I made a post on 12/5 about charitable giving. To follow up, I just received a call from the Cancer Fund of America. Sounds like a reputable organization. They of course wanted me to donate $30.00 to cancer patients. What noble American can turn that down. The problem that I have is that when I [...]

You ever wonder…

…what happened to all those people you grew up with? I had a dream last night, which I’m sure I do every night but it was odd to remember any details of any other dream. It started out as a dream about business where I joined another Firm (odd, because I never would), but then [...]
Xmas/Holiday Season has struck…

Ok – quickly, start sighting of the week – Tim Allen - about 30 seconds ago at the Starbucks I’m in right now.
It didn’t take as long this year as it has in past years. The holiday season struck me yesterday. I’ve checked out. I’ve checked out – or I’ve burned out. One or the other. [...]
Streak continues – AK no good…

You know when things are going bad whenever your good decisions turn out to be bad ones. The only thing you can continue to do in these situations is to make, what you know to be, the right decisions continuously. Like those folks that go rabbit-hunting into the deck to see if they would have [...]
Back to LA – KK cracked.

Back in LA after a few days in Atlanta. Great weather for the few days I was in town, so that was a nice bonus. Of course limited sleep but a productive couple of days. Nice holiday party.
Played Wednesday night at a new game in Roswell, well established game, but new to me because the [...]
Jet-setting to Atlanta…

First – celebrity sightings in the last week – Marcia Cross of Desperate Housewives fame and for the pathetic souls like me who watched Melrose Place, you know who she is and Andy Richter of the Conan O’Brien Show.
…headed back to Atlanta for a few days (Tuesday through Thursday) to take care of [...]
One Dollar – Hawaiian Gardens
Posted in Uncategorized on December 10, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
So, I tried out Hawaiian Gardens Casino Friday. They have a 4pm $155 buy-in tourney (no rebuys) and thought I’d try my hand. I dumped $300 away in the cash game before the tourney started so things didn’t start that well on the day. For the tourney, you start with 2,000 chips and 25-25 blinds [...]
Tis the season…charitable giving…

Deck the halls, fa la la la la, ho ho ho, I wish you a merry…, you’d better watch out… Commercial central. Heading to the mall this evening with the family to go pick up Shane’s holiday pictures. They’re adorable. But having trouble ordering them online. So we’re going to go back to the mall [...]
Speed bumps
Posted in Poker on December 4, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Well, I was on a ‘hot streak’ and good run the last 6-8 weeks where I had had something like 10 of 13 winning sessions, but that came crashing down the last two nights (Fri/Sat) as back to back losing sessions for 1k and 400 brought me back down to earth.
Usually I like going on [...]
Important stuff – update on poker chips, table
Posted in Uncategorized on December 1, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Been doing my homework on the web about different poker chips and I’m definitely hung up on customizable chips. I don’t think I’d ever have a game using stock chips – one it’s boring, two – you never want someone introducing chips into your game, three – if you’re going to do something, it’s probablay [...]
