Do your run poker tournaments at home? Do you also play in these tournaments? If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to both questions, you know how much work it can be to keep track of time, blinds, and everything else while still trying to concentrate on playing poker. The Poker Ace Portable Tournament Director (PTD) will make [...]

Super Bowl Weekend
February 7, 2006 – 1:11 pm
I played a little poker over the weekend. I also played a little poker about as bad as I could.
Before the Super Bowl we ran a couple of mini $5 tournaments. In the first tournament I was the first one out of 4 people. It only took two hands. The second time around I was [...]
Poker Podcasts
November 1, 2005 – 9:15 pm
On my rides to and from work each day I’ve been listening to poker podcasts. Listening to poker discussions keep my mind off the traffic. In the mornings the poker talk gets my mind thinking and after work it helps to relax me after a long day.
My favorite poker podcast without a doubt is Card [...]
Taking a Break
November 1, 2005 – 8:15 pm
Lately I have been taking a break from all types of poker, online, casino, everything. The only poker in my life as of now is the WSOP on ESPN. Even though I already know what happens and who makes it how far, I still need to watch and enjoy the plays being made. [...]
2 for 2
March 27, 2005 – 9:51 pm
I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. I enjoyed a few days in northern Michigan with my family. On two of those days I played in $5 tournaments with my brother and his friends. Each of the two tournaments had 7 players total. I had never finished in the money with these kids so [...]
Another Bubble Finish
March 13, 2005 – 8:03 pm
Yesterday I played a home tournament with my brother and his friends for a full table of ten players. I’ve played with about half of the guys before, but the other half were new faces.
I don’t remember a tournament where my cards have been as cold as in this one. As a result, I wasn’t [...]

On Monday and Tuesday, the Rogers City Poker Series (or that’s what I’m calling it at least) was held at my house. My brother Isaac and his buddies came up with a plan for 4 tournaments. Each player, of which we had 9, bought in for a total of $50. The top three places [...]
Bubble Boy

Ok…the recap from Friday afternoon’s home tournament is finally here. I know, I know, I’ve been slacking!
I helped my brother set up his poker table in the living room and brought in some chairs. The tournament was supposed to start at 2:00, but at 1:45 they were still calling people to play. We ended up [...]
Poker Holiday
November 26, 2004 – 1:02 pm
I’ve been able to play quite a bit online over the past couple of days, because there isn’t a whole lot else to do around here. I made over $400 yesterday in a couple of hours of play. In fact, I played for about a half hour yesterday morning and made nearly $200 playing two [...]
Me and Poker: A History
October 22, 2004 – 11:59 am
