An evening at Seabrook’s Poker Room-
Image by Philofoto via Flickr Last evening, I spent over 4 hours playing $2/4 limit at the poker room at the Seabrook Greyhound racing track. They no longer race dogs, but have Poker with the rake going to charities in NH. There are tourneys, Sit N Go;s and and cash games with Limit Hold ‘Em, [...]
Woe is me
Image by dotbenjamin via Flickr I have been stuck of late and this week I was not feeling up to par. But still, I was looking forward to playing on Full Tilt Poker at the Twitter Poker Tour. Both events are No Limit Hold ‘Em and the entry fee is 5.00 + 1.00. We each [...]
Now a New York Times Bestseller ….
How often can a “dad” announce that his son has co-authored a book that became a “NYT Bestseller” in just three days of being officially released? I really don’t know the actual answer to that but in my case, Chris Brogan’s new book, “Trust Agents” by Chris and Julien Smith has become a best seller [...]
Down … but not out …
Image by mellyjean via Flickr My current spell of quietness is not the result of nothing to say or talk about, but, rather I am under the weather. I usually like to blog, mostly about poker, five days a week, every week, when possible. I have not yet got to the point in my blogging [...]

Random poker thoughts … after a couple of home games
Image by scmtngirl via Flickr I got the chance last night to play No Limit Hold – tourney style at the Boston Social Media Poker Tour held in Watertown, MA and hosted by Kevin. He tries to run the event monthly, but it is hard to get people in the summer to commit to a [...]
If a picture is worth a 1,000 words – how much is an avatar worth?
Image by Pieter Musterd via Flickr LatelyI have been playing Limit Hold ‘Em cash games at DoylesRoom. In previous posts I have commented on the fact that I would see the same player act differently on different days and at different times of the day. I thought originally that the person was sharing the user [...]
Pay now for rewards later – hmmm?
Image via Wikipedia Last night I played at the Limit Hold ‘Em cash table on line at DoylesRoom. The highest game available, with a full table of 9 players, was in the .50/1.00 limits so I reserved a seat and waited until one was available. My usual mode of play is a bit “Nitty” at [...]
A day off from poker …
Image by pyrator via Flickr Yesterday I took a day off from poker. That means that I did not play poker either online or at a poker room. I had planned to work on mowing the lawn or cleaning out the garage. But it was too hot and humid to do any of these things. [...]
