Read this column about Chad Johnson and my mighty Bengals. From Paul Daugherty at the Cincinnati Enquirer. Oh my. ------- Doc: There are no winners Noted national sports scribe Chad Johnson has informed a breathless nation that his return to the Cincinnati Bengals is imminent. In the latest edition of a national magazine, Johnson declares “I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid,’’ though that

It's 10.30 and I just got home from a long day/evening of work. So alas, I'm too burnt out to uber it up. Hopefully tomorrow. Some friends are pinging me, telling me that Obama has clinched but I don't buy it. I'm gonna stay the cynic and wait for things to shake out. Moving quickly along to poker, there's a ton of WSOP news out there, but frankly and hopefully without offending any of my

"Caro said it best when he said that the best poker players play in the rooms where the best players don't play. I've never seen a post on two plus two that suggests that posters on two plus two would recognize a good game if someone shoved it up their ass and twisted it." Gary Carson What can I say, I'm a Mike Caro disciple. Hell, I wanted to write another mini-uber last night, but have no
WSOP Madness Begins
Date: Fri, May 30, 2008
Geepers, it seems like every freaking poker blogger out there has a gig writing/reporting at the WSOP these days. We've sure came a long way. Hell, I can't even hardly even keep up with who is writing where this year. And so the 2008 WSOP begins in about 30 minutes. I'm still having that inner debate over whether to make a trip or two to play a few events this summer. It would be an easier

Sweet, sweet Monday morning. A friend told me about the FAA banning their pilots from taking Chantix, the drug I'm currently taking to attempt to quit smoking. Wow, that's pretty uncool. And then I saw this article from the LA Times: Drug taken to stop smoking is linked to traffic mishaps. Good grief. I guess good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Fine. I'm on Twitter. You can follow me here. TGIF. Someone sent me this video of these colorful cloud phenomenons, apparently showing up 30 minutes before the quake in China. Some fark commenter explained that the seismic activity polarized water crystals which caused them to align and cause these prisms of light. Lord, I just realized it's a three day weekend. Trust me when I say I'm

"85% of the book was totally my thoughts. The majority of the criticisms of the book involve the other 15%." David Sklansky, replying to critics of 'No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice' Nothing quite like throwing your co-author under the bus, eh? Sigh. I'm in a pretty shitty mood here tonight, but I think writing up some random poker snippets will help take my mind off real-life for a bit,

TGIF. Sorry for the lack of posts. My mom had a heart attack earlier this week and I'm just now back and catching up. She's home and OK now but the whole family is shook up. I'll be back in a day or two with pokery goodness.

"If I had to guess, I would say about 50 percent of the “name poker pros” you see on television on a regular basis have a negative net worth. Frightening, I know." Phil Gordon It's still easier to believe in the illusion of poker than the bitter reality. We can all be the next Moneymaker or online baller if we just focus hard enough and the cards break our way. . . just one time. It all about

A friend of mine gave me the book American Shaolin. It's a story of a guy growing up a ninety-eight pound weakling tormented by bullies in the schoolyards of Kansas, dreaming of one day traveling to the Shaolin Yemple in China to become the toughest fighter in the world, like Caine in his favorite 70's TV series, Kung Fu. As a college kid, his self-doubt now enumerated in a list entitled "

TGIF. You know, I'm a pretty jaded, cynical bastard. But this headline/story threw me for a loop: 3 accused of using corpse head to smoke pot Yikes. Anyway, I'm fully off the politics (OK, I may dance on Hillary's grave once she is finally defeated) and 100% back on the gambling and tasty poker goodness. Expect much more henceforth.

Has it really been three days since I returned? Recovery took a long time. But it was just what I needed. An epic trip. And to NYC of all places. The City That Never Sleeps. The Big Apple. Gotham. Understatements, every one of them. Having Dr. Pauly, Joaquin and Derek as tour guides? Priceless. Per always, I can't do a trip report like this justice, so I won't even try. Besides, Pauly
