I like Phil H and Mike M. They've both been nice to me away from the table, and Phil H has even given me a blurb for my poker novel (Broke: A Poker Novel, coming out mid-06)....

"Excellent, entertaining, and extremely well-written... I couldn't stop reading!"

So Jesse mentioned the TOC bubble/$ bubble in the WSOP Circuit events....
I had a weird hand from the bubble where I laid down QQ to a pre-flop re-raise against, of all players, dave williams. i knew he was strong --- he showed AK. if i move in, i have no doubt that he calls.
folding that hand got me to the TOC, but it might have prevented me from going very deep in New Orleans.
