I won a Heartland Poker Tour $1650 in a suburb of St. Louis for $132k. I ran really hot and was overall satisfied with my play even though I got it in bad on the last hand against Ari. Even though I don't visit here much anymore, I want to give a shoutout to LP for helping my game a ton when I played a lot.

There's a live stream of the entire ft up at twitch.tv/hptpoker. It might air in edited form on some small regional sports stations eventually. Unfortunately, the live stream doesn't have hole cards because of Missouri gaming restrictions.

Ugh. I'm a big Cardinals fan. The Giants just finished wiping the floor with the Cardinals and that's fine. We had an unbelievably lucky 2011 playoffs so I can't complain that much. What really makes me mad is the national media narrative that this series was won by the Giants rallying after Scutaro was slid into by Matt Holliday. Vogelsong absolutely dealt that game and in Game 6. I'm pretty sure the Cardinals only had one starter pitch past the 4th inning. These are the reasons San Fran beat STL. The Fox pregame compared Marco Scutaro to HOFer Paul Molitor. He's a comparison of their regular season avg/obp/slg

Scutaro: .276/.340/.391 over 11 years
Molitor: .306/.369/.448 over 21 years

Does anyone understand a playoff hot streak? Scutaro is 36 years old. Please hope your GM doesn't sign him to a 3 year deal for $8 million a year.

Albert Pujols left the Cardinals this year. Lance Berkman played 32 games this year. Chris Carpenter started 3 games in the regular season. Adam Wainwright is just coming back from Tommy John surgery. Rafa Furcal blew his elbow out right before the postseason. Meh.

Whatever, the future is really bright in St. Louis. Kelly, Miller and Rosenthal look like complete studs. It's been a hell of a ride this year and I'm already excited about next year.

Thanks for reading my drunken postgame sadness rant. I'm pretty sure no one like baseball here anyway.

So I'm going to Austria from the 12th through the 19th of June. During the week I will be staying in Poysdorf a village in Austrian wine country. On the weekend I will be in Vienna. Basically I'm going to be on my own during the week while my friend works in the Czech Republic so I need shit to do in either Austria or the Czech Republic. I was thinking about taking a day trip to either Prague or Salzburg.

I know we have a lot of euros on LP and I would like your guys recommendations.

Here's the hotel that I'm staying at during the week in wine country:
Hotel Veltlin
