Planning on playing in at least one of the events during the 2007 Legends of Poker tournament, probably the first event which is the $335NL Hold’em event next Thursday. Unless I opt to play any other events more then $500, this may be my only event during this series of events. I’m 0-fer 2007 (only [...]

Drew Carey….Come on Down!
Posted in Uncategorized on July 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So it was just this past Friday I saw Drew at Bob’s Big Boy right down the street from beautiful downtown Burbank where TPIR is hosted. I thought it was just another sighting but go figure Mr. Carey was in serious negotiations for Bob Barker’s old role. The irony of it all was simply that [...]

I hadn’t been getting on to the hill quite as much as I’d like to this summer. Guess that’s what happens when you don’t manaage your own team. But I have been playing lots of ‘other’ positions, first base being the position of choice this past weekend. Considering I’m 36, it’s odd to say I’m [...]
Happy Birthday Mindy-Sue

Today’s Mindy’s Birthday. And she doesn’t look a day over 26. You’d never know she had a 3 year old much less what her age was. She’s venturing off to Washington DC tomorrow, but thought I’d put a heartfelt Happy Birthday out there to my bride.
Sick hand – KK vs. 10,6

I’ve only been playing poker competitively for about five years now but this next hand was a sign I have a long way to go to become a professional or at least play at much higher stakes. I’m at the 2/5NL table at the Wynn this past weekend. There is no maximum buy-in which means [...]
Rick Stockfield – ‘come on down’….
Posted in Uncategorized on July 17, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Went to The Price Is Right on Saturday at Mindy’s whim. We of course all grew up on the show and always wondered how’d we do if called up. Well, we each shelled out 50 clams plus taxes and surcharges to enter the Jubilee Theater at Bally’s to watch TPIR-Live! There were about 600 loony [...]
WSOP – Final Table – my trip to LV

I was in Las Vegas this past weekend with another couple with whom we had not seen in quite some time. They now live in Belgium but I used to work with Stephanie at KPMG and it was great to see them after three years. We stayed at the Wynn and one thing I really [...]

Look like tennis scores huh? Yes, actually they are. I picked up my first tennis racquet yesterday in over three years, purchasing one yesterday and then going out and blowing away a baseball teammate of mine on the tennis court. When I was 8 or 9 years old I recall my grandfather asking me what [...]
2007 WSOP Main Event
Posted in Uncategorized on July 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So today is the big day, the 2007 World Series of Poker kicks off at the Rio in Las Vegas. It was an event that I certainly would like to play in one day, but let’s face it, $10,000 is a lot to pony up to play in a silly card game. That being said, I [...]
The 5th of July

Just another Thursday here in Los Angeles. I’m here at Bob’s Big Boy eating lunch (breakfast) and working away via the laptop. It’s interesting and refreshing working alone again. I tell folks I know that one of the biggest differences between this go-around and the last one is that four years ago, I thought I [...]
