This is not a man with a blog.
Johanna has put up more photos from the party, taken by the incredibly talented and entirely underpaid photographer, Heidi Schuman. We ran out of budget for the party before we got to the photographer, but Heidi came and took some photos anyway. The least I can do is tell you to hire her for your…
So, I’m in the middle of a space project here at the new house. With the knowledge that I’ll be here for 25 years, and the blank canvas of a new house untainted by our historical use of it, I’m using every one of the clever ideas I’ve ever heard of to make every inch…
My colleague Jordan Hirsch recently got cast in a new video for Ranger Rick that was too funny. I’d totally forgot about Ranger Rick, but he’s 40 this year and they cast Jordan to do a web video about his relevance. Check it out, and hire him if you need acting work, just don’t take…
What little stuff we brought originally to California we could easily fit in a rented van. We’ve been living on it for 3 months, and as I said to a close friend, we weren’t that attached to it. In fact I suspect that were the van stolen, it would save us a lot of hassle. …
I feel I’ve got my $6/$12 game under control, and so tonight as I waited for a seat at $6/$12 I sat in the $8/$16 game (half kill). The half kill means that if you win two pots in a row, the stakes go up to $12/$24. I’m comfortable at these stakes, but I don’t…
The lady to the right of me is muttering that the guy to my left is "brilliant, just brilliant. Just keep playing those cards." He consistently plays junk and beats her top pair because she doesn’t know how to play post-flop and can’t smell two pair. When she starts, he starts talking to himself, calling…
An afternoon session of $6/$12 at Garden City Casino yielded this hand in which I executed a strategy that would have been otherwise smart at this table, and it backfired on me. I caught a lucky card and ended up with a big pot. Sitting in middle position, I was dealt black Aces. A strong…
I’ve taken the last two afternoons off to play cards with Katie while she was visiting. We logged good time at both Bay 101 and Garden City Casino. (We liked the players at Garden City more, since they were more passive) I had a couple of epiphanies during my 7 hour $6/$12 session with Katie,…
I made it to and through 40. Steve graciously took and posted a gazillion photos up to flickr, including this one at right. If you missed it, I’m sorry, stick around until I’m 70. Incidentally, if this party looks like a lot of fun, I suggest you hire Johanna Walsh, our friend and party planner…
…but I’m posting my rah rah hand moment. I played at the Big Dirty Game tonight. It was destined to be a tension filled evening. Of course I couldn’t forget my $800 slide there the last two sessions, along with my self-doubt that I was playing without a clue. After my successful no limit weekend…
