues so I hope more people will look into getting a mic working with their computer to be a part of the broadcast next time.

Thanks again for the support and good words. I really hope to make this a staple in the blogosphere we all call home!

Coming to you Live from the MOOKIE!!!

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!!!

Once again we will attempt to cover the action packed madness known as the Mookie. This week I will be joined by Sean from Instant Tragedy where hopefully his experience in the radio biz will spice up the commentary and professionalism to keep things interesting.
Feel like joining in on the fun?? Do you have something to say to your fellow bloggers or a bone to pick? Then here's your chance. Sean and I will be chatting it up throughout the event on a teamspeak server. This means that if you have a mic setup on your computer and want to download the necessary software then you too can chime in your two cents.

To get involved in the action tonight you will need a couple things. First if you want to listen to the broadcast you will either need iTunes or WinAMP.

1. If you have WinAMP it should automatically open it up and start playing. This is the easiest way to listen to the stream.

2. If you only have iTunes you can open the stream using two different methods. First one is when you click on the stream it should offer to let you Choose the program you would like to open it with. You will need to Browse to the Program Files/iTunes directory and choose itunes.exe. The second slightly simpler way is to Choose to save the file listen.pls to you computer. I suggest the desktop or my documents folder. Then open iTunes and go to the top heading of File. Select Add File to Library and browse to the listen.pls file and select it. This will add it to your library toward the bottom of the list if sorting by Artist. Double click on it to start it.

3. And I have not tried this but Yabi sent me a link for a plugin to allow Windows Media Player to listen to the stream. Download Here!

The link needed to open the stream is http://radio.buddydank.com:9000/listen.pls

If you want to get your chatter on then you need to download the teamspeak client from the following address. http://www.goteamspeak.com/index.php?page=downloads&id=1a
Just go to the bottom of the page and click I Agree to start the downlaod. Then install the program and open it up. Go to the top heading of Connection and select Quick Connect. Type in the server address of www.buddydank.com and a Nickname. Then click on Connect and you should be LIVE! Feel free to test it at anytime throughout the day today as I will leave it running.
*Note- you will be muted from the stream until we put you on the air.

And again I take REQUESTS! Just IM me on Yahoo Messenger at cracksmokingrobot@yahoo.com

THE NEW SERVER IS UP AND RUNNING!!! WE SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF BANDWIDTH FOR ALL!!
I want to give a shoutout to Timmy for setting this up for me. He's such I nice guy. I'll have to think of something special to show my appreciation. I wonder how much a hooker in Iowa is??


More To Come!!!

Buddydank Radio coming out in full force!!

A small number of people tuned in last week during the Mookie broadcast. I had a few glitches and think I will have them all worked out by the Mook this week. Tonight I'm working with a friend of mine to use a server with basically unlimited bandwidth to eliminate the buffering issues. And I've spoken with Sean from Instant Tragedy in hopes of having him co host the event with me. I'll most likely be following his lead since he does work in radio for a living. And along with that we should have a teamspeak server setup to allow others to be on the broadcast. Now who doesn't want to hear a Waffles rant live on air??!! I've got a lot of work to do this week to make sure it's all going to work out but I'm fairly sure I'll be ready.

Don't forget about the MATH tonight! Only 2 BBT tourney this week so it could be a record turn out for both events!

I really really wish I was going to Vegas this weekend but short of me being fired and given a large severance package, it ain't gonna happen.

I will post details on the show this week as well as information one might need if they want to speak to the masses during the show!

Decent run at the Riverchasers

I think I went out around 13th last night. But the only reason I made it that far was due to this hand.

After that I chipped up enough to stay about average the whole night. but after stealing several times, I ran QJo into AQ and IGH.
Congrats to Waffles on his second final table in 2 days. And to Hoy for his nice run last night as well. We were so close to having Waffles and Hoy heads up for the title until Waffles suffered a pretty sick suckout sending him home in 3rd.

I'm still working on getting the offsite server setup so I can handle more bandwidth for the Mookie broadcast next week.
Check out my usage graph from Wednesday.

My max upload is around 640k so I was maxed out for quite awhile there. This was why people were reporting the rebuffering issues.
I am also in the works to join up with Sean from Instant Tragedy to co-host the event.
