I think that’s right. Pretty sure it’s right. The numbers add up, at any rate. The river action is definitely right.

Google Tips/Tricks

You may or may not know it, but Google has lots of extra features that go beyond pure search. For example, it has a calculator that can do “basic arithmetic, more complicated math, units of measure and conversions, and physical constants.” Its Search By Number feature lets you look up UPS tracking numbers, FedEx tracking numbers, Patent numbers, FAA airplane registration numbers, and FCC equipment IDs. Woah.

Poker poker poker poker poker

I’ve been playing a hell of a lot of poker the past few days. On Saturday I played down at Hollywood Park and made $47 on top of the $100 I started with at the $2/$4 table. Saturday night I played at PokerStars at the .25/.50 table and lost about $14 or $15. Sunday I played again on PokerStars at the .50/1 and made about $11 on my $34. Today before our weekly game I played on PokerStars (.25/.50) and lost about $6. At the weekly game I made about $5. After the weekly game I played on PokerStars (.50/1) and made $17.

So… I guess I’m up. But when you compare this amount divided by the number of hours, it doesn’t really seem worth it. Especially when I’ve got other shit to do.
