Non Poker Tracker Sites
June 30, 2005 – 1:15 pm
Over the past few weeks I’ve been playing poker on sites that are not supported by Poker Tracker. I think it’s helping my game. Instead of 4-tabling at the Party sites I’m sticking to one or two tables. I’m paying a lot more attention and having more fun. That’s what playing poker is all about…well, [...]
Slash or Dash?
June 30, 2005 – 8:46 am
Are you a slash (6/30/05) or dash (6-30-05) person? I’m a slasher.

I’m working on a friends computer right now and the thing doesn’t even have a network card. I can’t remember the last time I saw a computer with only a modem. What did I get myself into?

Bringing Down the House
June 28, 2005 – 11:05 pm
Bringing Down the House is the best book related to gambling I’ve ever read. Read my review at MtDewVirus.
Review: Bringing Down the House
June 28, 2005 – 11:03 pm
After reading the back cover of this book I knew I had to read it. Bringing Down the House is the story of how M.I.T. students beat the house. They took Las Vegas and other casinos around the country for millions of dollars.
The book is one of the best I’ve ever read. It was one [...]
Review: Life Aquatic
June 28, 2005 – 4:11 pm
If you are looking for a movie to put you to sleep, Life Aquatic is that movie. This might be the worst movie (except for maybe AI) I’ve ever watched. It’s that bad!
Not sure what to say about the movie except that I lost 2 hours of my life watching it. The movie doesn’t make [...]
Review: Poker Face
June 28, 2005 – 4:11 pm
Katy Lederer writes about growing up as the younger sister to Howard Lederer and Annie Duke. Poker Face is her true story among the gamblers. The writing is fresh and the content kept me reading.
If you’d like a unique behind the scenes story about some poker pros I suggest you read this book. You’ll find [...]
Pushing Chips
June 27, 2005 – 11:16 pm
Lately I’ve been messing around with some no-limit games here and there. Today I finally hit the jackpot. I was playing a .25/.50 table and built my $50 up to $318 before getting hungry for dinner (tacos). I think I’m starting to like this game. It sure beats the boringness I get from playing [...]
Review: National Treasure
June 27, 2005 – 6:58 pm
I watched National Treasure a few weeks ago at my friend Jere’s. I’ve wanted to see this movie for quite some time and I’m a little mad I waited so long. It’s a pretty good flick.
Nicolas Cage does a great job in a movie that reminded me a lot of The Da Vinci Code. Cage’s [...]
Review: Zen and the Art of Poker
June 27, 2005 – 6:58 pm
This book is good for bathroom material. It’s broken down into small sections so you can easily read a few pages here and there. Zen and the Art of Poker is nothing more than a collection of quotes relating to Zen. The author attempts to relate everything back to poker, but it doesn’t feel right. [...]
Review: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
June 27, 2005 – 10:49 am
It’s been over a month since I saw Revenge of the Sith, so a review is long overdue. I might need to see the movie again to remember it!
Like most people, I was disappointed with Episodes I and II, so I was really looking forward to III. It didn’t disappoint me. I thought the movie [...]
Pros at the WSOP
June 27, 2005 – 10:37 am
Is it just me or are the professional poker players doing very well this year at the World Series of Poker? Johnny Chan won his 10th bracelet early this morning and I’ve recognized quite a few other top players making final tables. Mark Seif (twice), Todd Brunson, Barry Greenstein, T.J. Cloutier, Josh Arieh, Erik Seidel, [...]
Cushiony
June 26, 2005 – 11:25 pm
I forgot what it felt like to sit on a good chair. It’s nice and cushiony.
Door Scratch
June 26, 2005 – 11:18 pm
I found a nice scratch on my passenger door the other day. It looks like someone took a key to it. I’m not too happy about it either…
