Shifting Gears
A brief side-note: I’m glad to be here. Twenty four hours ago I was doubting that possibility due to a head that was ringing like I’d just left the bell tower Notre Dame at high noon and a body that … Continue reading
The Big Dipper
I was snug in the little car, safely tucked at the side of my father. The seat-belt was fastened and the big padded bar lowered to our laps. I’d made a dash for the first car the second the attendant … Continue reading
Perspectives – poker and otherwise
Years ago when I was in grad school I took a photography class. My instructor imparted a bit of wisdom one day, that I’ve found to be applicable to more than just shooting pictures. Simply, he said “Change perspective.”
Got no poker ballz
A couple of weeks ago, in a fit of angst, I slammed shut the Harrington I’d been plodding through, placed it unceremoniously atop my burgeoning stack of poker books on the desk next to my bed and banished said pile … Continue reading
Neteller Trims Service to Canada & Turkey
The ship is sinking and, frankly, I feel for anyone currently holding shares in (or even employed by) Neteller. If suspension of trading is ever released, I will set the line at fifteen minutes for the company to slip below … Continue reading
Some mostly good poker…
Maybe it was a little inspiration from Lakisha Jones on American Idol, or maybe it was the chapters of Harrington on Holdem III I’ve been studying, or maybe the poker gods just decided to shine a pen light my way…
The sun’ll come out…
Oh boy. Re-reading my wanderings of the last post, I’m wondering if a line hasn’t been set on which window from which floor of what tall building out of which I will jump.
Doyle Brunson not arrested??
Nope, Doyle Brunson wasn’t arrested. I’m relieved and, I’m sure, Doyle is, too.
Out with Neteller, In with Wirecard
A tiny flicker of light in the void that the Neteller debacle has created seems to be igniting across the seas. I got the tip over at Jen Leo’s – Wirecard appears to be coming to the rescue to US … Continue reading

I’m assuming Full Tilt, but I’m not sure…
If you’re like me, you may be feeling a bit isolated. It’s like being snowed in with no way to get over to the other side of town, let alone down the street.
I have funds at one site, now – Full Tilt – seeing as how it’s impossible for me to deposit, that’s it for me until this country regains some sanity… yup, I’ll be dead and scattered to the winds before that happens, I’m thinking.
Full Tilt is sweetening the pot – quite literally. In an effort to retain my business, they dropped a $100 NO deposit bonus on me. I’m not complaining. I am, however, a captive audience, so to speak, so I’m grateful for the boon.
So come on out and donk around with the bloggers. It’s always fun and challenging in its own quirky way.
