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 »

Big day yesterday, Jersey Shore is back.  Watching the Shore is like waking up to stale beer.  It stinks, its cheap, its bad for your head, but no matter how many times you say you will never drink again, you do. This is probably going to get me on the bad side of most online… Read more »

Did anyone else watch the ESPN mini film on pro athletes that go broke?  The film "Broke" talked about famous athletes who either thought they were rich and weren't, or thought they were going to be rich forever.  For professional athletes, if they came into money, every single person around them represented negative dollars.  It… Read more »

Last night I watched Avengers again, that movie kicks ass!!!  Iron man's character needs one small improvement.  He talks to his suit multiple times through out the movie and names it "Jarvis".  I think he should paint his suit black, give it dread locks, and rename it "Ben Jarvis Green Ellis" because it can take… Read more »

Last blog I got tons of hate for what I think was a failure to communicate my message.  I apologize, my main message I was trying to convey was that our education system is broken.  Now looking back and making similarities, I think its just as broke as our health care system, which I will… Read more »

I would like to start this masterpiece off by saying congratulations to Nicky Evans and Francisco Costa.  Nicky chopped the Sunday warm up on stars for 77k, and Francisco won a WSOPE Omaha bracelet for about 90k euros.   Although Francisco's win is much more prestigious and brings more fame, Nicky maintained a better hourly win… Read more »

A few years back I started blogging for Bluff Magazine, in the youth of my poker/post college days.  Although you're not all grown up until the day before you die, I feel like I'm not so much of a rookie as I used to be. I'd like to use this blog to talk about politics. … Read more »

There is no real purpose of any blog, especially this one.  However so long as the words are creative and the subject is entertaining, the blog is worth reading.  In today's blog I will be talking solely about myself and the path that I am on right now, future blogs will not do the same….

Back around the time that we started Tournament Poker Edge, I stumbled upon the writings of a guy name Gary Vaynerchuck. He wrote a book called "Crush It!" that I found motivating. In fact, my wife laughs at me as she often catches me watching videos of his on YouTube.  This video for example does… Read more »

So…it's back to reality. I ended up having to leave Las Vegas a bit earlier than expected. Although it only resulted in about 3 less days in Vegas, it did result in me not being out there for the main event, which was kind of a bummer. That is such an exciting time to be… Read more »
