I've been watching some episodes of High Stakes Poker Season 5 on youtube and definitely enjoying it. Durrr is a beast but i still think he doesn't make it to the 2nd break in a bloggament since no one folds.
I've also been playing more MTT's lately. I had a pretty bad cash game downswing in Feb and decided to head back to tournaments/sngs. I've done ok but, the hardest thing to deal with in MTT's in the stupid way you can get sent to the rail. Make good decisions for 3-4hrs get kicked in the nuts or lose a flip, standard gheyness.

Got jugs?
And i just found out (2mo's later) that KOD had a baby boy and is changing diapers and cleaning up spit between hands. He also ownd the FTP 28k the other night for the 5th-6th time.

Apples and Oranges
chip counts at crash time (heisted from Al's blog).
1. Dr. Pauly - 104,891
2. veryjosie - 30,175
3. xXGetLuckyXx - 26,695
4. noollab - 24,849
5. ElSnarfGrande - 22,490
6. MaggieO - 20,720
7. Drizztdj - 19,180
Does anyone believe Pauly would want to chop for the TOC seat when he's got a 3.5x-1 chip lead on his next closest opponent?
This is beyond dumb IMO

the crack cocaine of tournament poker
Call them what you want, super-turbo, hyper-turbo, ass-on-fire turbo. bottom line is you're playing push/pray poker from the get go.
skill?
only skill you need in this game is to catch cards early, shove and hope for the best cuz that pipe doesn't come around soon enough.
less than 20 mins to finish an $11 Double-Shootout for a seat into 'Stars Sunday Million.

Poker Tournament Overlays
I recently came across a utility called "Overlay Notifier" which runs on your toolbar and notifies you when an upcoming tournament has an overlay.
The screenshot above shows a tournament is about to start on Bodog Poker @ 10pm PST with a 44% overlay. It also shows the buy-in, gtd prize pool and the number of players currently registered. If you click on the alert it brings up your poker client and with some clients, the tournament registration window will pop up. Until today, i didn't even realize 'Stars had tournaments with overlays.
Most popular sites are supported including Full Tilt, PokerStars, Bodog and Cake. You can set the notifier to alert you based on a few settings you can customize. I have mine set to notify me if there's a poker tournament with at least a 30% overlay that's 1 minute from starting. Since most sites have late registration, it still gives me plenty of time to get registered.
The best part is it's Free-Fiddy-FREE.
btw, i requested a check from Bodog last Tuesday night and received it this Monday. Their payments are being processed much faster as of late.
