"Trip Report" I actually had a great time. I didn't play anything higher than 1/2 NLHE although I signed up for and even sat once for 2/5 but the game couldn't get going. I'd rather play with my friends anyway. We had four of us at the same table for awhile and that was more fun than playing with people hell bent on telling me bad beats and how I played the hand incorrectly. Speaking of which,

Impact I'm in rare form, so let me write this now. For those bloggers I respect and call friends, this is a post for you to read. I admit it. I used to look around and see what others were saying about me in the blogosphere. I'd get a kick out of those who thought I was God and I'd worry about those that saw through my blog to the real me. Who gives a shi*. A certain handful of bloggers still

Heading to Atlantic City I'm going up to Atlantic City to get some live poker action. We'll be staying at the Tropicana who's owner just lost his license and has been forced to sell...anybody got some money? we could all go in and buy it - probably a low price. It'll be worth using our bankrolls as we'll get plenty of comps. I bottled my stout yesterday - should be ready in 2-3 weeks. I still

Merry Christmas Well, I've begun playing again and I was red hot for awhile before giving some back. Poker is fun when you're winning and still miserable when taking beats. I've made a batch of India Pale Ale for the holidays. It is my first batch so I basically followed the directions as best I could. It tastes good, but I learned a few lessons and will make the next batch stronger. I just

A bit of good news for non-USA players. Pacific Poker is one of the oldest and loosest online poker sites around, but they've always been plagued by bad software and not so attractive promotions. They're improving though, especially in the promotions area. Along with a bigger deposit bonus and more reload offers, they're allowing a select number of poker portals do a beta test of sorts, for a

Poker Isn't Fair Well, I spent a LOT of time playing for the PCA this weekend and have nothing to show for it. I played a lot of STEPS tournaments but the biggest chances I had were the $650 satellite, the 10K FPP satellite and a step 6. I feel as though I got extremely unlucky all weekend. I won more than the average in the steps but when it counted, I just couldn't when my 80% hands, much less

Last day to win full package to PCA The deadline snuck up on me. I don't think I'll be trying after today as the trip package is a major reason I'm going. I have a $650 seat and a number of Steps tickets including a level 4 and level 5 so I'll be pushing today to see how it goes. Playing as much as I've played in the last couple days is a frustrating practice. The more you play, the more beats

Image Challenge First person to identify the casino in the comments wins $25 on Full Tilt Poker. One guess per post. The casino could be anywhere in the world. I will provide new pictures and hints each day until somebody guesses correctly.

Whats up boys and girls Since I've been back from Vegas (it was a blast), I've only played twice. The big news (for me) is that one of those nights was a live game at my brother's. It was a good group of folks that are just learning the game. It was good company and we watched a good football game while playing so it was a good time. No offense to the players as players, but here is a sample

In Vegas My wife and I are having a blast. We did the Hoover Dam / Grand Canyon trek yesterday. We rented our own car to have the freedom to do what we wanted when we wanted. It was a full day capped off by the Rio buffet (top of the line). We're sight-seeing, seeing shows (the "O" was good but not spectacular), eating at nice places (Bellagio's Jasmine is overrated) and generally enjoying

To the PCA I'll meet you all there! I love that Stars moved to the steps that I used to love playing on Party. It is very exciting for game nerds like me. This should get me playing a lot for awhile.

hockey, wine, cigar, summer night and a couple of river check raises Does life get any better than using one monitor to watch NHL hockey and the other monitor to play four tables of poker? Well, actually, yes. Add a Gumdale Cabernet and Shiraz mix (less than $10/bottle) and a nice cigar. Not done yet. Go out back and take advantage of the summer night. I'd add a Beck CD, but then you couldn't
