		<title>Open Letter to President Obama Re: Shutting Down of Poker Stars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mr. President, I know you are receiving many canned letters from poker players tonight, but this one will be a little different &#8211; it comes from MY heart.

		<description><![CDATA[I had a sweet win tonight. I came from 15/18 to take down a $22 6-max with $4,000 guarantee. It had 265 runners, and I offered an even chop after we evened up in chips.

		<title>Post-&#8221;Big Cash&#8221; Donkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got to stop making this inevitable. There is something about getting a decent cash that enhances one&#8217;s feelings of invincibility.
