Getting ready for a big tournament In an hour, I’ll be playing in the highest buy-in tournament I’ve played yet. It’s $200+15 and there are thousands of dollars at stake. I’ve seen first place in this tournament pay as much as $150,000. Of course, I’ll need all

Counting down to Europe It still hasn’t really sunk in that I’m about to go backpacking around Europe for two weeks. I’m all packed up (except my toiletry bag, of course) and ready to go. I have to confess that I cheated quite a bit: I used

Poker tourney cancelled I found out on Friday afternoon that Saturday’s poker tournament was cancelled. I was pretty disappointed because I’m confident I could’ve won it.

Same ol’, Same ol’ Not much going on. I’ll give a quick summary: First, I finally bought a new car. I had been driving a 98 Pontiac Grand Am for almost 5 years. It had 115,000 miles on it and I hated it with a furious passion.

Worst start ever I guess it’s only been one day, but I’m pretty sure I ain’t winnin’ any pools for the NCAA Tournament this year. I’m in three pools and here’s where I stand after 16 games played: 3/3, 19/20, 42/42. That’s right, my best standing is
