Today is the start of my vacation. I have a few projects, but the majority of my time will be spent traveling, playing poker, drinking and relaxing.

My 14 YO daughter passed the test for her permit yesterday. I'm taking her out in the country to let her drive for the first time...GG life, obviously...

Enjoy m8. That is what it is all about

Daddy's are there to do daddy things, and as much as you can.

A day of firsts...

Teaching my daughter how to drive:



LOL, at how far forward the seat is:



I baked a cake from scratch and it turned out.

Classic way ahead or way behind...

I had a blast playing my first live NLHE...we spent 3 nights at the casino

Day one: no poker...this was the first time in 9 days the game hasn't gone

Day two: my wife and I entered a $60 buy-in tourney 95 players, we both made the final table and chopped with 6 players remaining for $673 each...my wife was the chip leader coming to the final table with 59K. I had a good cash game day too...9 hours $468... it was a busy day but we found time to take in the all you can eat seafood buffet...awesome

Day three: 13.5 hours of play $264...I lost a big pot (+200 BB) right at the end of my session when my middle set got snapped off by a runner runner str8.

I decided to pay for the trip with funds from the BR and adding the 1K it pushed the BR past the 5K mark again. Now, if I could figure how to win online again that would be terrific.

Nice little confidence building morning session...


I need to mow the lawn for the first time this year...going to do some additional yard work and try to grind out another 1500+ hands today.

I might have to break out the camera and FTP jersey for Mac
