Excuse My Meltdown
Instant Lottery Millionaire
We go Wat Ai Kai in Nakon Si Thammarat to get lucky lottery numbers.
Checking Out Rentals in Prachuap Khiri Khan
Trying to find a new place in Prachuap Khiri Khan. It’s a small fishing village south of Hua Hin so there isn’t a lot to look at but we show you a couple of places available to give an idea of pricing and layouts.
New Beginnings
Just to get it out of the way, yes, I have retired from my position as the Head of Online Poker at Caesars and the World Series of Poker. If that is all you wanted to know, I tried to keep it tweet sized. 🙂 As for the “why” part, let me explain. I haven’t…
Morro Bay – May 2018
Took a trip out to Morro Bay before the WSOP kicked into full gear, to spend a little time with my brother and sister-in-law.
Bangkok Comes Alive at Night
A little time-lapse I did during my last stay in Thailand.
Global Entry Program – The Only Way to Fly
If you travel outside of the US more than once or twice a year, I highly recommend applying for the Global Entry program.
Songkran in Thailand
Songkran is a holiday in Thailand that I avoided for many years. For those not familiar with it, Songkran is a festival in Thailand that the Thais call their New Year (though they also celebrate the international new year and Chinese new year). It dates back to ancient times and coincides with the lunar calendar…

Stingrays in Grand Cayman and Skydiving in Cali
Some more non-poker related videos. Here’s a video shot in Grand Cayman of a stingray feeding dive we did. The funny part is that for all of the danger people think is involved with diving with sharks I actually received my worst animal related bite from a stingray. While trying to feed one of the…
Shark Diving
Last night I did an interview for the Poker Affiliate Listings radio/podcast show and Jeremy mentioned my list of travels. Well, coincidentally I’ve been going through a bunch of old videos and such and ran across some stuff that I thought I would share for those of you who enjoy some of the non-poker content…
Phi Phi Island
Just to break things up a bit from the Full Tilt suspension news, here’s what I was doing a few hours before the news broke.
The Hangover II and Reality
Okay, I’ve already started receiving emails from friends wanting to know how accurate The Hangover II is to real life in Bangkok. First off, let me say that it’s about as accurate as The Hangover was to Las Vegas. By that I mean that there are as many people stealing police cars, waking up with…
Happy Songkran
If people had been wondering where I was all last week, I was up in Phetchabun for the Songkran festival. Songkran is a religious holiday but over the years it has sort of developed into a three-day nationwide water fight. I prefer the Phetchabun type of Songkran because it’s civilized. In Bangkok, Pattaya, or any…
