Sixty Day Challenge Day 2

June 30, 2004 Poker

I had a really good night tonight but it would have been better if I would have quit earlier. I ended up +$117 playing 3 tables for a total of 252 hands. That gives me a two day total of +$170.25 which is well above my $33.33 a day goal ($103.59 over the goal to [...]

Sixty Day Challenge

June 29, 2004 Poker

For those of you who read 2+2 on a regular basis there have been several threads started over there by people who have set a goal and document their progress. The one I have followed for quite some time is David Ross’ attempt to make a living playing poker while he waits for job opportunities [...]

Another Tournament at The Bicycle Casino

June 19, 2004 Poker

Despite my less than spectacular performance earlier this week at the Bike NL tournament I wanted to give it another shot. I entered Friday night’s $25 +$5 NL Hold ‘Em tournament. I was a little surprised to see so many people. Final tally would be just shy of 200 players. I came nowhere near placing [...]

The Poker Gods Speaketh

June 18, 2004 Poker

Last night was a very strange evening. I had originally transferred $100 into my Empire account a few months ago when I opened the account and, for the most part, had forgotten about it. I was a little bored so I decided to play over there and see if I couldn’t start building up that [...]

How Rich Are You?

June 18, 2004 General Ramblings

I ran across an interesting site that I thought I would throw out there. It’s called the Global Rich List and it claims to compare your salary against the world population. For instance, if someone makes $100,000 a year, they are in the top .6% of all wage earners in the world which translates to [...]

My First Live Tournament

June 16, 2004 Poker

I wish I had an exciting story to tell from my first live tournamnet but it was pretty much a pre-break bust. I played in the Bicycle $20 +$5 NL Hold ‘Em tournament last night and busted out early. I went over four complete orbits before getting a playable hand. Ok, I’ll admit I was [...]

WPT Hollywood Homegame

June 15, 2004 Poker

Well, looks like the folks over at WPT saw the success of Celebrity Poker and started their own version called Hollywood Homegame. Despite Evelyn Ng, the most attractive lady in poker, acting as a quasi-dealer, the Hollywood Homegame left a lot to be desired. The disappointing part was that it had potential. I think a [...]

No Karma Points At The Bike

June 12, 2004 Poker

I previously posted about a game last Sat. night at Hollywood Park where I split the pot with another player when the dealer had screwed up and mucked her hand. I was hoping for some karma points out of that but looks like the karma-gods got the last laugh. I’m at the Bicycle Casino Friday [...]

Just a bunch of stuff . . .

June 8, 2004 Poker

I forgot to mention during my Chaos at Commerce post that at the table over from me this guy just took a major digger. All of a sudden this guy just hits the floor and he’s out cold. Dead cold. Security and a bunch of people surrounded him and he stayed flat out for a [...]
