Junell is hopping on a plane in Vegas right now and should be back in Houston later tonight. He has my $150 from my “UT to win it all” bet. Something tells me he is also bringing back some good poker stories.

I was thinking about Junell on Saturday. I won $2.50 on party poker in the $50 NL game and then netted $6 in a tournament with my in-laws (they wanted to learn and I insisted that we play for money, even if a token amount). So, I was thinking that during the time span that I made $8.50, Junell probably won or lost a few pots in excess of $850 (not hard to do in $5-$10 NL). We will see.

Onward to Satellite #2 of the 2006 IAG WSOP Satellite Series…

An Australian ventriloquist visiting New Zealand walks into a small town and sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog. He figures he’ll have a little fun.

Ventriloquist: “G’day Mate! Good looking dog, mate. Mind if I speak to him?”

New Zealander: “The dog doesn’t talk, you stupid Aussie.”

Ventriloquist: “Hey dog, how’s it going old mate?”

Dog: “Doin’ alright.”

New Zealander: (extreme look of shock)

Ventriloquist: “Is this Kiwi your owner?”, pointing at New Zealander

Dog: “Yep”

Ventriloquist: “How does he treat you?”

Dog: “Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes me to the lake once a week to play.”

New Zealander: (look of disbelief)

Ventriloquist: “Mind if I talk to your horse?”

New Zealander: “Uh, the horse doesn’t talk either…I think.”

Ventriloquist: “Hey horse, how’s it going?”

Horse: “Cool.”

New Zealander: (extreme look of shock)

Ventriloquist: “Is this your owner?” (pointing at New Zealander)

Horse: “Yep”

Ventriloquist: “How’s he treat you?”

Horse: “Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements.”

New Zealander: (total look of amazement)

Ventriloquist: “Mind if I talk to your sheep?”

New Zealander: “You can, but she’s filthy liar!”
