I’m heartened to see I got a few comments on my last post.  Thanks to all who left comments or read my post, I’ll address the questions raised at some point (even the hooker one, even though I’ve never knowingly patronized one so I guess my opinion isn’t worth a whole lot in that regard).  [...]

I’m back from the WSOP so I figured I’d write up a trip report.  No pictures though because my digital camera, which is now 4 years old, has some problems and my phone’s camera kinda sucks too.  Time to upgrade.
I got in on the evening of June 8th and promptly got lost getting to my [...]

I’ve said before that I tend to have two interests, and if one of those isn’t poker I don’t play at all.  It’s helped my poker laziness that I finally got my first money transfer from Apple for iPhone crap (for March).  It’s not quite at crunch time money-wise where I will need to get [...]

One of the mailing lists I’m on had a message the other day about those late night TV ads talking about companies that will give you a computer with no credit and monthly plans.  The conversation then turned to computer security and I started giving out some advice on security.  I realized I’ve basically regurgitated [...]

Obligatory title for future rungood purposes, obviously.
I bought some computer stuff and a Nintendo DS this month, so poker playing is on the back burner for a while. So, I’m mostly just putting in points to keep iron man on FTP (I don’t want to spend medals on buying a month). After the [...]

I played a little poker early on this month.  Got tantalizingly close to big scores in a bunch of MTTs (a couple final 2 tables in the stars 100r, final 3 tables in the sunday brawl, final 2 tables in the ftp sunday 150r, getting fairly deep in a couple SCOOP events) but didn’t really [...]

Because I wouldn’t dream of letting Jason and his, you know, massive success get all of the badbeatscrew.com readership, I feel compelled to post.
When March started, I was playing 1/2 and often had my entire FTP roll of about 3k spread across 12 tables.  At some point during this month of playing about 85k hands [...]

March is wrapping up and it’s been another fairly lazy month at least on the playing front. Thanks to about 10k in tournament cashes this is going to be my best month ever though. While I wasn’t sick this month I did have a lot of other stuff going on like watching too [...]

I do, apparently.  Overall, I was unimpressed with this movie.  The things it did well (the concept of some dude essentially becoming a god, some of the less-contrived elements of the storyline, the alternative history complete with Tricky Dick, the looming threat of nuclear war, and ironic nostalgia for the “good ol’ days” of the [...]

JC’s somewhat epic post got me thinking a lot recently.  I suppose it’s not that unusual, but I definitely share the sporadic, dedicated motivation that he talked about.  Poker hasn’t popped back up into the primary role in quite some time, but it is definitely about time for that to happen.  I was getting back [...]
