Episode Download Guide
I thought it would be good (after it was suggested by a few people) to include a set of instructions for downloading episodes of the Donkcast to try to make it easy to get through the barrage of distractions that is Megaupload.
I'll go with a step-by-step approach ... and its good to see that you have made it to Step 0: Go to the blog/podcast homepage http://thedonkcast.blogspot.com/ (and also technically Step 0a: go to the download instructions page & read the post!)
Step 1: Select the episode that you wish to listen to & click the link on the top right of the main blog page (eg: Episode 5)
Step 2: On the episode post, you should see a link that has megaupload.com/ followed by a bunch of numbers & letters. Click on the link (eg: http://megaupload.com/?d=6VLLGWGO)
Step 3: You are now on the first Megaupload page. In the top right hand corner you will see a four character code and a blank box above a button labelled download file. Type the four characters in the box & hit the download file button.
Step 4: This will take you to the 'advertising' page, where you will see a table with the 'benefits' of Premium downloads compared with free downloads. On the right of the table there will be a button labelled Premium download & underneath it a countdown 'please wait xx seconds' ... now you need to wait for the countdown, which takes less than a minute (unless of course you want to pay for the site or are extremely impatient).
Step 5: Once the countdown reaches 0, another button labelled Regular download will appear. Click this button.
Step 6: A dialog box will open (as well as a pop-up ad, but ignore that) which will give you the options of Open, Save or Cancel. Given that the files are relatively large at about 50Mb, its going to be best to select Save & save the file on your computer. Select a location for the file and press save.
Step 7: When the download is complete, simply open the file (or double click the mp3 file in the folder you saved it to) to play it on your computer.
Step 8: After listening to the episode, send your thoughts & comments about the episode to thedonkcast@hotmail.com your comments & feedback are welcome & appreciated!
Step 9: Select another episode & repeat the process again!
Hopefully these instructions will one day become obsolete ... yes, I plan to eventually have the Donkcast available on iTunes ... but these should do in the meantime! Hope you enjoy the episodes!

USA Day 19
A relatively quiet day. Put the latest episode of the Donkcast together in the afternoon before heading to the Bike for what was supposed to be a short session at the Bike.
Four hours later I left the table with exactly my initial buy-in from a very interesting $2/3NL table. It started with the guy who raised every hand, often showing his bluffs, which got some other players at the table involved in the bluffing (the 'I'll show him how to bluff' mentality). After a number of players left, there was something of a quiet patch, before a player arrived who every now & then decided to tell you exactly what his hand was and what he was doing ... 'I have six-deuce' and when the flop came JT2 all spades, he would bet, saying 'I hit my deuce ... $15'. Of course this didn't happen every hand, and he would sometimes find other ways to announce his hand 'I have a flush and straight draw, I'm not folding this hand' on a board of KQ9 with two diamonds. Sure enough, a ten would hit the turn & he would be big & show his J5 of diamonds for a chop with the poor guy who flopped the straight with JT.
Of course I didn't pick up many hands, with my biggest being pocket jacks ... which ran into pocket jacks to chop the pot. Managed to get even for the night in a hand with the guy who announced his hand. I limped in early position with QJ & he announced 'I have ace ten, I raise to $15'. Of course with 3 others in the hand I called & saw a jack-high flop, which was checked around. On the turn 9 I bet, and was called by the guy with AT. When the ten came on the river I confidently bet again, and was called, showed my QJ & my opponent kindly showed me his AT.
Fun times.
Also this is my last night in Los Angeles. I have an early morning flight to Las Vegas, with lots more poker on the agenda when in town. Vegas also has the best late-night snack option around - The Earl of Sandwich at Planet Hollywood. Its like Subway, but with Foccacia-like bread. They also do a mean tomato soup!
Next on the agenda: Vegas baby!!

USA Day 14 & 15
Yes, I skipped a day. Not much different to other days ... it was more poker!
Played in a 7pm tourney at the Bike & took the now standard bad beat with myself and another player all-in pre-flop 3-ways. I have KK, the short stack has TT & the guy who has us both covered has JJ. Of course the J hits on the flop & I'm out just after the first break.
Also played the $335 at the Commerce (event 19 of the Cal State Champs) & had Jerry Yang (2007 WSOP Main Event winner) sitting directly to my right. After folding for the first level or so I went on a rollercoaster for the whole tournament, which didn't end until I busted (yes, I lasted longer than Jerry Yang!). To give you an idea, here are some of the highlights:
doubled up with J8cc v KQo on a flop of Qc9h6c when I rivered a flush; doubled an opponent up the very next hand with AQ v 33 on a Q43 flop; doubled up another short stack All-in pre-flop with AQ v KT on a QJ9Q6 board; tripled up with AJ v AQ (after a slowroll when all-in pre-flop) when I flopped top 2 pair; finally eliminated when I ran AK into 77 on a board of A747T.
Ah, love this game. Hopefully the main event will be somewhat smoother sailing.
Also played some cash as well, with mixed results. It seems like I run horribly in many of the bigger pots in the hi-lo mix game at Hollywood Park, whether it is Omaha or Stud & somehow my opponent(s) always seem to find the card(s) they need to scoop or quarter me.
Also getting psyched up for Vegas ... LOTS of poker awaits & plenty of mixed game tourneys to try and take down!
Oh, and I'm hoping to do another podcast episode in the next day or two.
Next: more poker ... hopefully with some run good!

Episode 2 now online!
I've just finished a new episode of the Donkcast, and its available to download and listen here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q9LXEPFG
Its a bit longer than the previous episode, with this one coming in at around an hour in length (file is an mp3 file around 55Mb in size).
The main thing I want from people that listen to the podcast is some feedback. Hopefully I've fixed up some of the audio issues from episode one, but mostly I would like feedback about the content itself and the presentation. Do you like the format? Do you find the show interesting and/or informative? What would you keep and what would you change or add to future episodes?
Remember to direct all feedback to thedonkcast@hotmail.com
Also keep checking this blog - I'll be using it as an online diary while I am in America, which is where I'll be for the next few months!
