OMG

July 1st, 2009 No comments

Well, my game is doing well.  But, that's a subset of today's post.  I got up this morning and did the normal stuff – made coffee, checked out the RSS feed, you know the rest. Funny, but I didn't see the outcome of the 50K HORSE.  I'd watched it for a while but watching without the hole cam can get boring.  OMG, they are still playing the HORSE. Read more...

No oxymoron alert but it is an ongoing temptation.  No, I want to mention that John Kabbaj is bring home GB’s 3rd bracelet.   That has evidently excited those over there in punter-land.  He’s already inked a book deal detailing his ascent into poker royalty. Read more…

I managed a new bankroll high over the weekend.  That isn't a lot to crow about – even though the month was outstanding in growth.  I've increased my bankroll about 450%. But, that factually is about the same as kissing your sister. Read more...

Donkments – They Ain’t
