Back from a Bike Trip
I just got back from a trip with a few friends to upstate NY. I had a great time, rode new street spots and skate parks, and met some really cool riders. Overall we drove (not rode) 900 miles. I was going to take some pictures, but I left my camera at a friends house. [...]
New Bike Frame!
I love getting new things. I just got a new frame in the mail today. I was able to get $70 off because they’re phasing out the 06 model for the 07’s, which are pretty much the same. so it was $260 instead of $330. ~$300 is the normal price for good bmx frames.
I’m sure [...]
Turbo heads up sit and go tournaments
Pokerstars just added heads up sit and go tournaments with 5-minute blinds. I’ve actually been pulling for them to create these tables. Now that they’ve made these turbo heads up sit and gos, I’m having second thoughts.
My first thought was that these would be great. Better players will win money faster while the losing players [...]
Bush signs the port security / online gambling bill
And i’m not scared or surprised. We all knew it was coming after the law passed in the senate. I’m sure PokerStars and FullTiltPoker saw this coming as well, and they have already announced that they’re sticking around. Neteller doesn’t show any signs of quitting on us either.
I’m going to continue transfering money in an [...]
Online Poker - Game On!
I’ve been holding back a lot for the past few weeks, just waiting for the dust to settle with the new gambling legislation. While it’s still far from over, I think it’s much easier to speculate on what’s going on the future of poker now.
The day after the bill passed, PartyPoker and 888 immediately announced [...]
Heads up WCOOP event
I played in yesterdays $215 world championship of online poker event. Unfortunately I didn’t win or make it into the money. I won two rounds and lost the 3rd, which was the one right before the money.
The first two guys I beat pretty easy. They both choked early on and bluffed their chips away. [...]
Online Poker, Crazy phone calls, and the Wcoop
I just got off the phone with a lady (60’s or 70’s?) who called me about issues with casinoroom. That caught me off guard. I have a few casinoroom banners up here and there, but I definitely don’t work for them. I didn’t even know that my name and phone number was online. It was [...]
Bayou Poker Crooks
[edit]I made this post a few days ago but took it down. I figured it wasn’t a good idea to have the first thing that they see on my site be, “Bayou Poker Crooks”, when deciding if they should pay me.
Well I finally got the payment owed to me from April 27th to September 1st. [...]
Go Steelers!!!
I have my $1,100 bet locked in on the Steelers to beat the Dolphins by 5 (via the Mansion promo). The game starts in an hour and i’m praying that the steelers will dominate.
This is going to be the first football game i’m actually going to pay attention to. I’ve never been interested in football, [...]
Time Management
Time management is one of the hardest things in the world for me. I always get really wrapped up with one or two things and put everything else off. I guess that explains why I’ve been absent from the blog lately. I’ll try and fit everything I’ve been doing in the past few weeks in [...]
