So I’m 2-tabling last night, and the same guy is at both my tables. Within five minutes, the following occurs: He has pocket fives, the flop comes 5-4-4. It’s capped four ways. The turn is 3c. Capped three ways. River is the 2c. The final two cap it, and the other guy turns over Ac-4c…

Oh, forgot to update yinz on two other minor developments from a previous post: I mentioned that I found a phone number given to me by a girl about ten years ago. Some people (cough, Pauly) said that I should call her up. This seemed a bit pathetic and stalky, so it immediately appealed to…

On this fine Sunday morning I thought I’d catch up on some issues raised in previous posts: So, how did the haircut go? Well, the word “catastrophe” isn’t one I use casually, but I want the record to be as accurate as possible. I went to the place where I got my last haircut and,…

Michael Bolcerek, the head of the PPA, is on CSPAN right now talking about the ban. Just took a call from a lifelong Republican who said “I thought the Republican Party was about personal freedom, but after this ban, I’m starting to rethink that.” He’s STARTING to rethink that? Well, any path to the truth…

If Glenn Greenwald isn’t the best political blogger out there then he’s near the top of a very short list. He’s just written a post about how the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is just another Republican assault on our personal liberty. It used to be that conservatives (and Republicans) loathed government intrusion into the…

I have a bad habit of hiding important documents inside books. I probably got this idiotic idea from, yes, a book, probably some junk mystery novel where the hero finds the final clue tucked between the pages of some forgotton (but somehow symbolic) tome. I think the first time I tried this myself was back…

Wow, I thought the suckouts in Hold-Em were rough, but after playing HORSE for a week or so I’m almost longing for those beats on the river. I’m just playing for fun, playing different games just to be different, but Jesus, could I please not lose EVERY time to a boat on seventh street? Could…

Gonna drink some beer, make some Chili Beef (recipe upon request), and watch the Passion of Terrell Owens. My apartment is filled with the smell of fresh laundry–and that soothing scent actually comes from the laundry I did this morning, not from the can of Febreeze in my bathroom. It’s a beautiful day out, blue…

I’m going to assume that you read the UB blog and know who won the tournament and all that. Devon Miller, the guy who DID win, went on a completely ludicrous hot streak over the last 2 days. How ludicrous? How about This stat–once they got down to 18 players, he knocked out all but…
