I’m playing in this city golf league this year.  It’s a bunch of older guys who work for the city who play golf once a month, then have a “championship” at the end of the season.  Everybody puts in $50 before the season starts, then the cash is divy’d up after each round and the [...]

These are getting more and more common: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4168435 Honestly, I don’t really get it, but it’s supposedly a strategy.  I imagine that he probably had AK??  I have no clue.

Been playing a little online poker because I am messing around with this Holdem Manager software.  A couple of cooler hands: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4168157 I got it all in with my opponent drawing to two outs.  Not much more that I can do there. Here’s another hand with the same opponent and he’s got Aces to my [...]

Umm…dude…this is F’d up: DUDE. I’m glad that his opponent took the high road and didn’t just pummel him.  It looked like he was swinging, but it didn’t look like he was swinging for the fences, which he could’ve done.  No kicks.  Nice guy.  Kyle Maynard ended up losing in a unanimous decision.  He really [...]

Just installed this program called  Hold’em Manager.  We’ve ordered a ton of copies of the program from the dude who owns it and he hooked me up with a license. I don’t play online poker that much anymore, but this program is actually pretty damn cool.  It really shows you how much money is wasted [...]

The Freddie Mac CFO hanged himself yesterday morning.  I’ve always been curious as to how you hang yourself.  I mean, I’ve kinda seen that Saddam Hussein hanging where his neck was snapped…I think, but when you hang yourself, do you just let yourself run out of air?  Seriously, if I was stupid enough to tie [...]

So, I’ve got an indoor soccer game tonight at 7pm. The normal route that I take is pretty much a straight shot to the indoor sportsplex: Unfortunately, it’s HOV-3 from 4-6:30pm going westbound.  The red dots mark the route.  Apparently, I can drive on that stretch of road so long as I’m going to the [...]

Today was a very strange day. I went to play some golf at Pohick around noon.  I got there about an hour early to hit some balls, but they told me that the range was closed due to all of the rain from yesterday.  I opted to drive out to get some lunch since their [...]

1st Technology/Bodog Patent Dispute Resolved

April 20th, 2009

Looks like Bodog.com is back in business.  It still redirects you to bodoglife.com, but before, it just gave you a “page cannot be displayed” error. http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment/20090420/LA0161920042009-1.html I’ve been reading that their payouts have been relatively fast (3 days), as well.  Maybe Bodog really is back?  The best thing about promoting Bodog  is that they are [...]

Bought 100 shares of GLD at $86.33 late last week some time. Bought 400 shares of FXP at $21.27 today. Not really sure why, except I think the market is going down. Still holding 150 shares of SRS from $40.69. I’m still not really sure what to do with my money here for the longer [...]

David Grey Talks Andy Beal vs. The Corporation

April 18th, 2009

There was a book written on the “richest poker game of all time” called The Professor, T’he Banker, and the Suicide King.  The “banker” was Texas billionaire Andy Beal: One day, he decided to take on the biggest poker pros at the Bellagio playing in stakes as high as $100,000/$200,000 limit holdem.  Since none of [...]

Refinanced my condo yesterday.  They tell me that it’ll be a maximum of 60 days for closing, but I locked in at a rate already.  Here were my options via countrywide: 4.375% + 2.25 points 4.500% + 2 points 4.625% 4.750% 4.875% + .75 points At 4.375%, I’d save roughly $323/month, which would bring my [...]
