Don't Run Out

Review: Crash
September 30, 2005 – 10:22 am
Movies like Crash are what keep me watching different movies all the time. This is not your typical movie where good guys win over bad guys and we have a happy ending.
Crash is a modern day tale of morality. The entire movie is based on racism in the lives of people from different backgrounds and [...]
Up 10K

No poker played tonight, but I had to post because it was one year ago today that I started playing on Party Poker. It was also the day I started to keep track of my wins/losses on a daily basis. Over the last twelve months I’m about $10,600 ahead with $5,550 coming from poker cash [...]
Back to Basics
September 28, 2005 – 8:23 pm
It’s been a rough month poker-wise. Since August 28th I have 23 numbers recorded for my poker play. Each number represents play at one site for that day. Of those 23, only 7 were positive with none over $150. All the rest were negative with several over $200 in the hole. Those are some [...]
Steer Clear
September 28, 2005 – 12:46 am
I had to post this here in order to warn any poker sites out there that might run into this advertising site. It’s gam bling ads DOT com (remove the spaces). They run advertising auctions and the highest bidder gets the ad space. I noticed they were getting some good ad rates so I contacted [...]
Good Service
September 27, 2005 – 11:57 pm
When I go out to eat I expect good service from my waiter/waitress. You don’t have to be over the top, but I don’t want to feel neglected. I expect a fresh drink when my glass is full. Bring the check after we’re done eating or if we’re taking a really long time at least [...]
More Room For Poker
September 27, 2005 – 6:29 pm
Now I have more room for poker tables in my view. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I supposed it’ll help to be able to have email or a web page open on one monitor if I want to be able to see my tables at all times. Just [...]
Double Vision
September 27, 2005 – 6:27 pm
I’m in heaven. I have a dual display system at both work and home now. Talk about an increase in productivity!
Soaring Eagle
September 27, 2005 – 10:04 am
This weekend I headed over to CMU to party with some of my friends for one of their birthdays. I got pretty wasted on Friday, and on Saturday I decided to pay a visit to the Indians at the Soaring Eagle Casino. I arrived at the casino about 3:00 p.m. and headed straight [...]

Poker Chip Tricks sees one year go in the books. Two new tricks were also posted in order to celebrate. Check out Around the Clock and the Phil Ivey Stepup.
Launching NICKED Up
September 25, 2005 – 7:16 pm
I just launched NICKED Up, which will be a type of “home base” for the network of blogs that I run. For full details visit the first post at the new site, titled This is NICKED Up. I’ve closed comments on this post at MDV in order to keep all comments over there.
One-on-One
September 23, 2005 – 12:15 am
Tonight I played a total of 6 heads-up SNGs on Bodog, ranging from $5 to $30. I won 4 out of 6 and finished up $25 for the night. I’m going to concentrate on playing a lot of these for awhile as well as other SNGs and MTTs. I need a change from the limit [...]
Review: Catch Me If You Can
September 22, 2005 – 10:54 pm
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, but way back when I first saw previews and clips for Catch Me If You Can, I was interested to see the movie.
I thought the movie was a good fit for Leonardo and I actually enjoyed his acting. The role was a [...]
Another View
September 22, 2005 – 7:01 pm
I just ordered another 17 inch flat panel monitor. After getting a dual display setup at work I just couldn’t live without it at home anymore. I did a few quick searches and found the exact same monitor I bought almost a year ago. This year it’s only $70 in rebates, but the price comes [...]
Mouse Twitch
September 21, 2005 – 10:56 pm
I just figured out the mouse problem I had awhile back. It’s my mousepad. Right now if I try to use the mouse on the mousepad, it will barely move, but if I place the mouse on another surface it doesn’t have a problem. Doesn’t make much sense because most of the time it works [...]
Absent
September 21, 2005 – 10:52 pm
I was absent from the Poker Blogger tournament last night for three reasons:
I didn’t feel like playing poker.
I had TV shows to watch.
I didn’t want to sign up for Titan Poker just to be able to play.
Why do the blogger events move to a new site each time?
