Above the Mean: Cyber Monday

Posted by & filed under Articles, BlogPost.

I've been slow to update my blog, mostly because I've been playing so much poker and the holidays came about.  When you play poker so much you don't really do anything worth mentioning.  Sure I could say I made a few thousand buckaroos but anyone can make money.  When its live at least you have… Read more »

Above the Mean: Variance

Posted by & filed under Articles, BlogPost.

OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…..0 cashes yesterday for a net of around -$2,000…I'm not really sure because when this stuff happens its best not to count. The more I think about the concept of being taxed a higher percentage of your income for making over a certain amount of money ($250,000/yr) the crazier I think our world is.  Are… Read more »

Above the Mean: Cash Out

Posted by & filed under Articles, BlogPost.

Have you ever gone to bed only to lay there for hours on end without feeling the slightest bit closer to falling asleep?  Like having an itchy eye that gets itchier every time it is just about to go away, making it nearly impossible to lay off.  Or perhaps you forgot to turn the faucet… Read more »

Above the Mean: Dress Code

The WSOP final table was live on ESPN2 last night, and because hurricane Sandy was more like hurricane Sally, I had power to watch it.  The final table has three players remaining and the three left are the most qualified in my opinion.  I mean that they have played the best throughout the final table… Read more »

Above the Mean: Defense

Poker results yesterday: 2nd in the $55 rebuy on lock for about $1,600 and some withered min cashes on merge, ended up making a few bucks, can't complain. I don't know who said offense is the best defense, but I think they are dumb.  I think they are dumb to the point where that statement… Read more »

Above the Mean: Chicken

Nothing feels better than back to back winning days.  For an MTT player they don't happen all the time, so you might as well dance around naked when they do.  Yesterday I shipped the $109 on lock in what seemed like an easy cruise through the field.  I hit my 2 outs in a standard… Read more »

Above the Mean: Politics 101

Am I the only person who wakes up on Mondays and cooks bacon without a shirt on?  This is probably my most painful past time.  Every time I start the cooking its, "here we go again".  I guess dodging hot grease bullets really wakes you up. I get a lot of creative writing ideas from… Read more »

Above the Mean: TSA

Posted by & filed under Articles, BlogPost.

There have been countless complaints against the TSA securities at airport across the United States.  I have traveled a good amount and have never really had a problem.  Maybe that is because every time I have to get a pat down I go to the line that's inspected by the Latino woman with nice curves. … Read more »

Who goes out to the market and buys candy corn?  If candy corn were perishable, October would smell terrible.  Candy corn is only eaten when it is the absolute last resort.  Its the only candy that is used mainly for decoration.  It is the only candy that kids would rather have the non candy version… Read more »

Above the Mean: Ship the Digits

Posted by & filed under Articles, BlogPost.

Sunday I finally cashed the $500 super stack on Lock poker, taking down 3rd for a nice 5 digit score, which is quite rare for US poker players.  It was also much sweeter because I won a $100 satellite sit n go to qualify for the tournament, super free roll. From a psychology stand point,… Read more »
