Sometimes I read a poker blog and I feel myself going on tilt. I won’t name names, but I encourage you to let loose and blog about the poker blogger who most puts you on tilt. Because I need something to chuckle about.
Okay, fine, I’ll name names. The blogger who most puts me on tilt is SirFWALGMan! Deep down inside I think his online mania isn’t a wholly accurate reflection of the man, but damn, sometimes I feel like pissing away half my bankroll just for having read one of his posts. Don’t worry, man, we still love you.
Describe the action and players that sit down for Bravo’s Celebrity Poker Showdown… 5 players competing for the million dollar prize pool.
5 winners will receive an autographed picture of Dave Foley (he’s the short guy) and Me, a very limited editiion photo of us on set — a place we’ll never be again, as I have officially left the show. You’ll also receive an autographed copy of my instructional DVD, www.expertinsight.com Final Table Poker.
Entries will be scored on their creativity, selection of celebs, and realistic portrayal of potential action at the table and loser’s lounge.
Oh yeah, I’ll throw in another $100 gift card to Hooter’s for the winner as well. What the hell, I still have $4600 left. I will also personally send your entry to the producers — I heard somewhere they may be looking for a new executive producer for the show, so you never know…
Have fun and be safe.
This sounds like something that BG, JoeSpeaker, or many others could knock out of the park.
Another night of bad results at Commerce Casino. I dropped 15.5BB at 9/18 for an hourly of -4.4BB/hr. My play was good, the players were bad, and my cards were worse.
“Yeah, yeah,” you’re thinking, “Bloggers always blame the cards.” But honestly I think it was a good table.
F-Train sat in the 5 seat and suffered a few moderate beats and still came out ahead. Two of those losses were to the same guy–the first time the enemy jammed on the flop with no pair and the third nut flush draw, the second time he led on the flop with bottom pair and backdoor flush draw. There was also a guy at our table that liked to limp re-raise pre-flop and another guy who liked to raise on the flop with any piece of it.
I did make a couple mistakes, though. I missed out on at least 1-2BB when I flopped trip aces. Somewhere in my mind I knew we were going to hit the jackpot and I didn’t want to miss out on that. As it turns out, I should have check-raised them on the turn. They’d stay in for the jackpot, right?
When your hard drive finally crashes, you’ll regret not having a recent backup of your hand histories, photos, electronic statements, and MP3s. But backing up onto CD-Rs or DVD-Rs is a pain in the ass and an environmental disaster. And while a month-old snapshot is better than nothing, why not work off the latest version of your files?
The most convenient way to perform back-ups is to use another hard drive. With a second hard drive, you can use a program like Second Copy to perform daily automated back-ups of the files you want to preserve without having to insert blank media 72 times. There’s a deal for a 250GB Seagate internal hard drive at Fry’s Outpost.com — only $69.99 after rebate, which is 1 cent per GB cheaper than the Seagate I bought back in July.
I’m tempted to get it myself, but I actually already have an external hard drive I use for back-ups, and I think I’m about to spend a lot of money on a clutch repair job.
