The Shark Tank

I have made it through to Day Two of the $1,500 limit poker event. I think somewhere in the area of 180 players remain and a bit less than half of those will get paid. I had a great level nine and a grueling level 10. I ended the day at 18,300 where average is [...]

I’ve played a little bit of poker, but am hopelessly off the pace. I think I’m at 4,100 FPP at this point. I’m about to fly off to New York, so I will probably not play this weekend at all. On the plus side, the kitchen is nearly done. We’re probably going to get different [...]

Its kind of a good news/bad news thing. We really, really love the way the new countertops turned out. Unfortunately, the installers managed to crack the longest piece all the way through. In the thin piece just in front of the sink, there is a noticeable crack that runs all the way through it. I’m [...]

This blog entry is essentially devoid of poker content.  Sorry about that. My Dad came up to help with the electrical projects.  We took down the old kitchen light fixture, poked a new hole across the room, ran wire between them and installed new new ceiling boxes (as well as reassembled the old light until [...]

Me being me, I can’t really just sit back and watch someone else do the new kitchen. I have very specific ideas about proper carpentry and I find than not many people share my particular brand of fussiness. Therefore, I feel the need to stay directly involved so that I can steer the project in [...]

I have stalled at 9,000 FPPs and I’m not sure when I’m going to play again this month. I was in New York this weekend checking out the auto show while Suited shopped and now I’m in the middle of the remodel. To top it all off, I’m getting ready to take a nerd certification [...]

First of all, let me get this one thing out of the way.   The Wire is the best television show ever made.  Not just good, the best.  Some of you think that M.A.S.H. or The Sopranos or some other show is the best, but you are wrong.  If you haven’t watched The Wire or you [...]

My favorite story of the trip so far involves my man Paulif. It is quite late at night and we are both feeling quite good as a result of many whiskeys, good food and overall joy at being alive. As background, you need to know a bit about Paul. I have noticed that when people [...]

I seem to have relatively little interest in poker the past week or so.  I’ve played very little and not really been very into it when I did play.  This may be because I had one of those sessions where I lost set over set every time I turned around, or to some insane suckout.  [...]
