I played one hand of the Two 1/4M on PokerStars today. I looked down to A-A on the first hand. It’s a bad sign. You can almost feel the air around you turn to ice and start pressing in on your chest…you ain’t gonna win this hand. I didn’t. I raised it to 320, got two callers; flop 8d-kh-3h. I bet 740, got raised all-in by the Jh-10H…yah, I’m a fish. I called. No waiting, 8h on the turn and 2c on the river left this little fishie flapping on the rail. Fuck em, that’s all I have to say about it! On to other things. Continue reading CRIPES!

Stopping by the Rio
As I got ready to head out of Las Vegas on Thursday, I stopped by the old digs and picked up Riot for a few days. It created a small dilemma. I had also planned to pick up my media pass for the WSOP and I knew I could take Riot down the hallways of the world’s biggest poker extravaganza but I didn’t want to trip into the media area with him to pick up the pass. I called Jennifer Newell and she agreed to stay with Riot for five minutes in the hallway while I got the pass. Continue reading Stopping by the Rio

The WSOP and Vegas on the horizon
Tomorrow it’s up and on the road. The Rio is going to be one of my stops as I check in for my media pass, but it’s not my primary reason for going to Vegas. I’m checking into a hotel tomorrow night so I can make the 7 a.m. chair at the dentist’s office on Wednesday. If all goes well, I should be back at my hotel by 3 or 4 p.m. Maybe even sooner.

Rain, Please Come Back
My blogging team member, Dr. Dad AKA Clearspine, wants the rain to leave. I want her to come back. This little angel face turned one year old yesterday and cut her first tooth all in the same day. She’s a beauty!

Tomorrow is…
yes it is a day. A day of beginning, the end of the week for some, the beginning of the week for others, a day of worship for some, a day of big Money Sundays for others and always a poker day for those who play online poker. It is also the biweekly PokerWorks 8 Game tourney, Let me add that I would really appreciate everyone showing up and getting in the game. I, however, cannot attend. I will be at the Las Vegas Airport picking up son #2 and family. I will think about all of you for a flash of a second as I go about the business of hanging out with my family. Continue reading Tomorrow is…
A Vegas day
Tuesday was a Vegas day. I had to go have a minor molar/acrylic build-up adjustment, pick the color of my final teeth, and get the overall as I wait through the next few weeks for the big day of all day dentistry…coming soon to a channel in my future. Continue reading A Vegas day
