...are Waste Management's that service Irvine. Our garbage gets picked up on Mondays, and our subdivision is first on the driver's route--7:00 a.m. is when he starts. I'm up before then, but some of my neighbors aren't...but you just don't sleep in on Mondays, because that truck will wake you up.

Yesterday I estimated that PokerStars would get 500 runners for their $650 WSOP supersatellite. I underestimated the field: over 600 competed, and 37 seats were awarded. Let's assume that 35 is a reasonable estimate per week, and we will add the 50 other seats per week. That's 85 seats per week, for 16 weeks, resulting in a total of 1360 entrants from PokerStars. I'll add another 1360 from Full Tilt, and that's about 2700 entrants. Adding half of that (1350) for the other online sites results in 4050 entrants.

If you double that, you get 8100, and that's my new projection...unless the DOJ acts or Stars, FT, etc. can't execute the buy-ins and are forced to put the $11,000 in players' accounts (most players would just take the money).

This looks like a typical tax season week for me: volunteer work Monday morning, tax returns Monday afternoon, tax returns Tuesday, tax returns Wednesday, tax returns Thursday, appointments on Friday, and tax returns next weekend. I am going to see the Ducks play on Wednesday night, so I will be getting out a bit....
