35th Ryder Cup Opening Ceremonies

35th Ryder CupDad and I were in attendance at the greatest event I’ve ever been a part of. The Ryder Cup is the Super Bowl of golf, with the difference being the number of times it is held in the United States. The Ryder Cup Matches are held every two years. They are held in the United States every four years. During a golfer’s lifetime, the matches are held on home soil about 20 times. A few of those are during the years when we are too young to appreciate them or too old to attend. So figure about 12 to 14 chances of attending the event.

Heads Up…Yours!

I’m horrible playing heads up in Texas Hold’em and I know it has to do with the fact that I don’t like to bluff as much as most people. The past two nights we’ve (Mom, Dad, Isaac, and I) played a mini-tournament and both times I made it to the final two with a commanding chip leader. I also lost both times. I usually end up bluffing at the wrong times, even though the other player checks to me and never raises when I bet. I get called with shit like bottom pair. Bad play on their part or wrong times to bluff on my part? I realize that it’ll come with more practice and experience, but it’s frustrating. I’ve been playing solid poker and then when it’s down to two, I run and hide.

If you see me at a poker table near you, keep raising. It’s the only way I’m going to improve.

Coming Along

The new Poker Chip Tricks site is really coming along. I think I have most of the design work completed. I just need to create all of the content, images, videos and then test everything. Might be able to launch the site next week if I have a productive weekend. No promises though.

I need to get this project completed, so I can begin on the next site I have planned. The domains have already been purchased and are just waiting to be used! Are you as excited as I am?
