This is embarrassing

Date: Tue, Jun 10, 2008 Internet Tournament

In keeping with my recent tradition of posting old emails, I’ll put a few more out there. I feel really stupid looking back on these, but when I was just getting started, I was just trying to make things happen and this is the kind of stuff that you’ve gotta do. So way back in [...]

Congrats sub

Date: Sun, Jun 8, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’m back in Costa Rica after a really long travel day on Friday. To answer ChieftanMew’s comment question from the previous post, I stayed at a hotel called the Sutton Place right in downtown Vancouver. It was a very nice place and if I could ever visit Vancouver at a time when it [...]

Seattle and Vancouver

Date: Tue, Jun 3, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’m currently in the middle of a week-long trip to Seattle and Vancouver. The trip has a business purpose behind it, but it’s been a ton of fun. A business partner of mine lives in Seattle and he took us around to a bunch of really fun things. From a bunch of [...]

In a short period of time, Ultimate Bet will release a statement regarding the rumored cheating scandal.

Jailbait Gallery

Date: Wed, May 28, 2008 Internet Tournament

When doing SEO on a website, once of your jobs is to figure out where you rank for certain keywords, which ones are potentially valuable and figure out strategies to get those mediocre keywords to rank higher in Google. For instance, let’s say PocketFives ranked 13th for “poker forum” when you typed that into [...]

Victory is mine.

Date: Thu, May 22, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’m on a trip with some poker affiliates, one of them being Nick from CardsChat. He’s a 19 y/o SEO genius/baller, but he didn’t believe me when I said that UB.com was registered in 1986 according to the whois database. Despite my insistence that I had looked up the domain in the previous [...]

Eric visiting Costa Rica

Date: Mon, May 19, 2008 Internet Tournament

As I’ve mentioned previously, my friend Eric from thepokerfilm is visiting me in Costa Rica for 10 days.  He got here a few days ago and we’ve been taking it pretty easy.  Mostly just playing pool, hanging out and going out to eat.  In a few days, we’re going on a three day trip to [...]

Start of thepokerdb

Date: Tue, May 13, 2008 Internet Tournament

I have never published this anywhere else, but I figured this is as good a place as any.  There’s one person who no one in the poker world has heard of, but actually had a brief but pivotal role in the creation of thepokerdb.  His name is Richard Reich and he registered in Feb of [...]

ActionJeff auditions for American Idol

Date: Sat, May 10, 2008 Internet Tournament

[YouTube video used to be here…] Possibly the best video in the history of YouTube? Adam Junglen took this video earlier today… I promptly ordered that he go to an electronics store and buy a card reader so he could unload it onto his computer and put it on YouTube. Well worth it, right? UPDATE: Jeff made Adam delete [...]

Return of the picture post

Date: Sat, May 10, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’ve been a little unhappy with the blog lately. Since the “Website Success” posts that I made, I feel like it’s been a little boring around here — for me and almost certainly for you. I don’t blog just to blog, I do it because I like it and I (think) some people [...]

Ways into the WSOP

Date: Wed, May 7, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’m always intrigued by the ways that sites find to get people in the WSOP.  It’s probably the only live tournament where online poker sites want players to win seats as badly as the players want to win those seats.  That year-round exposure on ESPN is worth millions to the sites, so obviously the more [...]

Poker Forum Traffic etc

Date: Tue, Apr 29, 2008 Internet Tournament

I have a couple of things to talk about… First, I put up a new site. It’s called Poker Forum Traffic. The site tracks and ranks the biggest poker forums online using the “posts per day” criteria. The site is literally brand new — 24 hours ago I was still doing testing and [...]

Do you smoke?

Date: Tue, Apr 22, 2008 Internet Tournament

I hate to use shock images, but this guy asked for people to see this picture of him. http://www.flickr.com/photos/myfotopage/2424624202/ There are very few things I tell people not to do. I don’t care if gays marry. I have my feelings on things like abortion, but I’d never tell someone what they should do in their [...]
