For those that know me, know the only game I love more than poker is baseball. I've been fortunate to identify a team in LA, but still told my team I'd travel to national tournaments with them. This one was in Birmingham, a new tourney.
We were to play Friday night however the rains came. That [...]

Life back in Atlanta….
Posted in Life in "LA", Uncategorized on April 21, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
So I traveled back to the east coast for a week….and it's almost time to head back to the west coast. I went to NY for my nephew's baptism and then to Atlanta to work the week away. I missed Atlanta during my seven weeks away. A lot has changed….the leaves have come in, the [...]

Tornados versus earthquakes, lol. So from what I hear there were pretty fun tornados and pollen in Atlanta. Fortunately I was never affected by the pollen, other than needing to wash my black cars, but never did anyway. They don’t have pollen here in LA, just rain and clouds. Six weeks in the locals all [...]

Played an eight hour session at the famed Hustler Casino in Gardena, CA, continuing my tour or California Casinos. It is no where near what you'd expect when you first hear the name. It's just simply a card room. Just fine w/ me. First the food service is excellent and one of my favorite things [...]

Two days in Vegas did not produce quite the amount of playing I'd like. This was partially due to staying at the Ritz Carlton, which don't get me wrong…is beautiful. Problem is, it was 1/2 hour away at least. With Mindy at her conference, this did not help for me to play….when I wanted to [...]
Venetian Poker Room – a quick review
Posted in Poker, Uncategorized on April 7, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Was in Vegas for Mindy's conference…ok, so I was freeloading. I wound up playing a session over at the new Venetian poker room on Wednesday. Was interesting to think that just two years ago, there was no poker room at Caesars, MGM, Alladin, Harrah, Rio, to name a few and now virtually all of the [...]
First large tournament – 34th place

Besides my and Mank's $300NL tourney back in February, I hadn't played in more than a $55NL tourney. So this was to be my first. The event was the $300+$40 No-Limit even at the Hollywood Park Casino – as part of the Sport of Kings Tournament. This was event number four of nine and one [...]
