Saturday 6/26 was a day of nonstop adventure with Team Moshman. The day began with ATVing in the desert. It ended with some $1-$2 no-limit hold'em cash game action at the MGM. Of my 9 opponents at the table, 3 of them were Team Moshman members, but the rest of the table was exploitable enough where I ...

I finally had a chance to catch up with Collin Moshman and some members of Team Moshman over the weekend. If you don't know who Collin is, you probably live in a deeper cave than the one I live in. Okay, I'll admit that was a tad harsh. However, Collin has written some great poker books, and ...

It's been 6 days since my last blog post, and it's been raining a bunch in Vegas. I miss the sun, but it's stupid to complain about rain here; we need every damn drop of water we can get!
Meanwhile, John Vorhaus (JV) was in town over the weekend. He played in a celebrity charity event for the Heartland ...

Evelyn and I are still settling into the new place. I finally unpacked my video games, and I introduced Evelyn to Duck Hunt for the original NES.

My move from So. Cal to Las Vegas has been relatively successful so far. Many people seem to think that my move was poker-related. It wasn't.
