I’ve been wanting an XM Radio for some time now and after seeing this little gadget at the car show, I decided to pick one up today from Best Buy. I haven’t had a whole lot of time to play around with it, but from what I’ve seen, it’s a great unit. The highlight for me is the fact that it’s so portable and comes with everything I need to use it at home, on the road, or anywhere else.
Pistons, Engines, Tires, And A Pink Shirt
I received a call from my buddy Jeff on Friday night asking if I’d be interested in a couple of Pistons tickets for Saturday night’s game. Jeff’s friend is a season ticket holder and couldn’t get rid of his seats for the game against the Bulls. I had plans to head down to Detroit on Sunday morning for the North American International Auto Show with Mo anyways, so we bought the tickets. I called my friend Lindsay and lined up a place to crash for the night.
Tiger Woods Is Back
Tiger Woods is back! He may not be in the form he once was, but his game is coming around quite nicely. Everyone remembers him for his bombing drives, but the flat blade is the club that usually wins tournaments as Tiger proved this past weekend.

Change of Plans
I might not get any poker in until Sunday or Monday night now. Heading to Detroit for the Pistons game tonight and then to the Detroit Auto show on Sunday. In addition, I still have about 1/3 of ITH left to read.
Go Daddy's Super Bowl Story
One of the leaders in domain sales, Go Daddy, will air a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl at the cost of $2.4 million. Recently Go Daddy’s CEO blogged about it.
No Play
Just a quick post to say that I haven’t played online in a week now as I had planned. I’ve really got the itch, but I’m going to stick to my plan. I’m about 1/3 of the way through reading Internet Texas Hold’em and I think I should be able to finish if I spend […]
Party Poker Cracked
I just read an interesting thread over at Full Contact Poker. It’s about Party Poker Cracked.
…I will not call a raise, or place a bet more than $5 preflop with AA, KK, or QQ! If I bet $2 and it goes to $10 I am usually going to lay that hand down (fold). I almost always check these hands. After the flop, if I don’t get a set I usually fold if there is a bet over $1.
I need to find out where this guy plays. Who in their right mind wouldn’t go all-in pre-flop with pocket rockets? I don’t care how many opponents are already in the pot or how many call after you, but you’re getting more than the correct odds on any call in this situation in a ring game. The author of this book probably walks around his home wearing a tin foil hat. I’m suprised he even uses the Internet. Doesn’t he know that the FBI is tracking our every move. HA HA!
I’m amazed at how many people still believe that online poker is rigged. Why on earth would these companies risk going under when all they have to do is run a legitimate business and make hundreds of millions a year?
