OK here are some pics of the kitchen/living room area and my view from my place at Panorama Towers.  Not pictured: bedrooms or bathrooms. Forgive my hand being in the shot on the first two, oops.

WSOP trip report

July 12, 2009 | 4:42 am | Derk

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 [...]

monte carlo trip report

May 7, 2009 | 4:21 pm | JCarver

I haven’t really written too much in awhile.  As typical with me, my standard super hot/cold on ideas/activities has kind of taken me away from writing, but I’m getting back into it again and the overdue trip report for EPT Monte Carlo seems like a good place to start.
I haven’t really been doing too much [...]

$25k WPT Championship recap

April 24, 2009 | 1:14 am | steveodwyer

It’s been a while since I’ve made any sort of poker-related update with substantial content, so I figured I’d write up a quick trip report from the WPT Championship.
My day 1 table had some really tough competition but I had one of the best seats at the table so for me personally it wasn’t that [...]

a blog wholly about POKER what?!?!?

March 23, 2009 | 5:44 am | JCarver

I haven’t forgotten that I have not one, but two “TO BE CONTINUED” posts below this one.  Well, this isn’t THE STUNNING CONCLUSION to either (but hopefully it won’t be a start of a new one), but I do have 3 rather long theory posts in various states of completion sitting waiting for me to [...]

Bahamas trip report

January 13, 2009 | 1:20 am | superfluousman

Because it’s been a while since I last wrote on this thing, there are a few things I’d like to write about.  Maybe I’ll just separate them into discrete blog entries so that I can hog much of the badbeatscrew.com front page.  I’ll start with some lighter material.
This year, I decided to go to the [...]

pca post-mortem

January 12, 2009 | 2:47 am | JCarver

I got back from Atlantis on Saturday afternoon. It was an extremely fun week or so spent amongst friends in a pretty awesome resort. It was my first time there, as I did Aussie Millions last year instead, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it’s a pretty sweet place and [...]

overheard in Memphis

January 2, 2009 | 4:34 am | steveodwyer

I’m currently in Memphis for the Liberty Bowl (GO PIRATES!). I was at Silky O’Sullivans tonight, a bar on Beale St that was packed with hundreds of ECU fans. As I was walking into the men’s room, I passed a male ECU fan in his mid-20’s holding court telling a story to his friends. All [...]

dueling MMA billboards in Times Square

December 31, 2008 | 5:14 pm | steveodwyer

I was in NYC yesterday with my mom and sister and we made the mistake of parking my rental car near Times Square and had to fight the insane crowds to get back to the West Side Highway so we could get to my mom’s cousin’s house in Brooklyn. While we were stuck in traffic [...]
