Played until about 2am last night putting in a solid 8-hour poker ‘work’ day. Cashed out a whopping $33 of which I was honestly pleased with considering at one point in the session I was down about $650.
I had started at a table which was frustrating – players getting up for 30 minutes at a [...]

The wife is great, allowing me the opportunity to get away twice per year on solely poker trips. The second will be during the World Series of Poker later this year (June 11-16) while this coming weekend I’ll be on my way to Las Vegas both staying at the Wynn and playing there too during [...]

Had my sister, brother-in-law and neice & nephew (Kayla & Nick) in town this past weekend for a long weekend visit. They got in late Wednesday and stayed through Sunday early morning. The trip was comprised of a long drive through the Hollywood Hills, Studio City, and Beverly Hills as well as stops at Dave [...]
Parsonage Turner Syndrome

A child-hood friend of mine, and proud owner of the New Jersey Roadkill was diagnosed with Parsonage Turner Syndrome. Parsonage Turner Syndrome is an illness that attacks a cluster of nerves in the shoulder rendering the hand partially (and temporarily) paralyzed. In this case it is his left hand. It is characterized by three weeks of intense [...]
LA Poker Classic – Event 26 – NL$545 – bubbling again…argh!
Posted in Poker on February 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Hadn’t played in a tourney in a few weeks since bubbling in the last NL$545 in early February. This event drew around 600+ participants and was to pay the top 63. Played well early, tight-aggressive flopping two sets and having two flush draws push on me, both missing. During the 200-400 (50) round, I’d gotten [...]
Recruiting – Atlanta – accounting, finance, tax, audit, etc.
Posted in Professional - work on February 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I played cards a couple of weeks ago when in Atlanta and it dawned on me that I don’t pay enough attention to the other player’s professions. In addition to possibly providing me some additional insight into my adversaries at the table, I always seem to overlook the possibility of networking and assisting those folks. [...]
Yawner of a weekend, how nice – S.U Alumni event
Posted in Life in "LA" on February 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
No travel, no poker, no zoo, no museum, no nothing really. What a fantastic weekend. For the first time in a while we did virtually nothing. Considering that every weekend this year we’ve had plans and every weekend from now through May we have plans, this weekend was a nice breather.
We did attend the Syracuse [...]
Broken in to….argh!

So woke up this fine glorious Southern California morning and got into my wife’s car on my way to drive my son to pre-school when I noticed some items (CDs, Entertainment book, and papers sitting on her passenger’s seat). Thought that odd only to look up and notice her navigational system missing from the front [...]
Running it twice…three times…
Posted in Poker on February 11, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I was in Atlanta this past week for business and to tend to some matters (ie. my house). It was good catching up with friends and acquaintances, meeting some candidates I’ve placed for the first time; seeing some of my friends now have girlfriends (welcome to the dark-side), and played a little tennis. Always good [...]
Baby Stock Take II

Yep, another Stockfield is on it’s way come mid-to-late July. We’re very excited about this news and this will no doubt make this spring and summer more hectic than it already was going to be.
