Played in the next series of tournaments at The Bike last night, a NL$225 tourney which had 382 players and paid out top 27. Starting chips 2,000, 25-25 blinds, 30 minute levels. I’d had had a tough 2007 in tourneys, 0-fer 5 until placing 30th out of 922 last month during a Legends event. Busted [...]

Happy Birthday Shane!

September 26, 2004 my life changed forever. It was a day I knew would be spectacular, inspiring, and unbelievable and that’s exactly what it was. For those that don’t know the story, Shane was born on the day of my first true baseball championship game.
The team I managed had a great year and was in [...]
Poker over the weekend
Posted in Uncategorized on September 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Played an eight-hour session Saturday evening at Commerce and did not have the same results as last time. Lost 300 but could have been worse. I could not find myself a ‘good’ table further emphasizing table selection. The first time, a new one was tighter than my,…well, let’s just say it was tight and players [...]
Poker streak – running good – knock on wood
Posted in Uncategorized on September 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Hadn’t made a poker post in quite some time, mostly because I had not been playing much or there was nothing ’spectacular’. Just grinding it out. Until this past weekend.
I played in some satellites at Commerce as they have the California State Poker Championships going on right now. Won about $200 playing those then went [...]
The Emmys – a nomination in the family
Posted in Uncategorized on September 16, 2007 | 1 Comment »
So Mrs. S is off to the Emmys in a short bit. Her and her division’s work has been nominated for an Emmy. What an honor. Her group was nominated for (something like) Outstanding Interactive Site, or something to that effect. Either way it’s quite an accomplishment, one with which I’m proud of her for. [...]
Remembering 9/11
Posted in Uncategorized on September 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s been six years since the catastrophic events of 9/11/2001. An horrific day, one of those one will never forget. I’d imagine this could be more memorable than the ‘where were you when’ question of November 22, 1963. I’ll never forget going into work that day and being informed by someone getting off the elevator [...]
Poker update
Posted in Uncategorized on September 5, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Played in a NL335 event last night and continued my poker ’slump’ by busting out relatively early in the first event of the 2007 California State Poker Championship Series which began yesterday. All started with 1500 in chips and 25-25 blinds. My style of tourney play is typically slow and steady, and to survive but [...]
Rebates gone bad…
Posted in Uncategorized on September 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
We’ve all done it. Bought something inadvertantly because the cost of the product was only a fraction of what it was supposed to be ‘after the mail in rebate’. Wow….a cell phone that was $199.99 which has an automatic savings of $49.99 off and another mail in rebate of $50.00 bringing the one time nearly [...]
