I've just seen a preliminary trailer for BUCK WILD, the feature film where I have the lead role of BUCK WILD himself, and I must say, this looks amazing!
It is only the first pass, and not yet available for public consumption according to the marketing department. It was created for test purposes and to gage the entire film's promotional opportunities as well as to secure additional investment and support.
Early indications are strong and favorable, giving us all hope and encouragement for a great run and a terrific, high quality product at the end fo the day.
Stay tuned for more info soon! And hopefully to view some footage.

Another 2nd place finish at RED HOT POKER
Strong play, slow and steady building a decent chip stack and then finally headsup at the Final Table in Brantford, I was pleased with how things went. I began the evening with Pocket Aces adn never looked back.
At the FT headsup, our chips stacked were virtually even. I found pocket 4's in the Small Blind, and after one hour to get to this point of being headsup, I chose to get real aggressive trying to end it right there. Unfortunately, the BB woke up with pocket 10's and it was all over in one hand as he did have me covered but just barely.
700 well needed points! It feels good being back in the top 20 once again.

MINUS 8 shooting underway!!!
Day 1 is in the can.
Shot in the back woods of Newmarket we're now rolling. And what a feeling now that the action has begun. This is going to be so great. Clearly I am excited to get at it.
Personal note here: while growing up my family talked about things and people we didn't especially care for as needing to be put "on the bus." This essentially eliminated it (or them) from our lives forevermore. Let me just say this about the first day of shooting: there is a bus involved (and yes it did have more than 3 rows on it)!
Good work to the kids on set Mahja (?), Piper and Olivia! I hope you will all be OK and have a great year of school. See you at the premiere, 08/08/08. http://www.minus8themovie.com/

RHPT Winner 1,000 Points!!!
My first win of season 9!
Heads up agaiunst Alex B for almost an hour. Winning hand saw my 4-6 in the BB receive an open ended straight on the flop (3,5,9). Alex hit top pair and pushed allin. I wondered if drawing to make the straight was wise at this point as my stack was about 3/4 of the chips in play. It would have been a nice swing in his favour had I missed. I finally chose to call and when the 7 hit the river, I was gold.
This has me in the top 10 for fist time in 4 seasons, even though I don't play anywhere near as often as the usual top 10 players, it feels good.
I will play 2-3 times more then take a week off due to 5 days of referee assignments coming up.
In the 3 seasons I've been with the Red Hot Poker Tour, I have managed 4 wins each season and made 19th place as my highest final position. Tie for 72nd (season 6), 19th (season 7) and 27th (season 8). Top 120 point getters in Canada, receive free entry into the Tournament of Champions, wherein the Winner receives a $10,000 entry into a world class Poker event and all cash won there is yours to keep. I ended busting out about 70th, 12th and 60th respectively to date in those TOC events.

Glade Air Fresheners US National TV Spot Done!
Ahhh the smell of scented candles! "HuuAhhh" (in the words of Mr. Pacino)
Fantastic day of shooting this US National TV spot is now in the can.
Draft FCB out of Chicago, using a New York crew from what I understand made 3 spots in this pool with me playing the Husband/Dad in the "Xmas Holidays" spot. I'm guessing that means it won't go to air until closer to the US Thanksgiving time line, but who knows.
Stay tuned......

Project Crdit Card--Audition Aug 8
This is one awesome opportunity.....
TV spot shooting in Buenos Aires, Argentina Aug 18-22. Wouldn't that be nice?! Duh...never been... love to go. Passport is in order, and audition is tomorrow at 245pm @ Powerhouse.
They're looking for a little juggling ability so no worries there. They are asking for 50 ish age, so let's hope the slightly younger side of 50 is acceptable!

RHPT--2nd Place for another 700 points
J's place Monday night saw Carlos Munoz and I go heads up.
Just prior to taking it down, a good hand was stolen from me, and it hurt my stack. I simply got outplayed tonight headsup.
I raised my BB up to 12,000 on top of Carlos 3,000 call into me, preflop. I had Q4 suited. After the flop came down, AQJ rainbow, Carlos immediately said 10,000. I was looking at him having an Ace or even hitting the nut straight when he called my preflop raise. I stalled thinking my only move was over the top for final 38,000. I folded and Carlos threw KJ on the table, beating my middle pair, even though he also had a straight draw. Who knows how it would've ended, but it seemed at that moment I should've re-raised. Nice hand Carlos.
Then my death came when I raised to 18,000 and Carlos called the extra 12,000. Flop came down 66A, check check, Jack, check check, 10 on the river. I said 15,000, Carlos called and showed Pocket Q's. My 10-8 was not even close.
And the evening ended with my best impersonation, "Player announces allin for 6,000" with J8, Carlos called with K6 hitting the 6 needlessly on the river to take it all.
That makes twice the bridesmaid (and counting?) this season.......next time, next time!
