Atari vs. Mac
VS.
Can someone please explain the difference between these two devices? Both allow you to move a cursor or object in all directions on your screen and both have one button. Besides the obvious color, shape, and size differences, I think these two devices are the same. Please convince me otherwise…
WBPT V Recap
First another big thanks to Iggy for setting up WBPT V. Also a quick note to mention that there was a celebrity at the tables. It was Wil Wheaton, who you may know from his roles in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I can talk about the tournament…
After learning about the $20 NLHE tournament for poker bloggers and their readers, I was undecided if I would try it out. After all, I figured I would be dead money with my limited No-Limit experience in what would prove to be a quality field of 133 poker players. A few days before the tournament, I started an account on Poker Stars and deposited $50. Thursday rolled around and I made the choice to play. I figured the $20 would be a good investment because it would get me a chance to get my name out there and drive traffic to my poker blog. I surely didn’t expect to make the cut or win any money. I was looking at the tournament as an investment.

Me and Poker: A History
Earlier this week I had been thinking it would be good to do a post about my history playing poker. After the big win last night in the poker blogger tournament, there isn’t a better time for it, so here it is…
A Big 1st Place
I took 1st place in the poker blogger tournament tonight…$798 for the winner!
I'm Shocked!
Tonights Poker Blog Tournament
133 poker players
$20+$2 entry fee
$798 for 1st place
Wow, I can’t even express how I feel right now. Amazing. I’ve never played better poker in my life. I won’t be able to sleep a wink, but I’m tired as hell from staying up last night to watch the Red Sox, so I have to try and get some sleep. Tomorrow I’ll post a complete recap of my first ever big tourney win. For now I have to thank Iggy for putting it all together. Maybe now that I won, he’ll finally pimp my blog. It was a great tournament with some of the best poker players the blogging world has to offer. I really don’t even belong in their company. Congrats to Todd who battled with me heads up at the end and finished 2nd. He started out a short stack, but was killing me and took the lead several times. He’s a much better player than I am, but I got the cards at the right times.
I’m off to bed…sweet dreams!

Biggest Choke Ever!
I’m never been a baseball fan, but I had to stay up tonight and watch the New York Yankees lose to the Boston Red Sox after being up 3-0 in the series. Never has a team went up 3-0 in the ALCS and then lost the next three games. The Yankees did. Never has a team lost a series after being up 3-0. The Yankees did. Yankee hater I am.
Three games in the series were among the longest ever in MLB playoff history and Boston battled to win two of those in extra innings. Boston outplayed New York in every aspect of game 7 and deserved the series win. The curse is over and we never have to hear about it again. It’s on to the World Series for the Red Sox.
