Social Reset, Part 3
Ok, back from Christmas with the in-laws in Florida. My golf swing still has a nasty slice on it, almost enough to call it a trick shot. I’ve heard Dewey Tomko is looking to play $10K Nassau with me as a partner.
Here is my next installation of my trip report/short story.

Where the digital becomes flesh and you are never too old to gawk
It’s Friday night in Vegas, and I’ve just played three hours of respectable poker at one of the upper end card rooms in the city. I’m not walking away with wads of cash, but then [...]

Social Reset, Part 1
Intro:
This was my first experience at a blogger gathering, but I have been to Vegas a few times. I took a ton of notes, and as I started typing them in I realized that I have a lot of material. I don’t want to bore people with the minutae of my time, so I’ve [...]

Phase Back to Reality
What a great weekend. I ended up staying until Tuesday because the frequent flyer miles $5 flight that I took to Vegas wouldn’t let me leave on a Monday. What’s that? An extra day an Vegas? Well, ok, I guess I can do it…

All You Need is Luck and Nerves of Steel
To start things off, let me say that on-line poker prizes are getting incredibly strange. About 6 months ago Ultimate Bet started it by offering the chance to star in a commercial with Annie Duke and Phil Helmuth (I think you had to finish last in a $200 tourney to claim that prize). [...]

Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn
Wow. Awful night of poker for me.
In an attempt to grab some remaining bonus to pad the bankroll for my upcoming pilgrimmage, I let myself be Donkey-fodder at the PokerStars 2/4 and 3/6 limit tables. What happens to donkey-fodder, you ask? You end up feeling like donkey crap. Let’s let this blog entry wash [...]
