I will be presenting one or two featured blogs that will contain information on a different business,…

It was another long day for the DCW Motorsports team, we left the house at 730am to head to the track, both boys were reeving and ready to hit the asphalt, after meeting with the Dions (who i give all the credit for the boys cars handling so well) our caravan of trucks and trailers were on the road to the track. 

For DJ in the 22 the day started with the words " dad i don't have my helmet" lucky for him the wife had just texted that her work had canceled and she was coming to the…

As mentioned in my first entry, my job was being eliminated. I also posted that I work for a good company. Well now I have been promoted to a regional position. Good for cash flow, bad for poker experiment as far as live game action. Good news is I will be traveling to Florida (live poker) Mobile Alabama (Biloxi Baby) and Louisville Kentucky (live games?).

I have always been what I consider a breakeven player with a slight advantage on some nights that make up winnings. Quite honestly I win a lot of hands and lose just a few less.

The first practice of the year is always an adventure, this year was it was even more exciting than normal. With our 10 year old rookie driver Hans in the 02 and 3rd season driver Dj in the 22 we were at both ends of the spectrum of fast and slow. 

The rookie Hans started out slow but picked up as the day went along and his confidence and comfort built up, starting the day with lap in the 24 second range and endinig with a best of 19.257 seconds, he only ended up in the infield mowing…

"What does poker break down to in the long run? Most of the money you make comes from somebody's mistakes. Good players also make mistakes, but they make fewer of them." T. J.Cloutier

I have read several books where they say, "Embrace The Bad Beat."  If you are getting bad beats this means you are getting your money in as a favorite.  The job of a poker player is to get your money in good and make your opponent make mistakes. So if you are getting bad beats you are doing your job and you shouldn't be upset.



Really?



I started a little monthly poker league in 2005.  There is a 24 player limit and we toss in $20.00 and we have had the same guys playing…
