How it going out there poker junkies? Hope you had fun at all your New Year's parties. So, I am trolling around and looking for something interesting to talk about. At present not much is going on in the world of poker. Well, ok, not interesting to me anyway.

Do any of you still watch professional wrestling? I was thinking about how that online poker and wrestling have some similarities. Hear me out: In pro wrestling, you have men and women that come out to perform in front of a crowd, and they think they are the next best thing since sliced bread. In reality, not many people outside of Wal-Mart probably know who they are. In online poker, you have players that think that they are God's gift to poker, and they must tell everyone they are playing against in the $1 sit and go just how great that they are.

For all of us here at PokerJunkie. com, we hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Here is my Christmas wish list for 2010: 1.   More non-Holdem events in tournament series.
