  • Disappointing Result in Sunday Poker Tourney

    Nothing more to say other than my notes taken during tonight’s big tourney… *********************************************** 929 entrants, top 100 paid Won my entry on Friday. Poor start. I had J2o in the big blind on the first hand. Flop came 5JK rainbow. Small blind and I were the only two in the hand. He […]

  • Finally Back on Track in Big Poker Tourney

    I’ve had a bit of a dry spell in the big one, including some very near cashes. Tonight felt like it was going to be another one of just missing the money, barely. Thankfully, this one has a happier ending (no surprise, given the title, right?). 😉 Here is a log of my […]

  • Welcome WordPress 2.3

    The only plugin that I had installed which supposedly wasn’t compatible with 2.3 was Google Sitemaps Generator. There was a newer version available, which was compatible. So, I just took the plunge and upgraded. Smooth as silk. This is now the first post that has any tags associated with it. 🙂

  • September 2007 Poker Update

    So, the streak had to end at some point, and it turns out, that September 2007 was that time. No complaints (at least not that I’m willing to voice publicly). 😉 At one point during the month, I quoted an ancient line to Lois: “If I didn’t have bad luck, I would have […]

  • Bad Result in Sunday Tourney

    I shouldn’t even bother posting. The only good news is that it didn’t drag on that long, and torture me with a “near the money” finish, like last time… Here are my notes: 871 entrants, top 90 get paid 820 left, in 232nd 815 left, in 135th 774 left, in 143rd 683 left, […]

  • Silly DKIM Update

    This is an unnecessary post. I’m mostly doing it because I said I would, but really, because I changed the permalink structure of this blog, and this will be my first post with the new structure (though old posts are available under the new scheme as well). 🙂 It’s been a little more […]

  • Bad result in Sunday Big Tourney on 9/2/2007

  • August 2007 Poker Update

    Another month, a ton more poker played. 🙂 The month started off OK with 5 days of poker generating $70 of profit. Then a trip to Zope made for zero poker played for the next 5 days (until the weekend). For the next few weeks, I was really busy on weekends, and while […]

  • Verizon FIOS TV

    So, I’ve been using Verizon FIOS for my Internet connection in the house for quite a while now, and I absolutely love it! When they first installed it, the tech said that they would be introducing TV over the same fiber connection, likely within 6 months. Well, it’s been much longer than 6 […]

  • A very Wicked Sunday 🙂

    If you read my last post, you know that the highlight of yesterday was going to see Wicked for our fifth time. In addition to that specific highlight, the day turned out to be spectacular in a number of other ways. Therefore, this post will likely be very long, and I apologize if […]
