Training, Arrival, and the art of Survival

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Man, that was tiring. For those of you who are unaware, the couple of weeks was taken up by RA Training and resident arrival here on campus. What that meant for me was basically very very little time for myself, and a lot of work. To top it all off, I signed up for duty […]

Yay RA Training!

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

Somewhere around a few days ago, you may have started to ask yourself, “Where did Mike go?” While it may appear that I’ve disappeared–given that I’ve not been on IM, or posting, or showing up places, or calling people–I am, in fact, still here. Sort of. It’s RA training time! This past Sunday, the RAs […]

Live by The Jimmy, Die by The Jimmy

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

So today was an up and down day in poker for me. Down in the cash realm, and nice and up in the Tourney realm. I started at the 1/2 limit tables, but really didn’t get too many good starting hands, and many of those good ones went sour on the flop. But being down […]

A Weekend of Tournament Adventure

Monday, August 7th, 2006

I have to say that this has been a pretty good weekend. Angela is away in Florida, which sucks, but that gives me more free time for a little game called poker. My PokerStars bankroll had gotten a little low, and I didn’t want to transfer in any more cash, really, as last week was […]

I won!

Friday, August 4th, 2006

I played in the wwdn blogger tourney this evening. Contrary to what the title of this post might lead you to believe, I did not win the tourney. I finished in 12th place out of 22. [I’d like to note that I got my chips in when I was ahead on the last hand 🙂 […]

New Toy

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Recently my desktop keyboard had an unfortunate encouter with…. well, the wall. After that incident I had been using an older keyboard that I had laying around. This old keyboard sucked. The ‘B’ key wasn’t always responsive, sometimes requiring a truely unreasonable level of force in order to activiate. The other main (and maybe even […]

It’s gone!

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

For the last 26 months, I’ve lived life shackled. Wherever I went, whatever I was doing, I was chained. Whether I was in the office or on vacation, I was never without a constant reminder of my indentured status. Yesterday, however, I was able to cast off the cruel instrument of my oppression. The dreaded […]

So, the main event of the World Series of Poker is on. Day 1a was yesterday. Yes, Day 1a. There are 4 day 1’s. Yes, 4. Why? Well, because there’s something like over 8600 entries this year. Just 3 years ago, there were 839 entries in the 2003 WSOP Main Event–the $10,000 buy-in No Limit […]

The $2.5 Million Moneymaker Freeroll.

Monday, July 24th, 2006

A few weeks ago, after observing Mr. Jeremy in a few tournaments on Poker Stars, I switched from Party Poker to Poker Stars. The rakes and tournement fees charged by Poker Stars are less than that of Party, it’s a more attractive interface (with several different available themes), and there seem to be just as […]

Blog lives, AntiDJ dies

Friday, July 21st, 2006

theantidj.net, lonely and abandonned for so long. It sat here on the web with no purpose, save for collecting unreasonable numbers of comments from blog spammers trying to sell us on online poker and viagra subsitutes. Why has the mighty theantidj.net been so neglected by its creator? The answer is simple. The AntiDJ is gone. […]
