I think that your on the right track, It will not be easy, but your are a talented fellow and I hope you and yours do well.
I have always loved your blog and I think that you should write novels, novels about this poker pro. who works as a detective in vegas.

Write the first short story and post it.

Thanks Mike. I do recall times when you have been on the verge of diving off a parking garage. I guess we all have been there.

First, let me thank you for listening to the show. As bad as you found our show to be...I am just as impressed with your amazing ability to spell. As for what were we thinking? Well, I can't speak for what Scott is/was thinking...but I pretty much was just thinking...'ask good questions' and 'let my guests finish their thoughts.' Awkward? Well...yeah...I find life pretty awkward. I do appreciate you being embarrassed for us though. Without your pity and sympathy...I would probably not be able to muster the desire to get out of bed tomorrow morning.

If you are the fluff, does that make me the fluffer? And Lock has sent our paychecks, uh McDonalds gift certificates. I am still hopeful that "if you build it, they will come".

Excellent blog and in-sight to being a tourney grinder and all the emotions that come with playing this crazy game. For someone like me, who thinks about playing this game full-time; you were able to capture the life of a player that does this for a living and questions if this is the road one should continue on. Getting back up on your feet after being knocked down repeatedly is the hardest thing to do in life. Life is short as we all know, and at least you have "went for it" on the tournament trail and doing something you believe in. Recharge, reorganize, and evaluate what is best for you and the family. Best of luck.

A bit of humility serves us all well, and it looks good one you, too, sir. You have a beautiful wife and new baby: riches far more valuable than any circuit ring. You will find your way because you are able to tell yourself the truth, and understand what's really important. So many in this silly business are never able to do that. I wish you the very best. Oh, and keep Carly off the pole. ;)

2012-05-23T13:23:00.795-05:00

Even if it means "admitting defeat" (and I think maybe that's what you might be struggling with, which any man would when they are thinking "I need to provide for my family") a 2-3 year break from tournament poker might just cures what ales you. You sound fried, beat up, lost the spark, not having fun anymore. A little time off and income stability might be just what you need to get that spark/drive/passion for poker again.

On the non-serious side of this comment I love the idea of tag-team poker. I think a tag-team heads-up event would be kind of fun and a new dynamic to poker.

If someone does not buy your wsop package are you still gonna head to vegas and play. What if someone was willing to chip in $2500-$5000 to buy a piece are you selling shares or just the whole package?

NEWS FLASH!!!! Kai is the the anonymous sewage spewer, just for kicks; at least that's what he told me. Says you love it...... Just kidding, Kai.
If someone does tap you on the shoulder in N.O., take it to the street, as you well know, they love the 86 ban hammer over there.

Thanks Coach. I know I'm not supposed to let 'certain' things people say upset, or affect me...and mostly I don't. But there are some things I hear, and man...I just want to find the guy and kick the shit out of him.

I get this at MSN when I play free poker to stay sharp. People can sign in and play as 'guests' if they don't go through the process of getting an account with a screen name, and the 'guests' always have the most to say. You know that these are people who have NEVER said anything to anyone's face in real life... :)
