Day 22 of the 2011 World Series of Twitter saw 2+2 Legends, new smart phone apps, and people trying to figure out what day it is at the 2011 WSOP.

Kevmath mentioned in WPT magazine with @tattytats on the cover.

Kevin Mathers aka Kevmath made the final table today in the 9 seat.  He finally got some mainstream recognition for his efforts on 2+2 Forums…well…sorta:

Kevmath Brag: Im in @WPTPokerMag w/ @tattytats on cover as a “2+2 legend”. Beat: They spelled my name wrong. Variance: Kessler also named a legend.

It could be worse.  The last magazine that agreed to hire me to write for them folded within two weeks.  (Wishing that one was made up….)

Adam Goulding is in Seat 8 and has learned that much of life can be learned by hanging around poker players:

snoopy1239 Hanging around poker players is educational. Learned what spooning was en route to the Rio; not as mucky as I thought.

The last poker player I talked to tried to teach me how to properly clean a bong.  And no, I do not mean @BigBenClock either.

Sara Underwood is in Seat 7 and needs a nap:

SaraUnderwood I’m so tired that I clicked the lock button on my car keys 3 times to try & turn the TV off, till I realized I needed the remote to do that.

I once thought my TV remote was a cell phone.  I got quite a shock when I thought I hit send and the CNN news started blaring at me over the TV.

Gavin Griffin is in Seat 6 and I think has lost track of time in Vegas:

NHGG Welcome back to the WSOP, 2500 NL today, event number something

It’s event….thirty something.  Hell, I’m in Virginia and have lost track too.  I just had to put my mouse over the time to see that it was Tuesday.

In Seat 5, Jeff aka Hooch474 tells us about a new smart phone app:

Hooch474 Egads..old guy scoots past me using his smart phone..smelled like he was working a mobile craps app.

The all new i-crap.  Poop different.

Michele Lewis, Jon Friedberg, and myself are all sharing Seat 4 today.  (Yes, it s a bit crowded.)  Jon told me that he didn’t get the movie Ronders.  Michelle summed it up for him nicely:

MicheleLewis @JonFriedberg @compncards it’s about managing your bankroll by eating regular Oreos instead of double stuffed.

Using a smaller portion of your bankroll to play games is a solid bankroll management skill.  It also helps keep the pounds off.

Asian Spa is in Seat 3 and tries to tell Matt Savage an important fact:

AsianSpa @SavagePoker FYI, no one remembers 2nd place

Unless they are Sammy Farha.  Or David Williams.  Or Erik Seidel for all you Rounders fans.

PokerGod is in Seat 2 and would like to share a cold one:

pokergob don’t worry everybody in the USA, you’ll have time later to join me for a Red Stripe!

Ya man!  Beer! Great beer!

Colin Cooley is in Seat 1 and is about to embark on a smoothie quest:

runwicked First morning into 3 days of living off green smoothies only & all I can think about are the iced mochas I’m not going to drink today.

Of course, I couldn’t resist, so I replied to him:

compncards @runwicked After 3 days of living off smoothies, Id be saying “Where’s the Beef!”

Not skipping a beat, he said:

@compncards I’ll be saying “where are the tacos”

Yo quiero Taco Bell or el Taco Bell Chihuahua, whichever cooks up tasty first.

*****

No animals were harmed in the making of this report.  They were too fast for me to catch and I didn’t have any bacon.

Come back tomorrow when we find out why this bird is still dive bombing the fox in my back yard.
