DOYLISM OF THE DAY: “He who buries his talent is making a grave mistake.”

Well, I thought I would be pulling for Phil Ivey and Jeff Shulman at the WSOP final table. But when Daniel wanted to bet Ivey over Moon, I had to take Moon who has 5 times the chips of Ivey. It is a must-win bet so probably we won’t have action. Sorry Phil, I won’t [...]

2nd thoughts

What the hell was I thinking yesterday? Planning to drive 2 hours to play a live $400 limit tournament was probably an indicator that I just running bad online. Now that I think about it I’d rather get a lap dance from Rossie O’donnel after she crushed 4lbs of barbecue ribs, than play [...]

DOYLISM OF THE DAY: “Arguments are a poor chisel to carve out solutions.”

After a week long trip to Texas for my induction in the Athletic Hall of Fame at my alma mater, Hardin Simmons University, I’m back home and it’s going to take a nuclear bomb to get me out of Vegas until next year. I had a great time visiting with old classmates, some of whom [...]
