Bioterrorists Gamble it Up
My First Thought Was Imperial Palace, because I never really trusted those 'Dealertainers'

HBO is Awesome
One more thing –
I'm earmarking my 2nd place MATH finish to pay for a year of HBO.
Great selection of movies, shows, and somehow their broadcast just looks better than all of the other channels.

My MATH is 2nd Best
I haven't played a blogger tourney since taking down the Mook (an accomplishment that according to Chad means that I suck).
I guess I was rusty because I only managed a 2nd place finish in the MATH Monday night.
Congrats to Wes who beat me silly when it came to heads up.
Also big congrats to host [...]

Site Review: RakeBrain.com
Rake.
It is the nemisis of all poker players, but it is a necessary evil. Without rake, the casino poker room – online or b&m – loses profitability and disappears.
Some sites, like RakeBrain.com, operate under the assumption that on-line poker rooms are perhaps making a little bit too much in rake. In return for [...]

I Wonder if Amazon Had a Book Ready Describing the Gore Presidency?
This is funny.
That it is still available Monday morning is hilarious (or go to amazon.com and search '19-0').
I thought it was a really great game to watch, even if I did pass out for most of the 3rd quarter (too many Sam Adams double-bochs. 8.8% and tasty + a belly full of bbq ribs = [...]

Elders 3, Biggestron 0
I had the poker-snot kicked out of me last week by three solid members of the AARP.
The first happened at the Sunday morning Foxwoods $100 buy-in (my Foxwoods review is on its way) tourney. For a $100 buy-in, the structure was pretty decent and there was a mix of good players and gamboolers. [...]
