Every few months I stumble across another cool creative WESC thing…

Thoughts on 2010

January 19, 2010

The end of 2009 saw the crazy poker world erupt with million dollar pots becoming a regular occurance.  2010 will surely amount to some more crazy degenerate behavior.  Personally, I’m looking forward to a new year, with a renewed sense of purpose for both my personal, professional, and poker lives.  After a self imposed hiatus from virtually all online play in 2009, I’m looking forward to grinding again…just need to find the time, and balance that time with other things life has to offer.

PROP goals: revised site, with a few new product offerings coming in spring/summer 2010

Personal goals: get married

Professional goals: become a better listener, and care more about others than my own selfish advancement.

Good luck to you and your goals for the year.

PS..only fitting that this ‘new year’s resolution’ style post is about 3 weeks late – poker players tend to procrastinate don’t we??

Aviation Club

July 24, 2009

So I have a trip to Paris coming up…and where would any self respecting poker player go but the Aviation Club?

It will be interesting to see how the games play, but my guess is the poker learning curve is flattening worldwide due to training sites, and online play being mixed internationally.

The Aviation Club was created in 1907 by a group of…you guessed it…aviators.

Not to worry, I will definitely have my sweet poker shades available for play.  GL me.


Sick Shirt – Johnny Cupcakes

July 19, 2009

Johnny Cupcakes is rad – cool shirts, cool brand, and a crazy cult following.  I really like this shirt, trying to figure out how to get one without flying to Boston to watch a movie.


Watson’s shot at the British Open

July 19, 2009

This guy is amazing…he always does well at the British Open.

I really hope he wins…6 holes to go, might as well.


Ivey – You da f’cking best

July 19, 2009

Perhaps the best thing that could happen to poker, Ivey in the November 9. A shot to legitimize the game…it’s more than just luck. He’s a lot mysterious, and certainly regarded as the best to play the game. A fearless, rich, degen…who only wants one thing: to win.  For the guy that crushes the highest stakes games, and will play anyone, at any game, at any time…I’d say him winning this tournament would certainly help make poker perceived as more of a skill game.

I can’t wait to see how high he starts playing at the craps table. He might just break Vegas.  The headlines will read: Ivey wins $1B playing craps at the Wynn – steve wynn transfers ownership….or something like that.  

It was funny to hear when Ivey was asked by reporters: How will you deal with the oncoming media storm?  Ivey: I’m going to change my cell number and leave the country.  (Pause, followed by awkward reporter laughter)  Ivey: I’m serious.

Where’s Ivey?

Price is Right Mountain Climber

June 3, 2009

Whenever I see this game on the Price is Right I get excited.  While perhaps not as popular as the infamous Plinko, this game is great. 

For those who haven’t seen it – a contestant must guess the price of three products – for every dollar they are off, the mountain climber climbs.  Get all three within $50 (I think??) and you win the big prize.  The anticipation on the last product price climb is ever so strong.

I think it is a lot like the poker world, you start at the bottom, climb up the ladder, and fall off a cliff at the end!


PROP Player – Hassan Babajane

June 3, 2009

Don’t worry, he’s not a terrorist…but he’s a few spots out of the money in the first WSOP $1500 event.  Day 2 starts today with about 330 people left, down from 2700ish and he is sitting around 20k chips which is 1/2 of the average…we definitely wish him luck!

Huck Seed Emotionless After Winning $500k

May 20, 2009

Another example of the sickness we have for playing poker:

Huck Seed wins $500,000 in the NBC Heads Up Championship and says during his winner’s interview, when asked how he feels: “I’m glad you asked that question, because I have had trouble expressing my emotions in the past…when I won the WSOP I didn’t feel anything.”  He doesn’t elaborate (perhaps due to a shitty NBC edit) but either way…it’s just another day at the office.

Neat.
