It's official. Party is significantly fishier since the Monster Bad Beat Jockpit was introduced. How do I know this? Well, I have been running well; but that is not sufficient proof. The average pot per hand is up, but that is not sufficient proof. But when two of my regular "buddies" (one a lag, one the most loose-passive player I have ever seen appear on a table at this level on a regular basis) move up in stakes then clearly even the people whom I define as fish have found people whom they define as fish. Frightening.
So, I'm throwing into the mix a table of $3-$6 whenever one of my lifelong friends is around. This has an extra bit of added EV. It gives me twice the chance of qualifying for the $100K freerolls, since I am playing at two levels. Logically I should 4-table and play at four different levels or max number of players. Then again, what's my EV from the freeroll? $40 maxmimum I would think. Not really worth worrying about.

I see that capitalism got to work earlier than even I thought. Within two days of the current airline restrictions being brought into play, the "airside" shops have been classed as "sterile" (i.e., you can buy stuff there). The alternative was to see them go broke within a month, I guess. I'd like to moan about this, but the relief of being able to buy a book, a pen, and similar vital accompaniments to air travel are such that my major feeling is one of relief.

I must recommend "Time Trumpet" to people who were fans of Chris Morris in The Day Today and Brass Eye. Armando Iannucci is back on top form with this one, declining to appear before the camera, but adding his marvellously lugubrious voice to the commentary. Some of his satire really hits home, particularly at the "rent-a-comment" crowd who appear on theose Channel Four compilations. One typical snippet.
"So, do you watch much TV now?"
"Well, not really, maybe I'll take it out of my pocket and watch a few minutes of sport, but there's so much else to do now".
"It would help if you said that you watched a lot of TV."
"Absolutely, I watch TV all the time".
