DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example."

DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example."

One thing for sure, Anurag Dikshit is appropriately named! Dikshit was one of the owners of Party Poker and became a multi-billionaire when Party went public. It looks like he would feel a sense of obligation to online poker, the industry that made him a rich man. Instead, he folded up like an accordion and plead guilty to breaking some kind of mystery law and is paying a 300 million dollar fine and a possible 2-year jail term. It certainly created some ill will from the other online poker sites. I personally can't imagine what was going through his mind when he made his decision.

The Brunson family had a great Christmas, but as usual, everyone had way too many gifts. My wife and I gave specific instructions to our children and relatives to not give us any presents. We threatened to give any gifts that were given to us to the Salvation Army. At least we slowed down the gifts, but there were stacks of presents for the rest of the family. I got one present I'm not giving away, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons of "Two and a Half Men". That show cracks me up.

I've already got a "football headache". Even Casper won't stay in the same room with me when the games are going. I can't believe how dumb some of the football coaches are. They need to have a gambler on their staff to advise them. After all the pro games and bowl games I'll be lucky if Louise doesn't throw me out of the house.

Speaking of my dog Casper, he charges the front door every time the bell rings. He sleeps on my desk and jumps off when he hears someone at the door. He has dislocated a front leg and a back leg landing on the hard floor. I've got to put some padding on the floor where that won't happen again.

We had another cash game on High Stakes Poker. Again, I can't talk about it but I will say I'll be going for my 15th straight win on the TV cash games next time I play. I read somewhere that I play too tight in the games. Hello! I thought the object was to win the money, not put on a show to please the viewers.

Daniel: Did I hear a Mexican golfer got shot yesterday?
Caddy: Yes sir, They call it a hole in Juan.
