From the Dealer's Box:  Update on Job and Poker

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I know some of you enjoyed my road to getting a dealing job. Now that I have it I am working 5 days a week a full 8 hours at a minimum, a lot of the time I am working overtime. I barely have the time an energy to put in an hour or two playing some NL25 on Stars. So my goal for this blog is to catch up a little bit on whats been going on in my life and talk a little bit on where I would like to be in the next few months...

St. Lucifer:   It's a blog entry

Que pasa fives...

Its been a shamefully long time(early June)since I’ve sat down and updated my blog. My blogging aspirations have been seemingly crushed by my utter lack of motivation to do anything other than play poker, sleep, and go out at night. How did I compel myself to create this entry? Well, I consider tomorrow to mark another chapter in my life in Madison, Wi and I wanted to be able to reflect on and document the last month or so. What better place to examine your life’s standing than in a blog that was to facilitate this type of analysis in the first place. Blah blah blah lets get to it…

Hagbard_Celine:  Checking in

Been a while since my last post.

I've been putting in some good volume, but am consistently getting disappointed in big tournaments.

Since my last post I've final tabled the FTP 65K ($150+13) twice, but ended up 7th and 8th respectively. My 8th place finish last night did make for a profitable Sunday (Joy!), but was still really disappointing as I ended up busting 44

EdmondDantes:  2008 CVPC - Detox

I'm still trying to shake off the toxic residual of the week-long assault on the Fresno poker community and our staff, but overall, I think the First Annual CVPC was a success worthy of repeat. When I feel like I can string a series of coherent sentences together, I'll provide a proper recap, but the quick highlights include:

brad2002tj:   Deja Vu at the Beau Rivage

It was my girlfriend and my third anniversary so we spent last weekend at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS. We flew into New Orleans and drove a rental car (~1.5 hour drive) to Biloxi.  Checking in was a bit of a mess.  At the front desk the clerk said they don't have any ocean view rooms (even though we booked one) and verified we want a non-smoking room.


We make the trek up to the room and walk into what is clearly a smoking room. We go back down to the front desk and the manager gets us into a non-smoking room, and guess what now there is an ocean view available. So they set us up again and we go up to a really nice non-smoking ocean view room on the 15th floor. As I am going through the check-in documents I notice they have someone else's name on it. Back to the front desk for them to straighten it out, which only takes a few minutes.
