Between our Quests We Sequin Vests and Impersonate Clark Gable
Bonus points if you can place that line without using an internet search.
On Sunday I leave for the first leg of a twin leg vacation. The family is piling into the station wagon and driving to the Grand Canyon for a few days of camping & hiking. Vegas is a convenient stopping point, [...]

Welcome Aboard, Launch Poker
I’d like to welcome Launch Poker to BWP. They could best be described as a ‘poker portal’ – their site has links to articles describing basic rules, strategy for the most popular poker variants, as well as some fairly obscure ones (Cinncinati?). They have a pro player database, links to useful poker books [...]

Stay Where You Are.
All People Who Think They are Smart Take One Step Forward. Biggestron, Stay Where You Are.
Remember a few posts back when I said I’d rather not play against bad players? Yeah, well I agree with you. I am an idiot. I’ve been playing a lot of PLO8 .25/.50 levels on [...]

Do You Pull Band-Aids off Fast or Slow?
My head just stopped spinning from a 1-2 elimination suckiness. Still – I’ll take all the pain at once, please. I played three freerolls on Sunday: 2 WSOP sats (gold & silver at Stars) and the blogger freeroll (also at Stars). I lost early on with TPTK vs a slow-played set [...]

When Starsky Met Hutch. And Columbo.
Same genre, but I don’t think Columbo ever had a partner so these guys will have to do as subs for a glib reference to some fine TV programming from the 70’s.
Columbo was quick to step up as my new partner for organizing the WPBT-POY events. If you haven’t seen his site before [...]

A Good Day of Poker and Cry for a Tipper
This post 100% guaranteed to contain no whining.
I had a really good evening of poker yesterday. I went in to my weekly homegame with a plan to play bad for the first half hour (this comes rather naturally to me) and then snap my ‘A’ game in place once the table marked me [...]

Phil Gordon is a Legal Genious
Two attornies in a federal case were ordered to play Roshambo to decide the fate of their clients. Being a federal case, it sets a legal precedant for lower courts. How long do we have to wait until the Supreme Court uses a heads-up No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em match to drive their [...]

From Geek Central to Geek Central
I live in geek central – Google headquarters is a 5 minute drive from my house, I pass the site of the first commercial semiconductor production site on my way to buy vegetables on Saturday and every day I go into work I pass a radio telescope that probes into the secrets of our universe.
I [...]
