June 21, 2023: Too Rich
I don’t only play poker in Vegas; I like the other table games too. Yeah, I’ll throw some money in some slots too, because, you know, when in Rome… but always feel like that’s a waste of money. Of course, … Continued
June 20, 2023: Day One
Day One in Vegas does not usually go well… I think it’s just the excitement, being overanxious, to gamble and eventually lose my money. So many rough stories about the first day/night in Vegas… I can’t even recall them all. … Continued
June 19, 2023: Switching Gears
In case you were wondering, my Draft Kings account is still alive. With my balance sitting at $10, you may think “no big deal”, but just remember, I was at $3 a few weeks ago, so… Dollar here, dollar there… … Continued
June 18, 2023: Teaser

June 15, 2023: Father’s Day Open
As the US Open was starting on Thursday, I had my own “Open” to participate in; let’s call it, the Father’s Day Open. My dad coined the term for this gathering with his two sons and one son-in-law, but this … Continued
June 14, 2023: Two Ships

June 13, 2023: CBT
The Vegas Golden Knights captured their first Stanley Cup on Tuesday night, defeating the Florida Panthers in 5 games. Vegas was going nuts! Good for them I say. Normally, I’m not a fan of a new franchise winning it all; … Continued
June 12, 2023: Digging Deep
Oh how I love baseball. I love playing it. I love watching it. I love coaching it. Yes, there is the whole “Football is King”, and growing up w/MJ and the Bulls, basketball isn’t too far behind for me, but … Continued
