Ebook Update

I'm almost done editing my Ebook "Trouble in Atlantic City".  Now I need to work on adding chapter breaks and general formatting.   Started writing it 2 years ago, who knew it was so much work involved in writing a story!  Plan on having it on sale on Amazon and Barnes & Noble within a few weeks.  I will be selling it for $6.99, well worth the price for all the work  put into it.  Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony

Carbon Poker

I've been playing a lot of low limit short handed HE on Carbon Poker lately.  The games are soft but the swings are huge!  Bad thing is I win 80% of my sessions but loose almost as much in the 20% of losing ones.  It's like 2 steps forwarded and 2 steps back.  The 35% Rake back I get is where all my profit comes from.  It's been snowing hard for the last 2 hours here on the East Coast.  Don't hurt your backs shoveling it up!  Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony

Happy Holidays

Hope everyone had a great Holiday break!  Thanks for reading and good luck all.

Micro Limit Tournament Cash

Just played my first Online MTT in over a month.  I cashed in it, came in 12th out out 100 players.  It was on Carbon Poker at the super micro level.  Well a cash is a cash.  My MTT play is rusty but at this level just ABC Poker is enough to go deep.  Have only one more thing to pick up for Christmas today.  BTW - I rented "Savages" last night on my Nook HD+.  Wow great movie, very violent but another one well done by Oliver Stone.  Happy holidays all.  Tony

More Christmas Shopping

We are going out today to finish off our shopping.  No shopping is as ever bad as he weekend before Christmas.  Not looking forward to it, wish me luck.  It's been a tough couple of weeks so this is why I am not finished yet.  Between all the craziness in the news and my brother being in the hospital I just haven't been in the shopping mood.  Good luck to everyone out there today.  Tony

Christmas Shopping

This has been one of the busiest years for us, in a long time.  We haven't even started our Christmas shopping!  I like to be done by this time of the year. Instead we will have to wait on the lines with the parents and the crying kids, Lol.  On a more somber note, what a terrible tragedy that took place in Connecticut yesterday.  Why average citizens are allowed to legally buy guns that CIA and FBI agents use is beyond me!  I am all for our right to bear arms but a Glock and Sig Saucer?? WTF, why does an average citizen need an AK-47 or Uzi??  NRA  has way too much power in our country, end rant.  Tony

Nook HD+

This post was done from my new Nook HD+.  Just got it and love it! Totally recomend it as a more affordable tablet choice to the Ipad.  Less than half the price and awesome graphics. Thanks for reading. Tony

Bad Day on Online Poker

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes right playing Online Poker?  Yesterday was one on those for me.  I lost 44BBs playing for 2 hours.  Felt like they either always got there on the river or I was against a flopped set with my top 2 pairs.  It's just all part of the variance of playing Limit HE.  Today things are going well for me.  Just have to remember its all one long game and ignore a few days bad results.  One thing I have noticed is I always lose on days I am playing sick.  Think I okay too aggressive on these days.  Oh well, live and learn.  Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony
