I hope everyone has a fun New Year’s Eve and a happy conclusion to your holiday season. For those of you headed to the Bahamas, I’ll see you in a few days. Also, good luck to UGA in their Jan 1st bowl game against Hawaii.
Last night was interesting. First, I can’t say the name of the person who I’m writing about for various reasons, so we’re going to call him Sean. Anyway, I am friends with Sean from way back when and we’ve become better friends over the last few years. Since I live in Atlanta and Sean lives in [...]
A few months ago Gary “GB2005″ Bogdanski mentioned to me that he could hook me up with a sweet night at the Nets if I was going to be in the area at all (he’s their equipment manager). I knew I’d be home in the northeast over the holidays, so I looked at a calendar [...]
Bear in mind that I watch Sportscenter daily, I have done so for a long-time and I love the show. It’s on in the background all day. But… there’s a problem with Sportscenter that bugs me like crazy. What’s that? The absolutely RETARDED video game matchups that they put on there. I was watching [...]
This has really gone better than I could have ever hoped for. Literally every day when I check google analytics, thepokerdb’s search traffic (well, actually BLUFF) has gone up. And we haven’t even done some of the most important things! We know that we have a really long way to go with it and that [...]
I’m really getting upset at my hosting provider. I’ve been using the same dedicated server host since the spring of 2006 when I initially went there to host thepokerdb.com. But I asked them to do something REALLY simple last week and they’ve screwed it up like 8 times since then. First they [...]
I was playing pool last night with some friends of mine at a place called Twain’s in Decatur, GA and this happened, which I hadn’t seen before: This is an iPhone pic so it’s a little hard to see, but the balls are basically pinned against each other. The 14 isn’t even really on the table, [...]

I have to give Dell a lot of credit. They’ve been terrific in their management of my issue with my latest computer order. I made a post about it here. The basic story is that I ordered a computer, but didn’t realize until it had already shipped that it was going to [...]
Here’s a bonus clip from thepokerfilm that we just released. It features yellowsub86 and his friends playing 200/400 PLO on FTP after a night out in downtown Athens, GA.
That’s according to CNN. I’ve never seen “dreary” as a weather description, but it does seem accurate. I have a good interview with Jon “PearlJammer” Turner ready to post, but I’m waiting on his approval first. I told him that I’d let him look through it, but it’s been a few days now because he’s doing [...]
Preface: I did this interview over at BLUFF. It’s on BLUFF Mag’s website here. I’m x-posting it so people who don’t read the homepage of BLUFF Magazine will still see it. Kenny Rap is a professional online tournament player. Kenny recently became the #1 ranked online player in the BLUFF Online Poker [...]
A followup to Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Things that I am very confident in and I have proof for (although I cannot reveal the evidence for all of the points): 1. MCBILL did not cheat when he won the $100K Absolute Poker Dream Package When I was in Costa Rica, I did a few [...]
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is something that I never thought about much before my trip to Costa Rica. The guys at PSO and P5s really opened my eyes to the power of google as a traffic generation tool. Of course, I’d *known* that google could provide significant traffic, it was just never in the forefront [...]
