Celebrating Jesus at the Casino

13 April, 2008 (21:10) | i like gambling, i like poker, i hate everything | No comments

Easter weekend was surprisingly light in AC. I guess there are more devout C&E Catholics here than I expected.
I headed out once again with the same couple I went with on Chinese New Year. At the last minute, they talked a friend into going and driving with us. Now I’m not one to envy cars, […]

Poker content?

4 March, 2008 (23:32) | i like poker | No comments

Once upon a time I used to play poker constantly. Somehow while playing 5-6 games of soccer per week and holding down a full-time job I could still find the time to play 15-20 hours of poker per week. Moving to NY definitely changed how much I could play, but UIGEA is what […]

Chinese New Year’ed

16 February, 2008 (02:06) | i like gambling, i like poker | No comments

Or alternatively titled, “AC by way of Philadelphia”.
For my Chinese New Year AC trip I hooked up with some friends from work who happened to be going as well, which was awesome because they let me stay in their room on Saturday night so I didn’t have to suffer the late night Saturday bus ride […]

Lake Tahoe x-mas

7 January, 2008 (22:47) | i like gambling, i like poker, from the road | No comments

Oh yeah, I went to Lake Tahoe for x-mas. It is absolutely gorgeous there as you can see. I went with Jason, Balki, and Ezra. Here’s the trip in notable quotes:
“You are a bottle of jack away from closing that deal.”
“You need to start having sex with strangers.”
“I am a serial monogamist.”
“No […]

Craps for poker players

15 September, 2007 (14:23) | i like gambling, i like poker, i hate everything | No comments

I play a lot of craps. If I start playing craps and I’m winning (or within a reasonable amount of losses) I’d rather keep playing than change games to get some poker in.
The Borgata is currently holding a big poker tournament (WPT Poker Open). To catch some of the action walking out of the poker […]

AC Slater and Friends

12 May, 2007 (01:32) | i like gambling, i like poker | No comments

Another abandoned post, this time definitely from April 29th.
Last weekend I returned to AC with a clusterfuck of friends. Nine people total celebrating the end of bachelorhood for a friend. This was my first bachelor party, ever. I’ve always found the idea of them to be odd. Really, if I’m going to be married I […]

AC - the two day adventure

12 May, 2007 (01:31) | i like gambling, i like poker | No comments

I should really put dates on these blog posts when I start writing them, because it always takes me so long to get them out of the phone and onto my blog because I completely forget about them for weeks. I believe I wrote this on Sunday April 22nd. I can’t be positive.
I […]

The Jackson Family

8 April, 2007 (23:11) | i like poker | No comments

On my last trip to AC (and by last I mean probably three trips ago) I was determined to get some poker in at the Borgata. After three hours at the craps table at Caesar’s, they raised the limit to $25 signalling that it was time for me to leave. I cabbed it over to […]

how stella got her groove back

21 February, 2007 (23:28) | i like gambling, i like poker | No comments

I’ve had this post in my phone for a while, but apparently my grasp of technology is not yet good enough to actually get it back out in a timely fashion.
AC - Round 2
After my first successful AC trip, I decided that going right back the following weekend would be a good idea. Once […]
