What Jordan Said
Jordan beat me to it. I’ve had thoughts on a posting about luck in poker brewing for the past month. The whole donkey-Kat debacle put me off blogging for a bit so I never pursued my original intention with that post. I’ve been trying to think of a way to expand it [...]

Be Kind to Animals, Play in the WPBT Circuit #6
I believe in kindness to animals. I would never, never kick a dog, squish a kitty or eat a baby cow (well, veal is actually pretty tasty…). I’m appalled at making poor horses like Barbaro run until their legs break just for our amusement and degenerate gambling behaviour. Did you know that [...]

Perspective, Perspective.
Just a quick note to say that y’all are awesome. I like knowing that when I stumble there are hands around to help me back up.
I also want to send my thoughts out to the members of our community who have taken losses far beyond the trivial junk I was complaining about. Both [...]

Wisdom of the DonkeyPuncher, Dumbness of the Car Puncher
Sigh – today was a day of just really, really bad timing.
I just read his answer to one of TripJax’s questions which I wish I would have read 10h ago.
2. What is the biggest mistake people make at a Limit table? Not being able to release a hand when obviously beaten. With an overpair and [...]

Like a Virus, We Advertise.
I lost to a Swedish blogging poker-poet in the event held last fall. He ended up getting to the final table, won an XBox and wrote up a tourney report in rhyming couplets. I would like to do better this time….

I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of [...]

Gemini is a Success. And a Success.
Whew – I don’t know about y’all, but that was a unique experience. I’ve multi-tournied before, but obviously never against the same exact players at the same exact time (unless you count that $200 MTT at Party where I played some ZeeJustin guy over and over LOLOLOLOL). It was an interesting quirk of [...]

It’s Tuesday
That lame title is the reason I haven’t been posting much. The creative fires are down to a pilot setting for the time being.
Probably the biggest event to have happened recently is the threatened doocing of him of the thrice confirmed junk. My understanding of the Bracelet’s legit job is that [...]

Beer, Nuts & Me.
Beer
Molson Canadian
I once knew this Canadian kid named Paul Gilbert. He had a strange hump on his back, was dumb as a tabletop and sported an enormous penis. This is that kind of beer. What else can you say?
Possibly the most entertaining beverage review ever written in the history of anything. Go read The [...]
