I just saw the Detroit Tigers on TV. In the middle of January, why are people playing baseball? And why is it on my TV?

Review: The Theory of Poker
January 18, 2005 – 9:59 am
The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky is probably the most comprehensive book ever written on poker strategy. Sklansky covers bluffing, slow playing, game theory, table selection, and every other topic you can think of. While the book was written several years ago, almost everything can still be applied to today’s styles of play.
I will [...]
The Real Dutch?
January 18, 2005 – 8:21 am
Dutch Boyd (or someone appearing to be Dutch) has left a message in my Poker Chip Tricks forums. By the way, have you seen Dutch’s Ebay auctions? He’s auctioning off stake in himself for the next WSOP tournament.
Read Feeds
January 17, 2005 – 11:01 pm
Do you use a feed reader/service to keep track of blogs that you read? Currently I just jump on my sites and check the link list to see which sites have recently updated…pretty dumb way of doing it. I know there are countless sites out there that will store your blogroll and let you see [...]
WordPress Plugin Repository
January 16, 2005 – 3:00 pm
Recently, the WordPress Plugin Repository was launched, so I figured I should participate. I just got done adding all of my plugins. It’s a little bit of a process getting things in and out, but I think I got the hang of it now. I’ve created a page in the Wiki at wp-plugins.org that lists [...]
Coach Carter
January 16, 2005 – 12:01 pm
Last night I went to see this movie with a few friends. Coach Carter is one of the best sports movies I’ve ever seen. It’s based on a true story, so the plot is great and the movie was put together really well.
Samuel L. Jackson is always great and this movie is no exception. He [...]
The Down
January 15, 2005 – 4:38 pm
On November 26th, my bankroll was at an all-time high of nearly $2,400. I had just moved up to $2/4 limit hold’em and was doing well. A few days before, on the 20th, I had even set some goals. Oh how quickly it all changes.
The Village
January 15, 2005 – 11:26 am
Ever since I saw previews for the Village I wanted to see it and couldn’t wait for the DVD to be released. Even though I’ve heard mixed reviews about the movie I still wanted to watch it. I’m glad I did.
M. Night Shyamalan comes through with an amazing thriller that keeps you guessing. If you [...]
Review: Tilt Episode 1
January 15, 2005 – 11:19 am
I’ve read other reviews of ESPN’s new poker show TILT and I have to disagree with them. I won’t even link them here because I’ve seen so many. I think they are all being a little to critical of the show. I mean, it’s a drama series on ESPN for Christ’s sake! Were you expecting [...]
Mech Assault 2: Lone Wolf
January 15, 2005 – 11:10 am
The original Mech Assault was the first game I played on Xbox Live and it was a great game. For the past few months I had been looking forward to the release of Mech Assault 2: Lone Wolf for a fresh Xbox Live experience. After playing a few games online, I’m very disappointed.
The single player [...]
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
January 15, 2005 – 11:01 am
Ever since the ending of the first Resident Evil, I had been waiting for this movie to come out. After failing to see it in the theaters, I bought the DVD. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a good movie, but definitely not as good as the first was.
Apocalypse takes place in Raccoon City, where Alice (Milla [...]
Ghost Recon 2
January 15, 2005 – 10:35 am
What a great game! The single player campaign in Ghost Recon 2 is top-notch and the Tom Clancy series delivers yet again. You simply can’t go wrong buying a game with the Clancy name on it.
The graphics and audio are among the best I’ve come across on the Xbox. You can really feel the action [...]
Loser
January 15, 2005 – 12:22 am
Over my last 13,000 hands, I’ve lost a total of $1.47. I’ve been playing horrible poker. It’s time for some heavy reading and a review of my play.
BIGGGG Bad Beat Jackpot
January 14, 2005 – 6:03 pm
If you aren’t playing on Party Poker right now, what the hell are you thinking? The bad beat jackpot is almost at $700,000! Yes, that’s nearly 3/4 of a million!
Rain Or Snow
January 14, 2005 – 12:15 am
You can’t help but love/hate Michigan weather. This morning I woke up to 50+ degree weather. It had been raining for over 24 hours straight, so all of our snow had disappeared, but there was standing water everywhere. This afternoon, the rain turned to snow. Very wet snow. This snow mixed with the water and [...]
Mac mini
January 12, 2005 – 9:34 pm
At $500, I think it’s time to start thinking about trying a Mac mini. People have been ranting and raving to me for the last year or two that I need a Mac. At this price for such a tiny little thing, I don’t know if I could pass it up. Although I think the [...]
No Pot
January 12, 2005 – 1:19 am
I just played a pot limit hold’em game for over 2 hours and thought it was no limit the whole time. I kept wondering why I’d try to raise it up to $2 and my bet would only come out $1.75. Just goes to show I should stay away from the tables with a word [...]
Rollin' Down the River
January 12, 2005 – 12:53 am
I hit my 3rd straight flush (one was royal) in the last month tonight. All of them have come in on the river.
#57
January 10, 2005 – 8:45 pm
I hadn’t done a Google serch for Nick in quite some time, but for some reason I decided to just now. Previously I’d looked as far as like #250 and still hadn’t found MtDewVirus listed. Well, today I didn’t have to look an further than page 6 of the results. There I sit at #57! [...]
Tilt
January 10, 2005 – 7:42 pm
…in the high stakes game of TILT, the most costly bet will be on the future…
TILT
I saw a Google Ad on one of my sites today for ESPN’s new poker show and thought I’d check it out. It looks entertaining, so I’ll be tuning in to watch. I need a regular show to watch each [...]
