Played in the Bike's Annual American Poker Tournament earlier this evening. It was a $225+$30 bounty tourney where everyone you knock out you get $25. I played the first four rounds without having any real hands and stealing the blinds a few times. But with the blinds now $100/200 and having about $2,200, the short [...]

Memorial Day in Los Angeles…
Posted in Life in "LA" on May 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Normally Memorial Day I'm used to playing baseball in Atlanta. This year I opted not to play in Las Vegas where a national tournament is held every year to spend some quality time with the family. We'll likely explore Los Angeles, maybe head to the beach, maybe picnic. R&R with the family. What are you [...]

So, I had a conference this week in Vegas and opted to get in early to play the NL500 at Caesars. I'd not played in that large an event having played in some NL300 events. So I got into Vegas at 8:30 am and had registered by 9:30am for the 10am tourney. There were 89 [...]

We had a solid machine of ball players, that fielded well, hit well and we had a ton of pitching. So much of each that it warranted leaving behind a lot of playing [...]

I've heard stories,…I've always said, 'whew lucky, never really been me'…but then it happened. The scenario – Hustler Club – Friday night. I'd been playing most of the evening getting crap for cards but just waiting and waiting….and waiting. And after a six hour session, grinded my way to about a $150 loss. Certainly not [...]
Hollywood Park – Session two…

I ordinarily wouldn't play at Hollywood park from the reputation it has (seedy part of town – which is true) but I valeted my car and "took a chance". I was dropping someone off at the airport and well, it's only 5 minutes from the airport. Two mentionable hands. The first was around 4am towards [...]
