The Chinese Government tilts me
Date: Sun, Aug 3, 2008 Internet Tournament
They don’t necessarily tilt me because of what they actually do on a day-to-day basis in non-Olympic times. I get their position — ie, they need to intimidate and control in order to make the population believe them. That’s how they roll… I get it. But stuff like this (IOC agrees to Internet blocking at the [...]

This is pretty scary… Forbes story about Calvin Ayre Here is a little bit that might scare some poker players: The U.S. government recently seized $24 million from bank accounts linked to Bodog, the giant, illegal-under-U.S.-law Internet gaming operation founded by Canadian tycoon Calvin Ayre. Federal filings make very clear that a serious criminal investigation of the Bodog enterprise [...]

Random life questions
Date: Tue, Jul 29, 2008 Internet Tournament
This is what has been on my mind lately. Why do people speed up after they pull over into the right lane to let you go by in the left lane? Why do people get fake married to someone on facebook? I see tons of straight girls “marrying” other girls. Is it supposed to be funny or [...]

Blog Redesign
Date: Sun, Jul 27, 2008 Internet Tournament
I know there are always a ton of designers out there, so I might as well put this message out publicly… I’m going to switch my WordPress theme pretty soon. I’ve been using this one for awhile and I’d like to revamp a number of parts of my blog. I’m going to have a lot more [...]

Google updates on the way
Date: Fri, Jul 25, 2008 Internet Tournament
Yesterday afternoon Matt Cutts made the following short post: Hey folks, I wanted to let you know that new toolbar PageRank values should become visible over the next few days. I’m expecting that also in the next few days that we’ll be expiring some older penalties on websites. I don’t care too much about the PageRank values, [...]
Some of my old pictures re-added
Date: Sun, Jul 20, 2008 Internet Tournament
I’m gearing up for a major blog redesign and whatnot, so I went in search of my old blog pictures (I lost a bunch when I switched to WordPress a little over a year ago). I found most of them, although a few are still missing. Therefore, some classic old picture posts are now working [...]
Ultimate Bet Followup
Date: Thu, Jul 17, 2008 Internet Tournament
It’s been an interesting week. I’ve gone from being not involved at all to being heavily involved and it’s been a pretty crazy week on 2 plus 2. As you may know, I went on PokerRoad Big Poker Sundays to talk about the latest developments in the scandal. See my post here. I also just finished [...]
Developers
Date: Tue, Jul 15, 2008 Internet Tournament
Warning: No real content in this post Okay, I’m officially looking for web developers now. Here are a few bullet points: At least one who is competent in ASP.NET and one who is competent in PHP. So I’m looking for two people total, but cross-over skills are great too. I really need people who are willing [...]
oh snap 2p2
Date: Tue, Jul 15, 2008 Internet Tournament
I was wondering when they would do this… Sometime in the last hour, two plus two enabled vbSEO on their installation of vBulletin. I guess someone finally clued them in on how much of a search traffic jump they would get with good forum SEO. Get ready to see 2p2 URLs appearing at the top of tons [...]
Holy crap PokerStars
Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008 Internet Tournament
This is incredible… I guess that PokerStars’ strategy of shoving as many people as possible into a WSOP Main Event seat is paying off for them so far this year. They’re absoluting dominating the final 26 people, although I’m pretty sure the Peter Eastgate guy is actually Ladbrokes. Nonetheless, good luck to PokerStars in their quest [...]
