It’s actually now going to be longer than 96-hours as I’ve changed my flights around and will now be heading to Las Vegas early on next Thursday morning and not leaving until about 5pm that Monday, so I suppose it’ll be about 103 hours. Here’s my tentative agenda:
Thursday June 7th:
10am – Arrive and head directly [...]

My weekend session at Commerce
Posted in Poker on May 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In between Mickey Mouse, the pool and bar-b-q’ing, I wound up sneaking in a short 12-hour session at Commerce Sunday night. I’m finding the players are getting a little better and table selection is still a problem for me. Players aren’t playing as loose, and are being more aggressive. What’s up with that? I need [...]
Long weekend

For the first time in a while, I simply decided to take the day off on Friday. In the last four years, I really have not taken too much vacation. Time is money as they say, but the ironic thing is without the ability to make significant money over that time, I rarely took time [...]
The Atlanta Search Group, Inc.

…and the winner is…The Atlanta Search Group, Inc. It was between this and HUMINT Search Group, Inc. I suppose simplicity stole the show. I wanted something that people would easily understand. I run the risk of getting lots of non-financial stuff but at least I know I won’t get any Los Angeles, Chicago or New [...]
NL335, Commerce

Taking advantage again of living out here and all the tournament circuits. Had arranged to play on a Wednesday in the $335 tourney at Commerce. I’ve hit a stale run of cards recently and this tournament didn’t do anything to correct that run. The tournament structure is a little difficult with only 1,500 in starting [...]
Midnight train to Georgia

Sitting here at one of my couple of breakfast locales in Los Angeles, Paty’s. The song on the radio is ‘Midnight train to Georgia’. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to comment here that we are that much closer to a return. Our tenants gave us 30-days notice the other day and will be out [...]
Ouchy in Vegas…

…ok, finally able to sit after a little/big tough couple of sessions in Sin City last week. I was in town for all of 36 hours and managed to have three consecutive losing sessions. I actually played very well, but have very little to show for it. Sets over sets, 1,2 and 3 outers. My [...]

So the New York Yankees have bought themselves a 45-year old major leave pitcher for the bargain basement price of $28,000,022! Oh my. I’m a big Yankee fan and as one, of course I’m excited about this prospect. Many Yankee fans will scoff at the price-tag, but who cares??? It’s not coming directly out of [...]
Heavenly Hold’em – Commerce tourney
Posted in Uncategorized on May 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Played in the first event of the Heavenly Hold’em tournament at the Commerce Casino Friday night. I got knocked out at about 170th out of 580 individuals (top 36 got paid). I played decently, got lucky one time (K,10 clubs) overmatching QQ when the other guy flopped a set and I rivered a club to [...]
Queens stink
Posted in Poker on May 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Played a day session today and felt good about my game lately. Had won two dimes over the last month and back on track and starting to gain some momentum as the World Series approaches. Well, today was a set back which hurt, but it was only two ‘big’ hands that cost me…both with queens.
Hand [...]
