Ok first, start siting of the day – Kathryn Morris (CBS’ Cold Case) – Starbucks reading a script. I don’t even watch the show, but when someone’s sitting there reading a script… Moving on.
Everyone’s seen the ads for all the online poker sites. And everyone that plays any online, probably have their favorite, likely because they’ve [...]
California Poker Championships – Third go-around
Posted in Uncategorized on September 21, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Well, gave it a third go-around playing in the final NL$300+$30 event that Commerce this week. I fared much better busting out around 70th place (out of 450+), but still not very happy with the results. I played a few too many marginal hands trying to ‘make something happen’, but I don’t mind going out [...]

Spending 5-6 hours in a plane with a two-year old isn’t fun. Granted we have the best lil 2-year old in the world, but even he has his limitations. He ‘lost it’ outbound to NY with about 45 minutes to go and it wasn’t until he got to the rental car did he crack a [...]

Headed back to NY so we can celebrate Shane’s birthday with his extended family. This will be Shane’s first flight in his own seat which has both positive and negative. Positive for the room…negative as this is the first time we’ve had to pay for his flight.
But it’ll be great Shane around his cousins and [...]
California Poker Championships, Event #3

So Tuesday didn’t work out so well…well neither did Thursday. Only starting with $1,500 in chips is tough. I tried to limp in with ‘ok’ starting hands in order to acquire chips, but nothing seem to hit. Down to 775 with the blinds in round two at 25-50 and my starting to feel short-stacked, I [...]

Well, I played in Event #1 which was a NL$300+30. There were 670 entrants for a total prize pool of nearly $200,000 with $60,000 to first. They were to pay the top 36 which seemed reasonable. I busted out around the 300 person mark which was about mid-way through the field and about mid round [...]
Jose Canseco ruined my Labor Day,…well not really…

Playing in a Labor Day tournament and started game three of our round-robin play Sunday. We played the Valley Mets of which possess all ex-professional ballplayers and three ex-major leaguers in Matt Whisenant, Ozzie Canseco and his infamous brother Jose. Got the first two outs in the top of the first and up comes Jose. [...]
