I really enjoyed Ocean’s Eleven when it came out and thought Ocean’s Twelve was good too. So when I saw Ocean’s 13 was next in line I knew I’d have to see it.
Went last night with Tom because it was too damn hot to do anything else around the house or outside. We both enjoyed [...]

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 [...]

Just in case you wanted to know which Super Bowl squares are the “best” to have, here’s a list of how frequently scores have appeared in recent years.
Amarillo Slim In A World Full Of Fat People
September 8, 2004 – 5:06 pm
What a great read! The book is broken down into twelve chapters, each having their own theme. Then each chapter is broken down into a series of what are really short stories about Amarillo Slim (Thomas Austin Preston Jr.) and his adventures.
You get to learn about Slim’s pool skills, how he started playing poker, and [...]

An all new meaning of “convenience store.” 7-Eleven gives lottery results on their site.
Kentucky Derby
April 30, 2004 – 2:43 pm
My friend Casey and Hater headed down to Kentucky for Saturday’s 130th running of the Derby. How awesome would that be to attend? I gave Casey a ten spot to put on Lion Heart to Show. What that means is that the horse needs to finish in the top 3 and I’ll win money (the [...]
A Winning Night
April 11, 2004 – 1:04 am
Mom and I went up to the Kewadin Casino in St. Ignace for the night. We got there around 3:30, but the poker room didn’t open until 4:00, so I had a seat at the bar to watch the Red Wings and have a beer. After awhile I finally decided to check out the poker [...]
Lotto Theory
April 1, 2004 – 2:47 pm
I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t like to have more money. Money, of course, isn’t the solution to life’s problems, but it sure does make living easier. It’s the reason people buy lottery tickets; for that chance at millions of dollars. Not even needs the money of course, but I’m talking about the average person, [...]
Ocean's Eleven
March 4, 2004 – 3:05 pm
I watched this movie yesterday and forgot to write a review. I’ve seen the movie once or twice in the theater and countless other times on DVD, so that alone should tell you I think it’s a great movie.
What more could you ask for? Eleven guys (all with different talents) team up to rob a [...]
Poker Skill Or Just Luck?
March 2, 2004 – 8:10 pm
I had a very interesting conversation today at work about poker. There are so many people out there that suggest or truly believe that there isn’t any skill involved in poker…just dumb luck. I invite everyone who believes this to come play a fews sessions of poker at my house, and we’ll see how much [...]
Take A Chance
February 20, 2004 – 8:46 am
The Mega Millions jackpot is estimated at $222 million. Wow! WIOG, a local radio station, is running a group lottery ticket, so I stopped by on my way to work and put in $1. They already had collected over $750 at around 8:15 this morning. I also stopped at 7-Eleven and bought my own [...]
Super Bowl XXXVIII
February 1, 2004 – 12:02 pm
The Super Bowl is today, but I’m not all that thrilled about it. I’m not a fan of the teams, but I don’t hate them either. I would have liked to see Payton Manning and the Colts make it to the big show, but the cold New England weather did them in against the Patriots. [...]
