Fantasy Baseball – My Thoughts after the First Half
I enjoy watching sports, even moreso since moving to Boston. I’m a mediocre athlete at best, but I’d always attributed that to genetic shortcomings. No matter how much I trained, I could never really match the baseline levels necessary to excel, or really even enjoy, competitive sports.
I’d always thought that fantasy sports leagues [...]

Time But No Feeling
The title is why I haven’t posted much. Mostly I just want to blather incoherently about the things that are bugging me. But then I think – why would I do this in a public way? Who really cares about what weighs on my mind? Call it life-tilt, crotch-sand, bunched-panties or [...]

Going Deep for Shallow Cash
I went deep into the Stars 50K guarantee last night. 2000+ runners and with a 100 left I was running in the top 10 chip counts. Most of the run was fueled by chips from a player who seemed to be able to suck out on every body but me. He doubled me at least [...]

Iggy out on 7-2-2 Flop
I just wish he would have had the hammer. Unfortunately, Pauly, the best in the business, didn’t see fit to report the hole cards of either Iggy or his opponent. Maybe it is a sign of how much Pauly was rooting for Iggy to go a little deeper. I’m sure it will show up in [...]

Freedom Post for the Fourth: Frenchy Get Cheesed Off
Many of my readers know that I am a Canadian by birth. If you didn’t – now you do. This might explain my lack of enthusiasm for the 4th of July. I’m not terribly patriotic about my adopted country, but then I was never terribly patriotic towards my birth country. But I know how to [...]

Why H.O.R.S.E. Rather than the Main Event is the True WSOP Championship
Guest posting from cberger
When pros Chip Reese and then Freddy Deeb, two players recognized as top pros, won consecutive WSOP H.O.R.S.E. championships or when Scotty Nguyen won 50000$ at HORSE event, many poker players confirmed that the H.O.R.S.E. event crowned poker’s true champion. Others clamored to argue that the $10,000 no limit Texas hold’em main [...]

My Skillz Are Bronze
CemfredMD over at Trial and Error Poker has stepped up to host the Skill Series tourney. I like the format of these – non NLHE with an easy buy-in and $2 knockout bounties.
Last night was limit O/8 which meant that a lot of bounties ended up being split. Nothing like winning a [...]
