No matter how tempted you might be to join one of these…DON’T DO IT!!
I made the first mistake and didn’t realize it was a limit tournament. Talk about dragging out online poker play. I just busted in 48th place out of 664 after 7 hours of play! Seven fucking hours! It was $20+2 to enter [...]

I need some new workout music for my iPod nano. I like just about everything except country. Any suggestions?
Owned
October 25, 2005 – 10:25 pm
I got owned by Drizz in the first round of HUC2. In the best of three match I actually took the first game before the blinds went up. This while playing another heads-up that I got into by mistake. I slow played aces in the final hand and took down his top pair.
The next two [...]
No Recap Coming
October 25, 2005 – 8:38 pm
I’ve decided against doing a recap of the 2nd place finish because it’s already been 3 days. Recaps need to be typed up soon afterwards because the excitement and my memory is gone.
I remember making 3 mistakes throughout the tournament. The first I can’t remember for the life of me. The second mistake was an [...]
Another Check Mark
October 25, 2005 – 8:22 pm
Speaking of getting things done…I just got back from working out. That’s been on my to-do list before I even had to-do lists. Spent some quality time on the bike and step machine, but had to get off the stepper during my cool down because my hammy wasn’t feeling too good. I think I might [...]
Gettings Things Done
October 25, 2005 – 5:19 pm
Post frequency has been low at MDV recently because I’ve been getting a lot done, and no I don’t need a book to teach me how to be productive with my time. I use my own system. The biggest helper in this whole process has been Basecamp, an online project and task management service.
I’m using [...]
In Focus
October 24, 2005 – 10:52 pm
I just finished browsing through some of my Poker Tracker stats for cash games and tournaments. It was an eye opener to say the least. What I had previously thought were my strengths are actually my weaknesses and vice versa. Once I can go through the data a bit more I’m going to write up [...]
Tiger and Vijay Leave Funai Classic Early
October 22, 2005 – 10:22 am
The top two golfers in the world, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh, failed to make the cut this weekend in the Funai Classic at Disney. During his ten seasons on the PGA Tour Tiger has only missed a total of three cuts, but two of those have been this year. Since Singh also missed the [...]
It Feels Good…
October 22, 2005 – 5:58 am

Face it guys, your shit does stink. Not like roses either, so who are you fooling if you buy one of those cans of air freshener?
I have a cheap, but effective replacement for air fresheners. Actually it’s a trick from my friend Casey. Buy a box of wooden matches to keep in the bathroom. After [...]

Wilson brings us the r7 of putters with their Kirk Currie series of putters. The KC4 putter pictured here is not one of the best looking clubs on the market, but it is often used by Padraig Harrington, so it must work.
Each putter in the Kirk Currie series is customizable with a set of weights, [...]
How Golf Balls Are Made
October 20, 2005 – 9:18 am
Ever wonder how a golf ball is made? How do they create the dimples? How are the different layers of a golf ball put together? I’ve asked myself these questions many times.
Top Flite has an excellent interactive video presentation titled Golf Ball Construction, which shows the process used to make their golf balls. I thought [...]

Blogger Heads Up
October 18, 2005 – 10:42 pm
I’ll be playing HU2 with a bunch of other poker bloggers. I’ve had good success when I’ve played heads up matches on a few different sites, so I’m looking forward to testing my HU game against better opponents.
