CNN Money Article on Obama tax plan to fund health care.It's really a simple question I'm asking, when catastrophe strikes, who helps more ? ... the government or private individuals ? Heck, even when it's not a catastrophe, who helps more ? ... people or the government ?When Katrina struck, who gave their time and helped those in need and rebuilt ? I'd argue that Oprah helped out more than any

Yeah, another "famous" player to add to the list of people I've played with, including Huck Seed and Phil Gordan. You should remember him from the 2006 WSOP main event. He had a monster chip lead on day 2. Here's a reminder of how he plays :-)He was very friendly, except when he was physically trying to steal my chips :-)

I think I know exactly where I left it, so just a quick trip to go and pick it up :-)I'm bringing these three tools to help find it ...Can not highly enough recommend Harrington on Cash Games, great books.

I've become a micro-blogging addict. Twitter started easily enough at work as a way to get the word out to fellow geeks. Stuff from trade shows, blogs, whitepapers, demos, etc. The more I used it, the more I found myself communicating over it rather than email or phone.So if you really want to know what I'm doing at any given moment, follow me on twitter.

Headed to Vegas to play some poker.  Main reason ? ... Professional Rodeo Cowboys can't get off of top-pair, top-kicker hands and are uber-aggressive with them :-) I'll have full trip report when I get back, I'm taking my Dell Mini 9 with me, so maybe I'll blog along the way with key hands. Most likely play the Venetian $550 deep stack and the $330 Caesars tourney.  Then mix in some $2/5 cash

My brother-in-law is having his birthday bash in Vegas this year.  I'm going to head out a few days early and do the usual "sit forever at a poker table and try to fleece the locals" - thing that I do. Maybe I'll do some house hunting while I'm there.  See if the market has hit bottom, but I think it still has a little further to drop, especially if the deflation rumors are true. Stock piling

I'm not one to tell bad beat stories. After awhile you can pretty much finish any beat story once you hear the beginning :-) .... I've started assigning numbers to them just so you can tell them faster ....

If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen me get really excited on Monday, because my new Dell Inspiron Mini 9 arrived.Some people said, "hey, it's just a laptop, why are you so excited ?!" I'm excited because I've had an iPhone for awhile and thought it would solve all my "away from a computer but still need to be connected" issues.What I've found over the past year with the iPhone is

Just ordered my Dell Mini, finally succumbed to the marketing that was in my face everyday. And the fact that we were offering $40 off + 9% off + my 17% employee discount. List price was $514 for the white one with 16GB drive, 1GB RAM, and the 1.3 MP webcam built in. With all the discounts, I got it for $358.01.Could have got it $40 cheaper with the Linux version, but I picked XP because you

I've known this for a long time, but here's a great video that explains it in simple terms. Worth the 47 minutes of your life.Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created.Obviously the Gov't knows this too, and why the bailout had to be passed by them.

Started with a bang, but busted out at the final table of the $540 Venetian tournament. 49 people entered and they gave you 10,000 chips with 25-50 starting blinds and 40 minute levels. Wow, awesome value. I knew this would play more like a cash game in the beginning stages, so that was my strategy. I never was all-in for my tournament life. Slowly built my stack and then got lucky to knock

At this level typically you are making money from 2 or 3 seats at the table, famouslastwords is NOT one of those seats.

The guys over at Living-Vistas finished the outdoor BBQ grill last week. I was able to try out the BGE (Big Green Egg) for the first time on Sunday.Overall, not a bad first attempt. They were edible, but not exactly what I was looking for. I talked to some of my friends, Tom (who I found out has a BGE), and Jeff (needs to get a blog) who is master at BBQ. I just need a little more refinement

You hear about it, people talk about it, you tell yourself, "Man that never happens."Well, here it is, my sickest poker hand in my entire career. Never thought I would see it, thankfully I was on the winning end. I led out on the flop to get a feel for where everyone was at. On the turn I thought I was golden, if anyone had an overpair I had them crushed. Had no idea I needed to hit

Check out this hand history. If I would have raised the flop, or the turn, all the money would have went in the middle. My read was big pair or top pair, and I was trying to make him think I was on flush draw. I didn't want flush to get there, so the river was actually a bad card for my hand. So best play would have been to get raise in and force him to protect hand. Raise on that flop could

Well, we are all winners in life aren't we ? When it got down to 4, it looked like Mary was going to make a charge for it, but then she went card dead and busted on the bubble :-(Then it looked like Kevin and Willie were going to wait out Marc and go heads up, but Marc would have none of that. He battled from a very short stack to get enough chips to be a threat. Then Willie was out on the ropes

So I guess it's that time. I've got some pics from the 10 year laying around here somewhere. I'll try to dig them up. I pinged some people a while back on FaceBook and MySpace to see who was in charge or knew the lowdown.Of course a simple Google search would not yield what I was looking for. I think 88 was that strange year, just on the cusp of the internet. Only us geeks really knowing what the

Saw Kangaroos, drank wine in the Hunter Valley wine region, got a sunburn in Manly Beach. They had funny signs like, "

Which hand would you rather play ?Hand 1 - 1/2 NL 9 handed table. I have pocket 7's UTG, limp in. Few other limpers, BB pops it to $15. He and I are both deep stacks. I call and go heads up. Dream flop of 7-2-2. BB bets about 1/2 pot into me, I call. Turn is 5. BB bets about 2/3 pot into me, I call. River is 5, board is 7-2-2-5-5.

For almost a year I've been trying to find an elegant way to stream movies to my TV in the bedroom.I started with what I thought was a simple solution. I have Vista Ultimate on the home PC and I said, "hey, I'll just go to Fry's and pickup a Media Center Extender". Well I didn't research it enough and bought something I had to take back because they only offered extenders that worked with MCE2005

I think I'm in lust. Dell's been trying to create some product lust and I think I've fallen in lust with the Dell XPS 420.I've had the same machine for about 4 years. It's a home grown Intel P4 2.80 GHz with 2.5GB RAM and I just upgraded the video to the Nvidia AGP 7800 GS, which is the last of the last new AGP cards. Did all that just so I could play Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2. I've got

Sitting here tonight and uber bored. So just poking around the web looking for comparisons of how much other Americans have saved. Keep hearing about the negative savings rate.Well first we know from this report, that the average balance for all 401K accounts in the US is $121,202. If you are in your 30's (hey that's still barely me !) and have 10-20 years of service the average is $67,002.

So I should have been playing $.10/.25, but that is just too small, not exciting enough. So I said, "Ok 20 buyins, but no lower than $.25/.50 NL."

Eli just sent an updated version of the retirement planner that fixes the date problem. Now you just have to enter your date of birth ! It automagically populates today's date and does the calculation from the current day. Thanks Eli !

I'm a big fan of numbers, especially ones with dollar signs next to them :-) I've always dreamed of retiring early, but the number you need seems to get bigger each year. And the fact that you get the double whammy, years of savings you lose at the beginning, and the longer years you have to make the money last. So if I you were originally planning on retiring at 60 and lived to 80, you got to

Had high hopes last night playing at Mr. R's. But alas, it was nothing but a suckfest. One of those nights where everytime I went to change gears, or had a great hand, nothing going right. No details ... you know I hate the beat stories.But was nice to leave early and catch a beer with one of the guys. Although somebody tell me ... what kind of bar closes at midnight on a Friday night ?!?! ..

So I decided to put some money back in play. Did a little research, asked some questions. It's not super easy to get money in and out anymore. Everybody I talked to seemed to have lots of ideas on how to get money IN, but when I asked "So, how easy has it been to get it OUT ?" ... answers were always, "well it should work this way" ... or .. "well I heard this works"So I'm guessing I wasn't

Finally getting around to putting some pics on the web. Had them on the computer forever and took a bunch with the camera I bought from Matt.

Went to Destin Florida for vacation, highly recommend it. We rent a house within walking distance to the beach, this was the second year. Great to just laze around and relax. Read a bunch of books (only one poker book :-) ... and played some Scrabble, love that game !This time we got to hang out with some good friends, and we also brought the dogs again. They were much better behaved this

Mom always wants to know what I do at work. My sister tells her I just collect a paycheck. She graduated college 2 years before I did, and she's 2 years younger ! I was just staying in longer to get smarter :-)Well every time I try to point my mom to Dell's TechCenter website, she just says, "Honey, I can't get there, can you just put it on your blog ?" ... she still has trouble with right-mouse

WSOP is about to kick off. Getting the fever real bad. Luckily my brain is wired right, or I would pack everything up and go play poker. Most def on my 40th year of birth, I will play in the WSOP. Will probably buy my seat, the old fashioned way. Everybody start saving up for the trip ! .... and it's not next year, all you smart asses.Adam moved to Vegas a couple months back. I think he is

Well, my girlfriend is back in town, so back to not playing as much poker. More fun to hang out with her. Not that I don't like all the smelly guys around the table :-) ... just kidding, only Raouf smells kinda wierd (you know I love you man !)But thanks for the games, I almost stopped playing for a very long time, but read some books and refocused on my game the last 3 weeks.

The VMotion demo I did got picked up as a newsblurb on InfoWorld. I came into work today and was reading through an email that Dell sends out highlighting news articles for the day. Then I scrolled down and read this :If you've never had the opportunity to see VMware's VMotion in action, you might want to check out a video clip published by Dell on its VMware Alliance Center site.

My car is in the latest GM commercial. Exact colors and hood, but I have the 68, no flip up headlights. Hopefully they will use this same car when they promote the '09 Camaros.Then CHA-CHING, money in the bank. So you better start saving now if you want to buy my car.What a beauty.

Since when did Pizza get so damn expensive ?!?!I ordered from one of my favorite places couple of weeks back, they cater a local game I play in, and I love their Greek pizza. But my mouth dropped to the floor when the delivery guy says, "$41.50 .... for one Greek Pizza and a large greek salad".

Yeah, I know this has nothing to do with poker. My first deliverable at my new job got through legal and is posted on the internet now. I've got another paper coming out soon, just needs to get through legal. This demo shows VMware VMotion moving vm's from one blade to another. No loss of connectivity with either the database nor the RDP connection to the vm.http://www.dell.com/techcenter/ --

Settling into the new job, Quiznos is going well, found a little bit of time to play some poker. When I play I like to play long sessions. I think sometimes I enjoy the comrade more than the play. But of course it is always good to win !So I'm playing all night, up and down, just waiting to get involved in a big pot with a huge hand. So the game is about to break, I bought in for $350 and am

I get email from time to time about the Quiznos business from potential owners. They do a bunch of research on the web, and I'm sure the find all the truely negative sites, I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader instead of posting links to them. I just responded to one, and I pretty much give the same advice in every email I respond to, so I'm posting the response here to help out others.~

The impending retirement of all the baby boomers is quite exciting and unnerving at the same time. I really feel that anyone not prepping themselves for the workforce, social security, and

So I left PartyPoker. Took all my money and put in on FullTilt. They are giving away more seats to the WSOP than anyone. And if you win your seat from them and win the whole thing, they kick in $10M !Also, you get to play with the pros if you want. The tables that they are on are highlighted in red, and they use their real names, and have customer avatars :-) ... only 1,000,000 more FullTile
