An Infinite Regression of Satellites
This boring post is dedicated to Felicia.
Woo-hoo – I won a satellite to a satellite to a satellite to a $1,000,000 prizepool event at UB. 42 people were in it, I had to finish in the top 10. Amazingly, the chip-leader in this event busted out with only 4 more people to be [...]

Hand in the Cookie Jar Sometimes Gets You a Cookie
Winning poker uses bluffs.
Let’s take this hand as an example:
[Edit - in line app removed. The shuffling and chip sound was driving me crazy!! You can still see it at the link below.]

Disregarding the particular hand involved here, and the stated reasons by the person who played it…

Pictures of Horse Sex
Alright, that title was just a cheap grab at some pervo-driven google searches, but ain’t that what its all about some days? NO? Alrighty then…
I want to pimp a few upcoming events:
1) The return of the west coast friendly Thursday tournies, named WW.NOT because of the absence of a certain geek. [...]

Ok, We Are Moving to Fractions of StB Scores…
New WPBT-POY results are up. Any guesses on the leader? I’m happy with my standing of 0.3 StBs.

When Does a Donkey Look Like a Kat?
Edit – This post is not directed at Kat, nor at the particular starting hand she played. Her play against me in the DADIV event was simply a starting point for my spiel outlining the growing annoyance I have for the considerable role of luck in NLHE tournies. I appear to have hit [...]

Purple Mountain Majesty
This is where I am headed off to for a 3 day camping trip with Mrs. Ron and the LittlestRon. It will be his first trip to Yosemite – long overdue since it is only about 5 hours from where we live. Well… make that his second trip. He’s been there before, [...]

Time for some bottom lovin’
Wow, do I love the titles I come up with for these posts.
First of all, I’d like all of the WPBT’ers to have a look at the guidelines I came up with. I’ve stated them before in various locations, but now I’ve combined them all into one spot. The WPBT-POY page doesn’t get picked up [...]

Harvard, Please Stop Using Your Secret Brainwaves!
Harvard, you’ve been warned about hypnotizing people. I have it on good authority that you are taking the living souls outside of people’s bodies, right down to their DNA.
I’d long suspected it, but I have at last recieved the email proof I need to finally begin construction on my anti-hypnosis ray gun. Harvard, your reign [...]

Return of the King
I played in the ‘Hammer out Cancer’ event set up by EZCure Sunday night. The WPBT raised over $1000 for cancer research on Easter Sunday – that has to be good for some major karma points. We’ve achieved cliche status as an ensemble: we are degenerates with hearts of gold.
I chipped up pretty early when [...]
