I just closed on my refinance last night.  Apparently, the settlement companies send notaries to your house these days.  I had no clue.  My previous three settlements, I had to go to the settlement office to get things done.  Pretty cool, nonetheless.  The whole process took less than 20 minutes.  I probably signed my life [...]

So, Jose Canseco fought Hong Man Choi this morning in Dream 9. Dream 9 is the Japanese MMA promotions company supposedly “competing” with the UFC. Watch the video and judge Jose for yourself. Of course, he wasn’t doing it just for the money…noooo way…what a show. Here’s Mr. T singing Take Me Out To the [...]

Failed Bluff.

May 24th, 2009

Dagger. I’ve been coasting along in AC playing $2/$5 NL since Friday. Up $1,131 on Friday and +$592 and -$182 in yesterday’s two morning sessions, then I get back on the $2/$5 NL table around 4pm. I get limp-reraiser coming over the top of my $25 raise making it $125. I push with AK offsuit [...]

I missed JPO6, but I’m up here in AC now.  Gonna stay here until Sunday at minimum.  I might stay longer, depending on how much fun I’m having.  I wasn’t even going to come, but I was watching Poker After Dark, the cash game, this morning and decided that I wanted to 3-bet someone, so [...]

Second Nuts.

Not sure if I should’ve folded this hand. His VPIP was 20. I’m thinking that he either flopped a set or had AK. I could’ve just called the turn raise and folded to a push on the river, but I think folding was the best option. Better safe than sorry. http://www.pokerhand.org/?4261872

I was playing golf with a buddy this weekend.  I think his official handicap is like 28.8 or something like that.  His swing is horrible.  All arms.  He’s been playing with us for a few years now and it’s always been the same for him.   I feel for him because watching him play makes ME [...]

I think I’m gonna have to get this on May 19th: It’s gotten some pretty good reviews already.  I doubt that I’ll play it much, but who knows. So, my online poker has taken a turn for the worse. Tell me if you think I’m wrong, but this chart looks eerily similar to all of [...]

I found this french fry under my car seat the other day: I’m thinking about eating it.  What do you think?  It could be fun.  It could be the best french fry that I’ve ever eaten?  I mean, it could be. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, right? How about them caps last night?  [...]

Defnitely tilted a little bit last night, starting with this hand: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4206054 It was my own fault.  I don’t do well when someone reraises me big, especially when I 3-bet the flop.  I don’t fault the dude for calling me with 3-4 suited knowing that I will push if he hits. So, this holdem manager [...]

Pretty sick hand: I’ve made some sick calls like this before, but not for $133k.  Usually, when players take this long to call, they’re bluffing.  The thing about that hand is that Durrrr knew that Safai didn’t have it him to check a monster on the river.  If I were Safai, I wouldn’t have checked [...]

Clonie Gowen’s Full Tilt Poker lawsuit was dismissed: Gowen Lawsuit Against Full Tilt Dismissed No doubt that they probably made a deal.  No doubt that there was nothing written on paper (i.e. no contract).  No doubt that Clonie just got scammed for $40 million+.  That’s a shame.  Maybe Joan Rivers has a little bit of [...]

It’s raining here in DC.  Sucks balls.  Been raining for what seems like an entire week.  No golf. The shorts are getting pummeled today.  Good thing I got out of everything last week.  I could be down another couple of Gs if I hadn’t gotten out.  I should’ve went long, but I didn’t. Look at [...]

Looks like Minnesota sent out an order to it’s ISPs to ban customers from accessing 200 online gambling sites. Minnesota Department of Public Safety and the Alcohol Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) For some stupid reason, PartyCasino.com is on the list, but PokerStars.com is not.  Party doesn’t even allow US customers and Poker Stars does.  How [...]
