This not a post, but is since well I'm typing here but not the one that I wanted to refute the notion of a book my wife is reading that claims money does not give individuals a life advantage over those who do not have such sums for better housing/education/brand-name soap. I suppose life is what you make it, but money allows opens doors to the clearer path versus having to step on nails while finding a way to scrap by.
Wanted to throw a little link love for three friends that I hope to see this summer sometime and hope their newest ventures:
- Dr. Pauly is back with a novel that I've heard about ever since I met this soul several years ago at the Plaza as he continues to be one of the very reasons I don't shut-down this slice of the internet entirely while trying to fit 25 hours of work into 24 hours of the day. If Jack Bauer can do it, so can I. And so can Pauly who after his success with Lost Vegas presents Jack Tripper Stole My Dog (book purchase linkage here) and I'm also pleased to see he is returning to Vegas for the WSOP this summer....
- ... and three of my friends will be working together for RISE Poker which comes at a time after Black Friday showing some hope to the post-US online poker wasteland that players have options (even if it isn't 12-tabling 6-max PLO until the handle of Captain says "please stop pouring me" at 2am). F-Train and Change100 will be in Vegas for the WSOP along side Chops of Wicked Chops Poker fame rounding out their all-star WSOP coverage crew (if I'm missing anyone it's because its early in the morning and I haven't had my caffeine yet).
Ok, back to the grind and not mentioning my decent degen gambling weekend as I won a Vegas plane ticket worth of ducats playing slots and pull tabs... a sign to go?

I agree with your comment about money. Maybe money can't buy happiness but it can make being miserable a lot more comfortable.
The one small downside, is that there are not too many of each table. I have never had much difficulty finding a chair, but I could see it being a problem on busy weekends.
because they cannot complete their $50 million cubical maze without an OSHA sign off on the lifts. He puts head down, gets it done without flair, without demands, without extra needs. He could expense bigger hotels, better meals, but chooses to pack a lunch/dinner with chocolate chip bars from my mom while staying in a place that's no more than a bed to lay down on after making things right at the job site for 12-14 hours then comes back home to be an on-call help desk.
I think most folks who have read this humble poker blog over the years realize that I'm much more comfortable being Oz behind the curtain.
Strange still get live coverage of the Internet, blogs, and poker, the game was only log amateur players who became Gonzo.
Even stranger is the culture of live coverage on the Internet and blogs about poker, started only as GAMELOGS for amateur players who became Gonzo.
I’m impressed, I must say. Actually rarely do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining.
Some poker blogs focus on discussing strategy and the author's experience at the tables, while others focus on poker news around the world.
Poker is a family of card games that share betting rules and usually (but not always) hand rankings. Poker games differ in how the cards are dealt, how hands may be formed, whether the high or low hand wins the pot in a showdown (in some games, the pot is split between the high and low hands), limits on bet sizes, and how many rounds of betting are allowed.
