Pissed
Ok, I'm pissed. Or maybe I'm actually not. We'll see where I am by the end of this post. But I started out pissed. I was just perusing my web stats as I am
Miscellaneous
Not much new to report here. Hit quad aces last night and was able to extract some money from them. That was in the middle of two hours or so of pretty solid,
Excellent read
I just read Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's first volume of their comic series 100 Bullets. I had opened it up to read just one chapter before bed, but I w
Sunday poker
Another so-so day at the tables. Thankfully I had an old friend come say hello on IM and had a good time chatting, so it wasn't a complete write-off. The deck

Ugh...that's the last time I let Dave convince me to go out instead of following the regularly scheduled programming. Ok, maybe it won't be, but it probably sh

Blogs are a many splendored thing. It is amazing the people you can come to care about, however briefly, through a shared monologue. It can only be my hope th

If you are here about poker, I encourage you to leave already. This is about another subject altogether. First off, my sympathies to Pauly. Unfortunately t

Got to hate it when you accidentally post a draft posts. I put up my tournament notes from a 10K guaranteed tourney last night at Pacific. I've yanked them ag

Played at Paradise and Stars .5/1 on Sunday to work towards my bonuses. Played 2/4 Pacific for pure profit. The crazy loose players at Paradise continued to s
Bad Beat
33, call from UTG. Flop comes J3J. Check for the possible check raise. Turn comes J. Well, no more dicking around, I bet here. I am called. The river is a
Strange
Same table, 33 again. I actually call a pre-flop raise. Flop comes 399 rainbow. I call someone else's bet. Turn is a rainbow blank. I call again. River is

Thursday night I have ultimate, and for the first time in the last few weeks I got to feel good about a game I participated in. We annihilated the other team 1

Well, after the shellacking I took Monday night, I was anxious to settle back into the familiar rhythms of winning poker. My Monday night game was full of hole
