So the trip to the casino was a victorious one this time around; indeed - I walked out of the place with more money in my pocket than I walked in with. A whopping $45 after a $100 buy-in. Insignificant to some, glorious to me ( Read more... )

I know, it's been atrociously long since an update here. I figure between my losing a taste for poker for awhile, and my brother's getting married and then becoming a father, there wasn't much interest in playing a lot of poker or keeping up on our exploits ( Read more... )

I would like to happily report that my brother and I, during our holiday excursion to southern Ohio, dominated all Ohioan and West Virginian players. I personally busted everyone except my brother, who defeated me heads up with pocket Aces against my pocket Sevens.

Just realized I never put this info up on the Mitten. We're now running two weekly poker games at Rob Waddell's apartment (which is approximately 100 feet from my apartment). Wednesday nights start at 7:30, Sunday afternoons start at 2:30. We start with a NLHE tournament (currently $5 buy-in, but probably will pop up to $10 in the next few weeks ( Read more... )

Just wanted to let y'all know that a couple weeks ago I beat Richard Brodie aka Quiet Lion aka The Dude Who Wrote Microsoft Word out of about $75 on Full Tilt. It was basically two hands: one AA vs. KK, one JJ vs. KQo - the second one Rich said I played "perfect." I have resolved to get him to come play at my level much more often ( Read more... )

This is the only beat I've ever gotten that I was actually pissed off about, so it warrants bitching ( Read more... )

Just had a run on Fulltiltpoker.net where I raped and pillage two separate players heads up for a total of a 2100 chip profit ( Read more... )

After this weekend and the last couple days online, I have come to the conclusion that I am the greatest poker player alive. Tremble in my presence.

Without devulging too many secrets as to the debauchery that went on during Matt's bachelor party, please e-mail to me any and all stories you wish to share about our venture to the casino. If you know someone who was there but doesn't read this, make sure you pass the word along.

Also, despite that this place is usually reserved for poker stories ( Read more... )
