Just got back from Vegas.  Had a great time while I was out there.  I got out to Albequerque on Tuesday around 4 pm.   The gf had a job interview so I waited for he to get done from that.  I hung out with my gf’s mom for a few.  We got to know each other and what have you.  Her mom is taller than I which only gives me a mild complex(ok… yeah… a lot of people are taller than you when you’re only 5-8… you got me there).  I’m pretty sure she could kick my ass but she seems to like me so I think I’m in the clear.   :)  Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve had a good last couple of days at the tables.  I have been cleaning up some parts of my gaming where I was getting a little overly aggressive preflop .  I’ve settled in pretty nicely and have had myself in not nearly as many marginal spots.  It feels a lot better.

I have actually be kind of auto-piloting some stuff over the last couple of months.  I am starting to get back into really looking at my game and improving again.  I think we all go through times where we get lazy for a bit for whatever reason (mine was a bad case of life).  It’s human nature to an extent, but I still don’t like letting myself do it.  I’m really looking forward to the rest of ‘09.  I feel like my game will be sharp and I will get a lot more happiness in.

Other than that I’m planning to start getting everything done for Vegas preparing tomorrow.  I have to pay some bills, pick up some random hygeine sorta stuff :), and of course do laundry and pack.  Every day that passes I get more and more pumped about going out there.  It’s been a year and a half since I’ve been out there and that is just entirely too long.

I’m going to make a concerted effort to start blogging more often from here on out.  I’ve had a lot of changes in my life in the last year and  things have finally started settling down to the point where I feel I can start putting some more effort into blogging here again.

What’s on the front…

I’m heading out to Vegas on Tuesday the 23rd with my girlfriend.  Totally stoked  to get out of Indiana for a week to relax, have a good time, play some poker, see the sites, etc..  The main cause of excitement is In ‘N Out Burger, seeing the Grand Canyon, and of course seeing her.   I’ve been to the Grand Canyon once when I was a wee lad and remember it being incredibly beautiful.  I’m also planning on hitting up the Deuces Cracked home game on the 24th at the Venetian.  So if you see some dude running around with long curly hair that’ll be me!  :)  All and all it should be a pretty awesome week so I can’t wait for Tuesday to get here!

My “Overestiming Your Implied Odds” article has been published in the June 2009 issue of Bluff Magazine(featuring Daniel Negreanu on the cover).  You will find the article in the Deucescrack.com section.  It begins on page 112.  Obviously it is a huge honor to be published in a nationally distributed magazine.  Many thanks goes out to all the people who encouraged my poker study and writing.  Also, a big thanks goes out to Joe Tall for submitting it to “Bluff”.

Definitely check it out if you are in a book store!

Sounded Simple wrote this for me a while back.  It creates a new random number each time the mouse button is clicked.  It is an Auto Hot Key script, so you will need to have that installed for it to work properly.
