Stress v Anxiety

2009-09-18T13:37:00.002-04:00

If anyone has ever happened upon my blog, what you do know is that I always try and put myself out there, for better or worse. Let me stay true to that.

With apologies to our Fed Reserve chief, we're at or near the bottom of a pretty rotten economic climate. It's been bad since Q3 of 2008, and I don't expect it to get a much better for the US as a whole until Q1 2011. My logic is fairly simple: Fiscal 2011 budgets are being made now, and executives will remain conservative regarding headcount and budgets. Also, the policy curbs that company's have put in place regarding expenses and spending won't be lifted any time soon.

One of my strengths is to always see the glass as three-quarters full rather than half empty. It's gotten me through tough times when I was employed at large company's, and it's helped us weather big storms (including post-9/11, when no one wanted to talk to anyone about consulting for quite a long time).

This economic collapse, however, left me with my shorts at my ankles.

I blindly stumbled into a client that has kept me extremely busy since December. It has been a very good thing as we've had very strong billings since. But it also brought to light a big gap between my wife and me. This gap is kind of complicated, but let me explain it.

My wife I'm pretty sure is smarter than I am, and I like to think I'm very smart (she has a BS in Chemistry as well as a BS in Chemical Engineering). Once we had our boys, she decided she wanted to stay home with them. And she is a great mother who is a big help to the boys and to me. She does the finances for our company, helps with the new soccer club (now in its third season), as well as takes care of everything.

I've dutifully been the breadwinner who shields her from most stuff. She patiently let me go through my three years of being engrossed poker, both playing and blogging/writing about it. She then let me move onto starting the soccer club. As Summer approached, she was on to planning for the logistics of taking the boys here and there, etc. I started feeling more and more alone, and became resentful I think for the first time in our marriage.

It was a very difficult series of weeks. I was five hours away most of the time, and I was struggling with our relationship for the first time since we were married eighteen years ago. The few folks I confided in laughed that "...it took you this long..." For me, I became very concerned. I didn't want for us to transition into a new type of marriage, a new phase of our relationship.

I think that we've made it through the end of this tunnel. I know she understands where I am now and the risks there. We had a great meeting with our accountant (I've never really done that), and he actually helped frame what I'm going through. I've had my company for eleven years, and I'm basically still self-employed rather than having built a company.

We also had some tough discussions about my faith and our church. I don't feel connected there, and she has been very involved in a Discipleship group as well as in the Children's ministry. I think she went through a period of time where she felt I was broken and needed to be fixed. I definitely feel that I am broken, but I don't think there is one-size-fits-all way to cure me. Sara Groves says it like this in one of her songs, "I am just a seeker too, in search of God."

So anyways, as this big project comes to a close, the anxiety starts anew for me. It is a different class now, how do I capitalize on this, can I build a company that can sustain us? I seem to have talents and can do great things. Can I exploit these?

And can I find happiness and fulfillment through what I do for a living? That seems to be one of the macro-conclusions from my four years of poker and soccer, that I can't find fulfillment through my work and consequently dive into other things.

I don't know the answers. I'm hoping to post at the other blogs that I spent alot of money designing, but this will be our secret place if that's OK.

Boo!!

2009-09-17T15:12:00.002-04:00

So I haven't blogged at my new digs in more than six months, so I thought I'd hit this for what it's worth. I depleted my online bankroll through withdrawals and poor play about a year ago, and I spent my live bankroll as I quit playing. I'll occasionally goof around on FT with my two-figure bankroll or play the random SNG or Steps on Stars.

I've been in a high state of stress lately, and I'm thinking of playing more in the coming weeks. If I jump in, I'll document it here. I'm open to ideas for a new venture when it comes to poker, whether it's depositing a certain amount and grinding, focusing on one thing or another, etc. From the little I've played lately, it does look like the play in general has tightened up. I don't know if that's the case or not, but just glancing at table stats it seems so.

I'm also thinking about heading to Vegas in December, but that seems so far away. I've had some real problems thinking about anything in the future as it seems to bring on the anxious emotions. Am I alone? I'd be interested to know.

I don't know if this site is even monitored, but there you go. I'll be doing more on my other sites as well, but think of this as more of a PSA than anything.

Moving Day: Find Me @ C2 Choices

2008-05-14T12:10:00.003-04:00

We're done enough with the new design, so you can head over to C2 Choices and find me from now on. Update your links if you don't mind, and I can't wait to hear what you think! You can email me if needed at csquard@gmail.com.

My Last Blogger Post (ok, Next to Last)

2008-05-13T10:56:00.002-04:00

I'm closing on my third year anniversary of this blog. It started as a poker blog to share my terrific, rocket-like advancement in my poker prowess.

That was the first day.

I then moved onto sharing what it felt like to lose my bankroll. Maybe you've never experienced that or don't remember it. There is this cold sweat that develops over your chest, down your arm, then ultimately to the mouse that you've vice-gripped in your fist. The mouse has come a long way in three years as this post-bankroll-clearing last hand trauma normally would yield a broken mouse or monitor. The hand details are somewhere in the recesses of my hard drive and brain I'm sure, but the typical final hand was either preceded by a flopped straight taking out my overpair or someone calling my raise with some horrific hand out of position then flopping trips or two pair.

Then this site changed as I changed. Poker became a metaphor for the struggles in my life. To an outsider, it might have appeared like poker was cause. It's never been that, just as the TV or eating or surfing the web or any of the number of time-consuming ventures have been the cause of what illed me. It was more of what I had become over the decade of running my own company, a career that has become increasingly insular.

The site moved away from this URL then returned this year, and I've continued to be a part of a great community of people all over the world. I thank all of you for letting me still be in your club even as I haven't been with you as much. As many, many of you have told me and others, a blog should primarily be written for one audience: the writer. It's always been that way for me, but I've benefited most when connection has followed. Connection comes from comments and chatting and talking, and I've grown alot through my times with those who have invested in me.

As the site moves to a new URL, my poker exploits will not be left behind. And I hope many of you will take the time to follow me along the new road. I also hope I can find others out there, others who have their act together or not, others who are great parents or not, others who are great spouses or not.

Others who are believers or not. Waffles has called me the Preacher (when he's called me--or that's probably the nicest thing he's called me!), and I hope I haven't offended or come off that way. As I've grown older, I've found myself not to be a preacher but really a seeker. I've come to find my faith as a journey rather than a destination. I feel much safer being a big fish in a small pond rather than the other way around, yet I find that I am more like the latter now in my spiritual journey.

So it came to pass that I would either kill this blog or invest in it and try to do more. I decided to rebuild it. The next post will be the famous go-to-the-new-link post, and hopefully folks will update links and feeds.

So Close, I Can Taste It

2008-05-13T00:13:00.002-04:00

I think we should be making the switch to the new design and new URL in the next twenty-four hours. Still a few final tweaks and all that. I'm pretty sure I'll have some sort of contest to celebrate it, a chance to win something if you link to the new URL and all that.

I've been working hard and stretched fairly thin (although I still don't look too thin!). The move and redesign haven't really contributed to that, but I also haven't devoted very much time to it either. I've paid a nice chunk of change to have someone help with it, and I think it will be well worth it. More in the morning.

Fascinating Interviews with The Three EPL Managers

2008-05-11T21:10:00.003-04:00

Terrific set of interviews by BBC with the managers of the two dropped clubs (Reading and Birmingham), as well the new London hero, Fulham's Roy Hodgson. Such a different view into sport than here in America.

Reading's Steve Coppell

Birmingham's Alex McLeish

Fulham's Roy Hodgson

Great interview also with game winner Danny Murphy, formerly with Liverpool. He's very candid about his own personal struggle watching Liverpool do so well while he languished at Fulham.

Murphy Delivers!

2008-05-11T14:45:00.003-04:00

First, a happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there. We headed for brunch after church this morning. I got our name on the list at one of her favorite places, an hour wait that was fine for us as she and the boys were still at church (I grabbed coffee and a couple books as a gift for my wife after the first service while she volunteered in the nursery). She's celebrating her big day with a nap now.

I rushed to the computer when we got home to see if Fulham had gotten their victory at Pompey. With Birmingham and Reading both grabbing four goals, the pressure was surely on the Cottagers as they headed well into the 2nd half scoreless. Then Danny Murphy headed a long free kick into the netting, Kasey Keller parried shot after shot as the Fulham defense weathered an onslaught of balls, and with three blows of the whistle, Fulham survived!

btw, break up the Pirates, please...

"Come On Fulham!"

2008-05-10T10:06:00.003-04:00

Craven Cottage, 2006

The Barclay's Premier League/EPL. Probably second to the NFL, the Premiership is the best that sports has to offer. Tomorrow is exactly why.

At the top of the league, Chelsea is tied with Manchester United atop the lead. The regular season is the thing in soccer, and it is simple and just. 20 teams, play every team home and away, then add up the points for wins (3 pts) and ties (1 pt). Subtract the goals you score vs those you give up and you have the goal differential for the season. Man U is ahead of Chelsea on goal differential by 17 goals, so Chelsea must have a superior result to this weekend to take the title. They host Bolton Sunday, and Man U will travel to mid-tier Wigan.

It's the bottom of the table that makes soccer leagues around the world exciting until the last day (except for the US). Fulham, owned by Harrod's mogul Mohamed al-Fayad, dropped to the bottom three of the twenty teams at the first of the year and have been down there ever since. Now if you were the Royals or Knicks or Raiders, that would be an unfortunate situation but hardly desperate. But this is the EPL, where the bottom three teams drop out of the Premiership. With the loss goes the estimated $35mil in revenue and the prestige of the Premiership. And what happens if you drop from the Premiership? Look no further than Leicester. They played in the UEFA Cup in 2001, the tournament for top European teams who do not qualify for the Champions League. This season, their record in the League Championship division (Triple-A) pushes them down to League One (Double-A) next season.

With three wins in the last four games, Fulham has clawed their way up to 17th place with 33 pts and a goal differential of -23. 18th place Reading (33pts/-29) and 19th place Birmingham (32pts/-19) both need a result to escape the drop. Reading has the easiest path, traveling to 20th place Derby County (11pts/-65). Birmingham hosts 7th place Blackburn (58pts/+5) and their stingy keeper, American Brad Friedel.

Fulham travels to 8th place Portsmouth (57pts/+9). Known as Pompey, Portsmouth could be faulted for overlooking this game. They play Cardiff next Saturday in the FA Cup final, England's most prestigious soccer tournament. The FA Cup hearkens to the Indiana High School basketball tournament of old, made famous by the movie Hoosiers. In the FA Cup, literally every professional and semi-pro team in England play in the tournament, so Cardiff (in the League Championship division) has a chance to play in Wembley Stadium and take home the hardware of the FA Cup.

Fulham's future will be intertwined with three of their five Americans. Kasey Keller signed up with Fulham earlier this season, a seemingly over-the-hill goalkeeper unclaimed by any other team around the world. He may not be automatic in the back, but he is certainly solid. Clint Dempsey also signed with the club in the middle of the season. The former Furman All-American leads the team in goals and is now a mainstay in the starting XI.

Brian McBride, now the team's captain, is the heart of the team. Last year's leading scorer for the squad had a catastrophic dislocation of his kneecap at the beginning of the season. He's the epitome of workmanship; we'd call it leaving it all on the field if we were talking about football here. No one will outwork him on Sunday, probably no one in the EPL. And he may have his own blood all over him by the end of the afternoon.

Fulham has a tough task in front of them, lessened by Pompey's looming FA Cup match next weekend. I like Reading leapfrogging the other two tomorrow and snatching the final berth in the Premiership next season, but I'll be pulling for McBride and the Cottagers. No one will be tanking tomorrow to move up in draft position, that you can guarantee.

It's been quite a tough week, I won't kid anyone. I've been up to my ears in pure stress, four weeks late getting started with a last phase of a big client project, late due to their delay then totally screwed-up data set needed to complete said project.

I've used poker as a stress relief, just toiling away at the $0.25/0.50 NLHE 6-max tables. Gone are the days of four-tabling away at $0.50/1 or $1/2 NLHE 6-max. Not enough time, not enough bankroll. Poker has moved from an interest to an obsession to a grind to now an escape. I play two tables at their normal size while multi-tasking for maybe an hour or so every third or fourth day, with the occasional SNG thrown in (btw, I'm now a master HU SNG player, undefeated in six straight $2+0.20 PLO and NLHE HU SNG's).

My game has gotten a bit sloppier at times, chasing more often if the bets stay small, focusing on the single big guy at the expense of the weaker stacks.

I'll have a very busy weekend as I keep working on this stuff while also taking in soccer. We're also working feverishly on the redesign and hope to get it moved to the new URL and to the new WordPress template. I'm pretty excited about it. I'll probably post some throughout the weekend, so drop by if you have a chance.

Spoiler Alert: Survivor, Best Reality Show Episode Ever!

2008-05-09T10:24:00.005-04:00

OK, maybe that is a bit of a stretch, but this was the most stunning display of moronic combined with the most evil side of female connivingness (I know this is not a word, but really I think it is). I haven't read EW's recap yet, so definitely head there if you are a fan at all. Also, head to the Survivor website to watch this episode in its entirety.

Meet Exhibit A, Erik. He's the Superfan and would have a restraining order as a stalker if he hadn't actually been cast on the show. He's also a Herculean competitor of the Ozzy mold. With Ozzy leaving a few weeks ago for being too cocky and James almost losing his finger, Erik was the last man standing with four ladies.

Erik wins the Immunity Challenge (lapped the girls; btw, they should have had the person who finished last is out as a twist--the women were horrible in the challenge). He's like a Labrador puppy in these challenges, still sprinting at the end when the other four haven't even made it to the last stage of the challenge.

In the interim, Erik has told different alliance stories to three of the women, who then tell each other of his promises and laugh it up, all within earshot of him. He's a downtrodden puppy who just wants to be liked by these Survivor heroes of him, and it gets him down around camp. Back to real-time: after the Immunity Challenge, the four ladies are sitting around talking about what they will do, and then Cirie stumbles on the most ridiculous idea in the history of reality television. Cirie blurts out that Natalie should use her evil, wily ways to get Erik to give her the Immunity Necklace, playing on his pitiful emotions and need to be liked. Natalie knows she's going home and would do anything to stay, but even she can't come to grips with how anyone would actually fall for this. 'Why would he fall for that?'' asked Natalie. ''Ozzy, Jason, and Erik,'' announced Parvati. ''He belongs in that threesome.''

More giggling ensues, then Natalie heads to find Erik and lay it out for him: Cirie will joing Erik and Natalie to vote out Amanda, but only if Cirie gives Natalie the necklace as a sign of redemption and to show that he is indeed a man of his word that everyone can trust. The jury will also like the move, she explains.

My wife was on the sofa, and as the Tribal Council rolled on, she was ambivalent. "This is ridiculous," she said. "No one would be that stupid."

Ahhh, she obviously overstates the size of a man's brain. And the pure wickedness of the female species.

And you thought the male praying mantis had it bad. At least he gets a last hurrah before having his head bitten off...

No more superlatives. Enjoy...

UPDATE

Go to the bottom of the EW review to see the Jeff Probst interview with EW on Erik's move.

The Problem with American Idol

2008-05-08T10:55:00.005-04:00

Alan Sepinwall at the Star-Ledger has a terrific article on American Idol (see 5 Reasons the Best 12 Weren't). Just a terrific deep-dive into this season vs the overall franchise. Some of the new gimmicks haven't exactly worked out (for example, the use of instruments this season has more often been a prop than an exhibition in musicianship), while some of the old new gimmicks have been ridiculous (see the Q&A from viewers). His on the money with his discussion of themes and mentors. Everyone is probably very gun-shy about doing away with these things, but I think it is time to do that.

What he fails to mention is how those who have remained (aside from David Cook) are so lacking next to some of those who have been cast away. Carly and Michael Johns should absolutely still be here with Jason Castro and Brooke gone in their place. I'd much rather have seen those two added to the trio that remain to see who could have made it to the last three. My wife cannot stand Little David (photo above from Star Search at age 12). He drips child beauty pageant, and he probably needs a wild weekend with Miley Cyrus to knock some reality into him. From all accounts, his father is in the Crazy Stage Parent Hall of Fame, so it's hard to attack Little David too much directly.

David Cook (above) has been a breath of fresh air in this competition. He's escaped the so-called controversy of knocking off previous knock-off's found on YouTube to become the best this season has had to offer (regardless of who wins). You can definitely see him having a career with legs in the future. The big question AI has to ask itself is what needs to change in the show to have six others like him in the last eight or nine (we'll always have some strange person who makes it deep, like Sanjaya or Jason Castro). As much effort and investment in weeding through the tens of thousands of possibilities, you'd think the show would do a better job of finding more diamonds in the rough.

One reason they haven't had more spit out at the end is that the obstacle course the contestants have to run doesn't correlate with what makes a successful recording artist. A young man or woman with a particular style and tone shouldn't have to somehow push that style on a succession of songs from the Beatles, Neil Diamond, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Dolly Parton, and Mariah Carey. Maybe they can simply perform the absolutely best song they want to perform each week then let us decide.

The cliche that the judges' feedback has become is also a problem that Sepinwall omits discussing, one that makes the show less appealing. Let's go worst to first. Paula really needs to be replaced. She brings no critical eye to the show and doesn't appear credible most of the time. Randy should be much more focused in his feedback rather than simply rambling and throwing in his slang terms. Maybe I'm overstating things a bit, as he does seem to focus on the accuracy of the singing and specifics of the arrangement.

Colin is such a key part of the show that it would be hard to imagine AI without him. The constant booing whenever he speaks is overworn and ridiculous, as is chiming the music in immediately after he says his first words. To watch him on AI then watch him on "Britain's Got Talent" is like watching two different people. He generally likes and respects his two cohorts across the pond. He repeatedly shows that he thinks Paula has no sense at all. He also has resigned himself, it appears, that AI is what it is and there isn't much he can do about the American public.

Lastly, me email to Sepinwall (about to send):

Really terrific analysis of American Idol. As part of the wrong demographic (>40 Male), I've still been a fan of American Idol. The one thing you fail to mention is the impact of TiVo/DVR on American Idol viewership. There is absolutely no way I would watch American Idol live, and I never watch anything on the results show except for a performance that might catch my eye. I fast-forward to the end to see who was voted off then delete the episode. I haven't even sniffed listening to a group sing number and haven't seen a cheesy AI commercial since maybe Season 2.

Poker Blogger Tourneys

2008-05-08T09:08:00.002-04:00

I've been out of the blogger tourneys for the most part since they moved almost exclusively to FullTilt about six-eight months or so. I rarely played Wil Wheaton's tourney but was a mainstay back in the days of two-three tables of the Mookie and the MATH. The fact that I never won a Mookie event (and thus never got to answer all those questions about me) frustrated me to no end. I also hosted a small weekly tourney on PokerStars, even getting the PokerWorks folks to give me some cash to add to the prize pool (I think $1k). My tourney was never very popular in numbers, more of an intimate gathering of knuckleheads than anything really.

It's been stunning to watch the growth of these tourneys, and AlCantHang along with Hoy, Mook, smokkee, and MiamiDon, have been instrumental in pushing the envelope. FullTilt especially has embraced the marketing value of having bloggers playing regularly on their site, driving traffic, affiliate revenue, downloads, and conversions in the process.

I know there has been alot written about what blogger tourneys have become. Since I haven't been playing in them this year, let me chime in (always great to have an opinion about something you know nothing about, right?).

With the significant added value arranged by Al et al, the blogger tourneys have been one of the few series of poker tournaments in the world where someone is adding to the prize pool. Let me repeat that. The blogger tourneys are one of the series of poker tournaments in the world where there is significant added value to the prize pool. The WSOP made news last week for their delayed Main Event, and I noted that one of the other items mentioned was that the interest on the prize pool for those at the Final Table would be given back to them. A quick calculation of this: 0.17% added to the prize pool, and none of that coming from the host or sponsor of the WSOP. I'll let someone more familiar with the blogger tourneys figure out the overall prize pool, the rake, and how much FullTilt is adding, but I assume it is more than 0.17%.

So this has moved from being a gathering of virtual acquaintances and friends to a competitive regular happening. Folks have reacted differently to this, with some getting test and nasty in their chat and IM's about donkey play or bad beats. Sometimes those comments have gotten heated and personal. Additionally, people have come to care more about playing in these, about doing well in them, about getting points and getting money.

Has all of this taken away from the general feeling of community that brought everyone to these events in the first place? I'll let others comment on this. I do know that one of the terrific parts of blogger tourneys is that a new person can gain entry into this strange community of people called poker bloggers. All it takes is visiting one of the above sites, finding the password, having $10-25 on FullTilt (or Bodog), then signing up and sitting down. You can chat away with the people you've read and trolled and commented on, these big figures in our little world.

You can play with neophytes or the best we have to offer, folks like Lucko and Fuel and LJ and Gnome and cmitch. Is it the same as playing with annette_15 or Gus Hansen or Jason Strasser? It isn't too far from it, I don't believe. Because of it, bad players have become mediocre and good players have become really good. It is one of the real draws of blogger tourneys, that you can test yourself with such a wide array of players who you also know a little about.

Did the intimacy get lost as the fields grew? Sure, just as some of the connectivity and community that originally developed in poker blogs has been broken by Bloglines and Google Reader. Much of that intimacy now comes from subsegments of our group, IM's and chats with smaller groups of people.

Do we need a tourney that isn't part of all this, just a place to have fun like the good old days? I wouldn't be the judge of that. My impression is that the field is pretty packed, what with 1-2 events going on every single evening. How anyone stays married or attached to a significant other or remains a competent parent while spending all these evenings on their computer is one I don't fully understand. It's probably what has kept me away from the events the most, just that I'm now enjoying sitting four feet away from my wife in front of the television rather than returning to The Pit (as we've come to affectionately call this office/dungeon) to play poker with my virtual friends for 10 minutes-4 hours (depending on how quickly I bust out).

Having removed myself from these tourneys and currently holding down last place on the leaderboard with 0 points, I can tell you I miss doing eighteen things while having a tournament open with you guys. I miss shoving, hitting, then reading all of the chat about how stupid I am and how could I make this play when so and so hasn't re-raised in five weeks (even though I am never paying any attention to even my cards, much less all this complicated stuff like what other players are doing or have done or their position or M's or size of raises or position). I do miss it, I do. I almost reached out last night to get some FullTilt funds for Stars funds into my account so I could jump in to the Mook. My wife was out, and I had the evening free. Work and work and putting the boys in bed led me away, and I didn't reach out and didn't sign up. I looked for some way to jump into some ring game to turn my $0.04 at FullTilt into the $11 I needed, but I couldn't find that either.

So poker blogger tourney folks, here's my wisdom: take a couple steps back then return to the table with a fresh view of the Mookie or MATH or Riverchasers or the Big Game or whichever other event you're signing up for. You get whatever you want out of the event, but don't forget that one of the best parts is seeing friends and finding new ones.

More Evidence Brits are Weird

2008-05-07T17:13:00.005-04:00

Just in case you needed more: I'm not sure which is strangers, the Britain's Got Talent audition by Craig Harper of a Boyzone song (where he sings the parts of all five members) or the actual Boyzone song itself.

You be the judge.

No, I'll say the strangest has to be Mr. Donald Bell-Gam, absolutely horrific and making Simon Cowell wish for the worst American Idol experience as an escape.

Or maybe the Gollum Boy, with his terrific impression from Lord of the Rings?

Or maybe Michael Machell, playing keyboards possibly for the first time (the theme from Star Wars)?

Like the Blink of an Eye

2008-05-07T10:12:00.004-04:00

I grew in a small town in Southwest Mississippi, about an hour south of the state capital Jackson and 2 1/2 hours north of New Orleans. I thought our town had a population of 18,000, but the census has it at a little less than 10,000 and our county at around 33,000. Growing up in a small town had its disadvantages to be sure, but one thing I'll always remember is how everyone knew everyone, or at the least knew of them and recognized them. I don't get back there at all anymore, what with my parents moving to Memphis after I was in college and all.

The death toll in Myanmar/Burma is now estimated to be 22,464 with almost 41,000 missing. It is as if my entire hometown and county have been wiped off of the face of the Earth. I don't watch the news, so I haven't seen any of the images from this, just reading about it on the web. My entire town, dead.

The people in Myanmar are a poor, backward people. They look different than me, talk multiple languages. 55,000,000 people live there in a country slightly smaller than Texas. These tens of thousands of people lost are a drop in the bucket in a place where life is always tough. The value of these lives is so much less than the value of the lives of people here in Atlanta or the US.

At least, it's easy to think that way in our inner-most thoughts.

No, these aren't 22,464 nameless, faceless, strange, poor people who have been lost. I've searched for an hour to find the name of one of these who have died, but nothing comes back. A 12-foot wave crashed down on these tens of thousands of people, but that's too impersonal.

No, it was a young father who huddled in his shack with his wife, two daughters, and two sons (ages 8-3). He had steered clear of the military and earned money as a day laborer, picking up money doing everything from hauling trash from construction sights to carrying boxes of goods to market. The mother took care of the young children, sewing children's clothes to put a bit more food on the table. There were no paychecks to regularly cash, so neither of them knew for certain if there would be enough food for them or if it would go to the children each day.

Their life was drastically hard, but no different than anyone else in Labutta, this remote place over 100 miles from Yangon. They prayed that Saturday as they held one another, prayed until their shanty disappeared in the foam of the waters higher than a basketball goal. And each of them, this father and mother and daughter and son and son and daughter, children who could be running in and out of my house if they had only been born in Suburbia, each of them has been separated from their loved one. You see, these six humans are among the hundreds now floating in the Pyarmalot River.

Nameless, faceless victims, half a world away as I drink my coffee and go on to the next bit of thinking and typing and figuring out what I'm paid to do. 22,464 and counting.

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo Videos on NBC Sports.com

2008-05-06T08:05:00.003-04:00

My favorite thing about living in New Jersey was listening to Mike and the Mad Dog on WFAN. Mike Francesca made his name originally on CBS March Madness coverage, while Christopher Russo has transformed himself from a sidekick with an irritating voice to a terrific sports talk radio host. They've been together since September 1989.

And now he has the Mad Dog Minute. Watching him and listening is some kind of treat.

Comparison of WSOP to Deepstack Events

2008-05-06T07:44:00.003-04:00

A terrific analysis in a 2+2 post of the starting chips and structures of a $1.5k WSOP compared to Venetian and Caesar's Deepstack tourneys this summer.

There are four mid priced series going on during the summer, but the structure for the Bellagio Cup III is impossible to find, so I will compare the other three series:

World Series of Poker $1500
Venetian Deepstack $1060
Venetian Deepstack $540
Caesar's Megastack $540

First off, I would like to note that the Venetian has auto shufflers, so you should be getting in more hands on those events. This increases their value, but I am not directly taking it into account.

Starting Chips

WSOP $1500 - 3,000
Deepstack $1060 - 10,000
Deepstack $540 - 10,000
Megastack $540 - 15,000

You get less starting chips with the WSOP, so you won't be starting out deepstacked.

BB vs Starting stack

Starting level

WSOP $1500 - 60
Deepstack $1060 - 200
Deepstack $540 - 200
Megastack $540 - 300

Again the WSOP does not offer deep stacked play. The Megastack starts incredibly deepstacked.

Four hours in

WSOP $1500 - 15
Deepstack $1060 - 50
Deepstack $540 - 16.66
Megastack $540 - 25

The $1060 remains deep, while the remaining tournaments start dropping.

Eight hours in

WSOP $1500 - 3.75
Deepstack $1060 - 8.33
Deepstack $540 - 2.5
Megastack $540 - 5

The WSOP $1500 is now actually deeper then the $540 Deepstack and is gaining on the other events. The $1060 Deepstack is looking to have great value.

Twelve hours in

WSOP $1500 - 1.5
Deepstack $1060 - 2.5
Deepstack $540 - .33
Megastack $540 - 1.25

The $540 events are showing the disadvantages of faster levels. They have swung from very deep to very very shallow.

Fifteen hours in

WSOP $1500 - .500
Deepstack $1060 - .833
Deepstack $540 - .0625
Megastack $540 - .375

The $540s should be over, or close to over at this point.

Overall

I think I wanted to highlight in this thread what I believe the strength of longer blind levels as opposed to just giving you more chips. The Megastack started the deepest event, but by the end of the tournament it became one of the shortest structures. The first level of this series is going to be like torture playing 300bbs deep with no antes.

The WSOP actually redeems itself once the money is reached. Day 2 of the $1500 events will be must more pleasant because of this, and actually allow some good play at this point. This is at the cost of less play during the first 8 levels.

The $1060 Deepstacks overall have the best structure as shown. The Venetian is really giving players a good tournament here.

Another Sign of Our Recession

2008-05-05T21:54:00.004-04:00

Gaming companies have been under severe pressure, and the Wall Street Journal reports after hours tonight that Tropicana Entertainment LLC is filing for bankruptcy protection.

Kentucky-based Tropicana -- with a small casino kingdom that includes the famed Tropicana Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and a host of small regional casinos -- missed an interest payment Friday on a $1.32 billion loan with lender Credit Suisse Group, said two people familiar with the matter. Tropicana isn't expected to make the payment, these people said. Missing the payment terminates a forebearance agreement the company had with bondholders, putting further pressure on the gambling company (WSJ.com).

The Business Courier of Cincinnati had a story on the Cincinnati-based firm last week, laying out the company's struggles with bondholders to force the firm into bankruptcy to gain access to the lucrative land under the Tropicana in Las Vegas. The company's press release regarding the filing and pending reorganization.

Arieh Out, ZeeJustin In at Bodog

2008-05-05T19:04:00.002-04:00

Atlanta's own Josh Arieh is out at Bodog, and Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo is in as a sponsored player at Bodog (read this interview with Bonomo, I assume by Haley). Of course, Bodog hasn't gotten around to erasing Arieh's image throughout their website. I've tried to interview Arieh several times, as I've been especially interested in his decision to remain in Atlanta rather than uprooting his wife and three daughters. Bonomo should have been snapped by a site a long time ago as he's a threat in any tourney he enters.

The dismissal of Arieh two months after adding Jean-Robert Bellande is a bit more curious to me. Bellande has little tournament success to show for his last thirty months. Here is a nice comparison of Arieh vs Bellande vs Bonomo over the last few years (08/07/06):

Bellande ($9.4k, $44.7k, $105.1k)
Arieh ($71.7k, $193.1k, $561.1k)
Bonomo ($229k, $574.8k, $275.4k)

I'm sure the folks at Wicked Chops could chime in on the matter as they've always been close to Bodog Poker. Arieh's website is no longer there; I haven't checked it in quite awhile. I'll try to track him down through contacts to get his thoughts. Again, I'd say picking up Bonomo is a no-brainer for anyone. His previous transgressions may have kept him from being signed up by PokerStars or FullTilt, but that would only be a wild guess of mine.

WSOP ME Delay: Otis and Hard-Boiled Poker Weigh In

New on my radar, Hard-Boiled Poker has fast become one of my new favorite poker blogs. He has a great analysis of the history of the Main Event as well as his take on the delay. Otis has a detailed analysis of the downsides of this deal. I strongly urge you to read both of these.

Ironman Rocks!

2008-05-05T09:43:00.003-04:00

I took our family plus a few boys from our soccer teams (10-12 years old) to see Ironman yesterday. Let's put aside the fact that it was rated PG-13 and I had a 3-year old plus boys 10-12 for a minute. I'll address that in a bit. It was a really, really great movie.

Robert Downey, Jr (Tony Stark/Ironman) really brought something fresh to the genre. Would he have been viewed as good if he didn't bring all of his own personal history and demons along for the ride? I'm not sure. Gwyneth Paltrow played a great, understated Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's long-time assistant. In fact, the movie was really packed with terrific actors in all of the roles. Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges brought depth to roles that could have been throwaway's, which I think really added to the movie.

One of the boys I brought was of Middle Eastern descent, and it was strange how uncomfortable I got at times watching some of the movie. Having him a few seats from me actually forced me to step away from the film a bit and look at how Marvel portrayed the different members of the cast who were Arabic. I actually think they did a nice job, with terrorists, an aid to Tony Stark, then innocent villagers all shown on the screen. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed all this, and I doubt I would have if not for the young boy who I've coached for close to six years now.

The previews actually were more disturbing than the movie itself for young boys, with much inappropriate sexual innuendos in a couple of trailers. The movie had one risque portion (a reporter who spends the night with Stark). The violence in the film wasn't too graphic, so it is more of a parental judgment of what is acceptable or not for boys at specific ages. It wasn't scary, so even our little guy made it through fine. He actually stayed tuned in for the entire movie, which is tough for him in a live-action film.

Definitely hit the movie.

The Last Lecture: Professor Randy Pausch

2008-05-02T09:11:00.002-04:00

A riveting complete video of the now famous Last Lecture from Professor Randy Pausch from Carnegie Mellon.

From the caption with the video:

Almost all of us have childhood dreams: for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don't achieve theirs, and I think that's a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I've actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams. This talk will discuss how I achieved my childhood dreams (being in zero gravity, designing theme park rides for Disney, and a few others), and will contain realistic advice on how *you* can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true, too.

107 minutes in length, so be ready to multitask as you watch/listen. He authored The Last Lecture as well. His Daily Update page gives details of his continued fight against pancreatic cancer.

From the WSOP Conference Call: An Estimated $179,470 to be Added to the Main Event Prize Pool

2008-05-01T15:01:00.002-04:00

Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP Commissioner for Harrah's, held a teleconference for the Media regarding the announcement of the 117-day delay in the WSOP Main Event Final Table. Included on the call: Jack Effel (Tournament Director), Seth Polansky (Communications Director), Jamie Horowitz (Senior Producer, ESPN Content Development), and Dockery Clark (Director of Sports and Event Sponsorship at Miller Brewing).

What's New at the WSOP

No tents; more ballrooms will be utilized for play (five total)
Player capacity is 2,740 at any one time
There will be no alternates; instead, there will be Day 2's for larger events estimated to exceed capacity
Satellites will not be played in the Amazon Room but in a separate ballroom
The cage will be separate, with an integration of buy-in and cash-out areas
Registration will begin 28 May, two days prior to the first event
All cell phones must be silenced, and players must be a table away from their seat to use a phone or PDA
There will be a new WSOP Concierge service; although this wasn't addressed on the call, I found out that this was a primary need of international players. Services will include shopping and other typical concierge services for those with long stays at the Rio. The Rio will also offer upgraded rooms for long-term players, including DV-R's and nicer televisions.

The Delayed Final Table

14 July: Final Table set, 9 November: play from nine to two, 10 November: HU play, with a target of ending HU play early on 11 November; 11 November: show the two-hour Final Table.
4 November: ESPN will air a one-hour preview show of the Final Table
ESPN will follow the nine WSOP Final Table players during their sixteen-week hiatus
ESPN (Horowitz) "This is a very exciting day for us in what is already the biggest event in poker. We look at this like when baseball added the Wild Card or NASCAR added the Chase for the Cup."
Miller (Clark): "We appreciate the partnership with the World Series of Poker, and this announcement adds value to us." She then explained a partnering with Phil Hellmuth, a 2 June promotion to win private lessons with Hellmuth.

Questions and Answers

I asked the second set of questions: What about collusion? Pollack: "The biggest mistake someone could make is to test our events ethically. We are putting the players before a global, world-wide audience, and that encourages them to represent players with high ethical standards. We are introducing a new Code of Conduct, which will clarify any act or unethical, cheating or collusion will be met with very severe penalties. When play stops, we are encouraging the world to take a look at these players, and they will achieve a level of fame. We hope it discourages (unethical behavior).
My second question: Dockery mentioned this was added value to Miller, and I assume it is added value to all parties involved. Will there be anything added to the prize pool of the Main Event? Pollack: The prize pool for the Final Table will be deposited in an interest-bearing account for the Final Table players after the Final Table is set." My calculation of interest in a 3-month CD @ 3.25% APR: $179,470 (unsure if this is correct or not, calculated at Bankrate.com for $1,000,000 and extrapolated--apologies to the math whizzes and any corrections appreciated).
Bob Ciaffone (CardPlayer) asked about the late endings of days. Effel explained that play will end around midnight (five levels) for the Main Event as well as for ten levels in most other tourneys. 5:00PM start events will end around 2:00AM.
Adam Schwartz (2+2 Radio) asked about the potential for things to happen to players in the interim period. Pollack: Probably a hundred scenarios, whether it is entertainment or sports. People should be confident in our ability to stage an event, world-class, customer-friendly."
Matthew Shaw (PokerListings) asked about the new photography policy. Seth Polansky asked him to call and discuss off-line.
BJ Neumeth (PokerNews) asked if there would be media restrictions during the Final Table to keep the winner under wraps as much as possible. Pollack: "We are blowing the doors wide-open. If you are credentialed to be in the room, you’ll be able to report what you saw. This will only enhance the coverage and viewership. 10 November will be a huge media day for the World Series."
Bill Ordeen (Baltimore Sun) asked if this change was to move the broadcast to more of a live event coverage feel vs a documentary. Horowitz: "We've always had change in tournament coverage, and ESPN has always looked to as the WSOP is the seminal event in poker. There will be twenty hours of Main Event is more than ever, and the preview show will be new as well." Pollack: "We think this iwll create a greater sense of anticipation, changing the equation, as many people as possible talking about who is going to win?"
Rick Dacey (PokerPlayer News UK) asked about pay-per view and how this impacts broadcasting in the UK, as well as in other international markets. Horowitz: "The plan is not to do pay-per-view for the Main Event. We are looking into some of the bracelet events on ESPN360." Pollack: "ESPN distributes this (internationally), but we are not sure about ESPN International and will follow up."
Steve Rosenblum (Chicago Tribune) asked about apparel rules. Pollack: "No single company logo can be on the same article of clothing more than once, and no maximum on number of unique logos. I came from NASCAR, and I hope that players can start looking like NASCAR drivers. Robert Williamson, III, for one, is well on his way. We hope that the players at the Final Table (will use) sixteen weeks to sign additional sponsors."

Do Blogs Mark the Death of Journalism?

2008-05-01T10:12:00.002-04:00

We don't get HBO, so I haven't been able to watch a Costas Now Town Hall on Taking Stock of the Sports Media Landscape, Including the Rise of Internet Bloggers and Sports Talk Radio. The New York Times has a recap of a portion of the show, pitting author Buzz Bissinger (author of "Friday Night Lights") with Will Leitch, founder of Deadspin.com. You can see the clip of the debate below.

Let's put aside the fact that much of the quotes from Bissinger and Costas were from commenters, a fact that both either didn't fully understand or didn't truly address succinctly. This piece raised a few big questions (see my answers):

Are blogs dedicated to cruelty? First, blogs are no more uniform than any type of media, including newspapers, television programs, radio programs, newsletters, CD's, and DVD's. Sports blogs run the gamut in purpose, sport covered, tone, and journalistic integrity. Kickette, one of the finalists for Best Sports Blog (Bloggies) is the Go Fug Yourself of soccer, so much more different than Roll 'Bama Roll, dedicated to all things Crimson Tide or Dawg Sports (University of Georgia). Most of these single entity blogs are a gather place for die-hard fans to celebrate, commiserate, rant, gossip, and generally fuel their passion. Dedicated to cruelty? A small minority, just as other gossip media are (see the National Enquirer, Entertainment Tonight, London's trash papers).
Are blogs dedicated to dishonesty? Is it easier to put whatever you want to put up on a blog that you own, putting truth aside as best you can? I think it is easier, no doubt about it. But are blogs dedicated to dishonesty? Dishonesty is significantly different than getting a story wrong. Again, blogs that are consistently dishonest will lose readership, like any media source (satirical sources excluded; e.g., The Onion).
Are blogs dedicated to speed? All media has pushed more to speed, and blogs are hardly the exception here. In sports, you can start with ESPN and their reporting of rumors from their lead investigators. Here are just a few quick examples: Smoltz makes it clear in text message he's returning as a reliever "I am planning on coming back as a reliever first, and more than likely for the rest of this year," Smoltz said in a text message to the newspaper late Wednesday. (Text message as the single source, one of the easiest things to fake/manipulate) Kerr refutes report saying D'Antoni, Suns might part ways referring to the SI.com report of D'Antoni's Tenure in Phoenix is Over (yet the Arizona Republic has it this way: D'Antoni, Kerr to discuss plans "There now is a national impression that Mike D'Antoni coached his last Suns game Tuesday after an online report stated so.") Media has always balanced speed with getting the story right. Always. Blogs are no different.
Do bloggers lack journalistic credentials? This is a yes for the vast majority of anyone who blogs, sports bloggers included.
Do bloggers lack journalistic capabilities? This is a more significant question. What is the differentiation of a journalist? Webster defines the journalist as a writer or editor for a news medium or a writer who aims at a mass audience. It is interesting to see their second definition: a person who keeps a journal. Do all bloggers conduct research and find the facts? Probably a better question. This is probably the most significant point that Costas is driving by bringing on Leitch, as Deadspin purposely does not go to press boxes or events to bring their stories. It is very easy for a blogger to regurgitate what they've read on another blog or website without doing due diligence. However, the greed of driving eyeballs and traffic actually assists many bloggers with finding sources to reinforce their point. A good blogger will link to other's reports and posts, driving traffic to said source while establishing credibility in the process. Do bloggers conduct primary research? That would be mostly a no, I assume. Do the biggest blogs conduct primary research? The biggest blogs aren't too different than a small newspaper anyways, with a team of writers, editors, and photographers out finding stories. Add readers firing in their own scoops to send the blog to look into the smoke, and you have a situation no different than most other media outlets.
Do bloggers follow a code of ethics? Here are the Code of Ethics from the Society of Professional Journalists (see below for the entire document). The main categories: Seek Truth and Report It, Minimize Harm, Act Independently, and Be Accountable. Minimize Harm is often, unfortunately, in direct conflict to Drive Traffic/Ratings/Eyeballs/Revenue (see Britney Spears et al). This is really the test of any person who creates media viewed or read by an audience. It goes to the values of the media source, as well as to the individual creator of content.
Do bloggers lack writing capabilities? I feel strongly that blogs and online media have given an outlet and audience to a tremendous number of individuals who otherwise would have had little outlet for their nascent writing skills. It also has allowed struggling writers to hone their craft, develop an audience, and pay their bills in lieu of working multiple schlep jobs. You can look no further than Paul Maguire for an example of this. His Tao of Poker is one of the most widely read sites about all things poker, and he was one of the early adopters when it came to blogs and revenue generation. He also is a terrific writer, and the former has enabled him to hone his craft with the latter. I would relate my own personal experience as the polar opposite side of blogging and writing capabilities. I've been able to develop my own voice, style, and skills through writing this blog and writing for websites. I have zero training in writing (OK, one college course in Creative Writing--irrelevant), but I've brought some of my business skills to what I do: research, interviewing, analytical capabilities. How different are bloggers from journalists and authors when it comes to writing capabilities? The best of all three of these really differ minimally from one another when it comes to writing skills (or maybe the best authors are different than the best journalists, those more experienced can chime in as I don't think I'm qualified to know what I'm talking about).

The Blogosphere is abuzz, so what do you think?

Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics
Preamble
Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility. Members of the Society share a dedication to ethical behavior and adopt this code to declare the Society's principles and standards of practice.

Seek Truth and Report It
Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.

Journalists should:

— Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible.
— Diligently seek out subjects of news stories to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing.
— Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability.
— Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Clarify conditions attached to any promise made in exchange for information. Keep promises.
— Make certain that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context.
— Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo illustrations.
— Avoid misleading re-enactments or staged news events. If re-enactment is necessary to tell a story, label it.
— Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information except when traditional open methods will not yield information vital to the public. Use of such methods should be explained as part of the story
— Never plagiarize.
— Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience boldly, even when it is unpopular to do so.
— Examine their own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on others.
— Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status.
— Support the open exchange of views, even views they find repugnant.
— Give voice to the voiceless; official and unofficial sources of information can be equally valid.
— Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.
— Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two.
— Recognize a special obligation to ensure that the public's business is conducted in the open and that government records are open to inspection.

Minimize Harm
Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect.

Journalists should:

— Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects.
— Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
— Recognize that gathering and reporting information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance.
— Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone’s privacy.
— Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.
— Be cautious about identifying juvenile suspects or victims of sex crimes.
— Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges.
— Balance a criminal suspect’s fair trial rights with the public’s right to be informed.

Act Independently
Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public's right to know.

Journalists should:

—Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
— Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.
— Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity.
— Disclose unavoidable conflicts.
— Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.
— Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage.
— Be wary of sources offering information for favors or money; avoid bidding for news.

Be Accountable
Journalists are accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers and each other.

Journalists should:

— Clarify and explain news coverage and invite dialogue with the public over journalistic conduct.
— Encourage the public to voice grievances against the news media.
— Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.
— Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media.
— Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others.

Is the WSOP a Marketing Event?

2008-05-01T09:10:00.003-04:00

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of our lives in the midst of a recession, a housing market hardly at its basement, and a world changing in spite of us, but the World Series of Poker just made a change that significantly changes the most coveted title in poker forever. The WSOP Main Event, as reported by USA Today, will have a break of 117 days from the time the Final Table is set at nine players (14 July) to the time play restarts on 9 November. The Final Table will be broadcast two days later on 11 November.

Is this a great thing for ESPN and the fans? Absolutely. For viewers, we now have more of a reality show feel to the WSOP, watching throughout the fall to see who makes the Final Table then seeing the last nine battle to a new champion virtually real-time.

For poker as a competition (similar to a sport), it is ridiculous. Basically, we have two events within one: the WSOP Main Event Satellite (where there are cash prizes until you get to the final nine if you make the money) then the WSOP Final Table (almost four months later, where nine finalists start with different chip counts and play a SNG). Maybe I'm overreacting a bit, but this changes the competitive landscape of the Final Table tremendously.

Less experienced players can be coached up for four months, a no-brainer to any and every player at the Final Table. Other players can be game planned ad nauseum, players can practice and practice to fix leaks and tells. You name it, it can be done with this much time in between the events.

It also dramatically increases the opportunity for collusion at the Final Table. Remember, the difference between 1st and 9th last year was around $7.5mil. That's a pretty significant sum of cash, a huge incentive for players to stretch their values for a certain larger payout.

For those making the Final Table, the cash will become much more significant for sponsorship if they use their heads. Ratings will be significantly higher for the Final Table, which should not only make the cash outlay increase from the poker sites (if the players negotiate well) but should also bring out the mainstream, consumer marketers. With TiVo and other DVR's pounding away at commercial effectiveness, player logowear and usage is a white-hot commodity in marketing. Watch any NASCAR race and see how many drivers accidentally take a swig of Coke Zero if you want some evidence.

Maybe I'm just a dinosaur. Bud Selig obviously is not a steward of the game of baseball. Is Roger Goodell? More yes than no. Is David Stern? He seems to be a great combination of steward of professional baseball with marketer supreme.

I've always felt like poker was more like boxing and tennis than it was like the PGA or the NFL. Too many factions focused too much on marketing and revenue and not enough on overall growth and field of competition. Maybe it's an unfair comparison, to view televised poker as more than it is: an event where individuals can put their own money up and have a chance at winning a mountain of cash, living their dream in the process.

Any opinions on this? Is the WSOP a marketing event? Does it matter if the answer is yes?

EDIT

Press release from the WSOP

WORLD SERIES OF POKER® ANNOUNCES ENHANCEMENT TO 2008 MAIN EVENT FINAL TABLE FORMAT; POKER’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS EVENT CHANGES THE QUESTION FROM ‘WHO WON?’ TO ‘WHO WILL WIN?’

Final Nine Players Will Square-Off This November on ESPN

LAS VEGAS – May 1, 2008 – The World Series of Poker® (WSOP) Presented by Milwaukee’s Best Light today announced a groundbreaking change that will more closely align the televised presentation of the world’s largest, richest and most prestigious poker tournament with other premier sports broadcasts. he last nine players of the $10,000 World Championship of No-Limit Texas Hold’em, known as the Main Event, will compete on November 9-10 instead of the originally scheduled date of July 16.

“Our intent is to provide an even bigger stage for our players,” said Jeffrey Pollack, Commissioner of the World Series of Poker. “Now fans and viewers will ask ‘who will win’ our coveted championship bracelet instead of seeing ‘who won.’ The excitement and interest surrounding our final nine players will be unprecedented.” This change in how the Main Event final table is staged will bring the excitement and drama of high-stakes WSOP tournament play closer to millions of fans around the globe. All other 2008 WSOP tournament structures and schedules remain unchanged. This announcement affects only the final nine players of Event #54, the Main Event World Championship.

Continuing the trailblazing efforts that have made the WSOP the industry standard, this move is being made in close collaboration with ESPN, the television rightsholder of the WSOP, and the WSOP Players Advisory Council (PAC), the commissioner-appointed committee of professional and amateur poker players who provide guidance and perspective to the WSOP leadership team. "It's an exciting time for the World Series of Poker and ESPN," said Jamie Horowitz, senior producer, ESPN Content Development. "This adjustment will add a new element to a very successful and popular event. We look forward to documenting all of the exciting stories that make the WSOP Main Event the seminal competition in all of poker."

“This is a huge step forward for poker and more specifically poker on television because it will help create more buzz around the final table and that is good for all of us,” said Daniel Negreanu, a WSOP PAC member, three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and one of today’s most successful and popular poker professionals. “Not only will this innovative step create more buzz for the final table, the added time prior to the final table will help get poker mainstream media attention. I’m very excited about this decision and can’t wait to see it all unfold, hopefully from a seat at the final table!”

The 39th annual World Series of Poker will take place from May 30th to July 14th at the Rio® All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The Main Event will begin on July 3rd, with the Final Table being determined on July 14th. The nine players who advance to the Final Table will return to the Rio on November 9th to play down to just two players. The final two, will go head-to-head late in the evening on November 10th to determine the champion and winner of poker’s ultimate prize. The winner of the Main Event is expected to be crowned in the early hours of November 11. ESPN will edit the two-day Final Table action and televise it in a two-hour program from 9:00-11:00 PM ET on Tuesday, November 11 just hours after the winner is crowned. This is akin to television coverage of the Olympic Games, where because of time zone differences, the telecaster schedules programs “same day” in primetime to provide the largest possible audience a convenient viewing time.

ESPN will begin its coverage of the 2008 World Series of Poker on Tuesday, July 22. Viewers will see two hours of original poker programming every Tuesday through November 11 (except November 4 when a special preview of the Final Table will be aired at 10 p.m.). Telecasts will be aired at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. July 22 through September 30 and at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. from October 7 through November 11. Each of the players who make it to the WSOP Main Event Final Table will receive ninth place prize money on July 14, when the finalists are determined. Harrah’s will then provide each of those players with an all expense paid trip for two for their return to Las Vegas in November to play the final portion of the tournament.

From July 14 to November 9, a span of 117 days, players will have an opportunity to line up sponsorships, coaches, review the play of all their competitors, participate in other tournaments, and take advantage of the new publicity and promotional opportunities that will be available.

Reason #78 Never to Watch MLB Again

Ticket prices for the All Star Game at Yankee Stadium: $150-725 (up from $75-285 last year). Gouge away, guys. I won't be watching.

It's an anxious yet exciting time for me, this end of April. I'm pretty sure I won't be returning to the WSOP in a major writing capacity (you can find all of my poker articles and previous coverage here). There are still a couple of things that might take me to the Rio in the coming weeks; regardless, it will be a summer of sleeping at night rather than spending every waking hour walking amidst grinders hoping for their big score.

It damaged me on several different levels, my time there. It derailed my business, a huge block of time and energy that I've struggled to overcome since. It hurt some personal relationships with folks who I admire. It frustrated me, working feverishly with little to show for it.

The part I really enjoyed was working with people who were better than me at something I was learning, as well as helping others who were striving to hone their newly-found craft. Otis has always been the class of those at the WSOP the two years I was there, able to relate to everyone there with respect and professionalism. Amy won't be back, but she was the rock star that I cautiously introduced myself to in '06 then got to work with in '07. Pauly was always encouraging me, taking the time to care about what I was doing when what I was doing wasn't that relevant. Johnny kept me hopping and legitimized my vision of how we could do something different in the clutter that is poker coverage. Carmen was a breath of fresh air for me, and I'm so proud that she's continued to sprint forward since last summer. She brightened my evenings when she would come in and we would chat about some angle that she could pursue. Of course, it was a bit of the blind leading the blind as I didn't really know how to do whatever I was giving her direction on, but neither of us cared too much. Linda was able to keep me pumped up and going with encouragement and the late dinner.

Gene and Dan were great roommates to have last summer (OK, who am I kidding? I'm not actually sure if Dan lived with us!). I'll miss the late night nachos with Gene and the easy conversations about all things life and nothingness. It was the first time in a very long time that I had a buddy who I hung out with yet didn't spend every waking hour with. I liked it.

All of that said, poker coverage in general has some significant flaws. Due to Harrah's inability to figure out a way to handle chip counts electronically in a cost-effective way, the PokerNews gang has to relie on manual counts as non-intrusively as possible. Due to Harrah's inability to figure out a way to identify players, mystery men and women appear atop Day 2 leader boards magically, out of thin air.

The restrictions on live coverage and access is a complicated kettle of fish, something that other sports and competitions are confronting as well. The caste system created isn't that big a deal, not unusual in any business setting with multiple companies present. The significant issue is that the limits of access, necessitated by the physical constraints that come with poker tables and players and small spaces, simply diminishes the quality of coverage and the perspective given to the the audience. Why is there an audience for ESPN, SI, Fox Sports, national news coverage, network sports, and niche media at events like the Masters, the Kentucky Derby, the Daytona 500, and March Madness? It's because different media provide different coverage, different views and perspectives, and develop different stories.

The single biggest problem in poker media, in my opinion, is the lack of differentiation in what each outlet is trying to provide to the audience. Bluff/PokerNews has paid to provide hand-for-hand coverage and chip counts, yet other outlets dutifully try to out-do them. I don't know of any other competition where one media outlet provides the facts of the competition nor where those facts are so difficult to capture. As they should, Bluff/PokerNews works hard to collect as many big hands and chip counts as possible. But the complexity that is a poker tournament is still difficult to nail down, so many moving parts, players surging up the leaderboard only to crash down later.

Bluff/PokerNews now has many more tournaments under their belt, and the fact collection should be the best to date. Will the coverage be the best to date from the media outlets there? It just depends on what the readers really want. CardPlayer seems to have significantly increased the quantity of players tracked and reported on during their WPT events, raising the bar and giving vital facts to friends and followers of many more players that the masses haven't heard of.

ESPN, the biggest gorilla in the room, has done little to expand on their coverage over the last few years, aside from going to HD filming and showing more events. I really wish they would take a lead from the Masters coverage this year, where DirectTV showed five or six Masters channels (showing Amen Corner on one channel, as an example). There is absolutely an audience for more in-depth coverage, yet ESPN continues with their now formulaic presentation of big hands and their tired Poker Acts (e.g., Hellmuth et al), combined with "The Nuts" and human interest stories sprinkled in.

My most interesting experiment last year was when I spent 3-5 hours watching one player at one table. It was a dramatically different way to watch a tournament when you followed Nam Le at the beginning of a tournament, Jason Strasser during Day 2, Michael Binger down to three tables, Dario Minieri deep in the Main Event. Was it great coverage? I don't really know, but it was something unique and different. I felt like I got more of a glimpse into how different players played at different times under different table situations. You started to get a sense of the poker that we've come to know and love online, being able to see people change gears, to have a VP$IP of 12% or 60%.

Actually, what I'll miss most are the players. I'll miss seeing a smile from a player who knows or recognizes me, like Cyndy or Ben Roberts. I'll miss the people I got to know well, people like John Armbrust, Doug Kim, Jason, and Doug Carli. But I'll really miss my buddies who were there making their run, like sprstoner, LJ, lucko, Fuel, Drizz, and the countless others.

Maybe I'll sneak into one or two tournaments again this year and make my own run, get my first WSOP cash. Or maybe there is a new path for me this summer, one of normalcy and of excitement about the future and of looking for errant drives and of swimming with the boys.

EW's Idolatry: Better than American Idol

2008-04-29T15:17:00.002-04:00

Idolatry is truly laugh out loud at times when they do the recap videos. By far, it's better than watching Idol. btw, the only way to watch Idol is to fast forward through all of the commercials, through any song that you hate, and through any judges' comments.

Hilarious diatribe as they rant (above) after Carly gets voted out with her terrific performance then Brooke skates through after she forgot her words, hit rewind, and started again (below).

Can't wait to fast forward through tonight; oh, scratch that. Can't wait to delete it from my TiVo.

Steroids in MLB: Should We Be Over It?

2008-04-29T08:58:00.002-04:00

I found an old email that I'd written to a journalist at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, with his response (see below). It was written a year ago, before the Mitchell Report and all of its aftermath. Is this behind us, should fans simply return to their ballparks and TV screens? And should we reward Commissioner Bud Selig by putting more cash in the coffers of MLB owners? I say no.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your article on Bud Selig. I probably have a slightly different take on the matter. Major League Baseball hid behind the Players Union as an excuse not to regulate their league for steroids. During the 90's, other sports were aggressively attacking this intervention into competitiveness. Fringe sports like Track and Field and Swimming were the most aggressive as the manipulation of the human body directly impacted results. Just ask Angel Myers Martino or Ben Johnson. I agree with you that Selig has always been a charlatan. Whether he and MLB willingly decided the benefits of players on steroids outweighed the impact on the integrity of the game isn't that important to me. Selig managed the league from 1992 until now, and I firmly believe all results and records should stand as they are recorded. Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Palmeiro: all of these players played the game based on the rules and testing in the game at the time. The whole idea of interviewing players ten-fifteen years after the fact to determine whether they took steroids is preposterous. Even beyond the financial well-being of baseball, the Commissioner should be the steward and protector of the integrity of the game. Selig was there throughout, and he has approved of the results of baseball by his existence and inaction for the last fifteen years.

I would also suggest that baseball writers have no business jumping in after the fact to whine about steroid abuse in the 90's, unless they were too young and weren't covering baseball at the time. Why Bonds and not Ripken? Why Palmeiro and not Jeter? Why Sosa and not Chipper Jones? Because they look like they were on steroids? Because where there is smoke there's fire? I am a layperson when it comes to steroids, but in my mind we only need to look at Track and Field and Swimming to see the level of sophistication that abusers have gone through to beat the next test. Without real-time testing, then every single player is legitimate yet every single player is suspect.

I'm afraid that the baseball media collectively seem to be a cross between Aretha Franklin and the camel with its head in the sand, the diva that they so despise in players yet ready to bury their journalistic intuitiveness in darkness of ignorance. I do agree with you that Selig should show real leadership and passionately follow Bonds, but I also feel that he should step forward and do the following:

Take responsibility for the probably steroid abuse rampant throughout baseball in the 1985-2004 (give or take a few years)
Declare that no players who played during that time will be judged any more after the fact
State that every box score documented during this time period accurately reflects the performance of all players during this tiime

All of this was the greatest blight on the game of baseball since the Black Sox scandal and the segregation of MLB, and the top man has to be held accountable.

(from the AJC writer)

Craig ... Thanks for the comments. Because the baseball union has always been the most powerful of the pro athlete unions, it was always going to be an obstacle for MLB to get drug-testing. In fact, the union only started to cave after Congress got involved -- that's for all of the people who said Congress should worry about other things. That said, yes, the owners should have pushed harder. ... I also agree that the media should take a hit for this, and many of us have articulated that on the air waves and in print the last few years. But it's a fine line. The media gets criticized all of the time for throwing out accusations and things that aren't true or can't be proved. But now the media gets criticized for not writing more about steroids when, in fact, it would've been difficult, if not impossible, to have any evidence in a story. As for who has been the media whipping boys in all of this, it's pretty obvious why: Bonds is approaching the HR record, Sosa and McGwire assaulted the single-season record, Palmeiro was VERY high profile in his denial of ever using steroids before Congress, etc. I have never heard steroid accusations regarding Jeter, Ripken or Chipper. Trust me, it's not like any of us are covering for them.

(AJC writer today)
Craig, my thoughts haven't really changed on the subject, although to be honest with you I've hardly thought about Bonds or baseball and steroids lately. I think testing will continue to get tougher, but so will ways to evade it. I don't think sports will ever be clean. But there has been some measure of progress. The true judgement on people like Bonds and others will come with Hall of Fame voters. It's already happened with McGwire.

=====================
I've left the writer anonymous as I never had an intention to put his email here. I'm not sure how appropriate it is to email a journalist as simply a reader then publish the response, so I'll leave the anonymity. So, is all of this still much ado about nothing by me?

To My First Born

2008-04-25T14:34:00.002-04:00

My eldest is missing his soccer game this Saturday (gasp!) to go on a 6th grade church retreat for the weekend. We were asked to write an encouraging note to our children. Here is mine.

Some people think that a father’s job is to discipline children so that they don’t act up and get in trouble. Others believe the job is to protect them from all the bad people and circumstances in the world; that way, nothing bad can happen.

It’s a lot more complicated than that, and you’re just starting to see it. The job is really one where you try to equip your child with values and skills while creating an environment that gives them the best chance to be a terrific adult. Values and skills are two very different things indeed. Skills are abilities that you either have or can foster and grow, things like studying, playing a sport or instrument, and even being someone’s friend. Values are the beliefs that guide everything you do, from the very big decisions you make in your life to the quick choices that you make a dozen times a day.

It would be easier if parents could simply decide everything for their child, kind of like you were setting up a new character in a video game where you could determine everything they would become, everything they would believe. God didn’t make any of us that way; he gave us free choice. He designed you and me to decide a zillion things every day, from irrelevant things like what we’ll wear and eat to huge things like if we believe in Him, if we love Him, if we will follow His will in our lives.

As you know, I am a Christian, accepting Jesus as my savior when I was nine or ten, about when you did. My own faith has grown and changed over the last 30 years since I was twelve. It’s been difficult for me at times; sometimes I wasn’t cool (OK, almost all the time!), sometimes I was left out of things, sometimes people made fun of me. When your Mom and I were first married, we worked with high school students in Princeton, New Jersey as advisors at our church. They were so different than the kids I’d grown up with; super-smart, but most of them questioned everything and didn’t believe much of anything. We realized that just saying, “God loves you, Jesus died for you, and that’s all true because the Bible says so and I say so,” isn’t good enough.

God didn’t make robots, and you aren’t a robot. It’s OK to have questions about your faith. It’s OK if you hear something from someone and have questions about it or don’t agree with it. All of that is what it means to move from a child in Christ to a Christian. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13:11 “When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.“ God designed all Christians to not understand everything about Him and about how to live for him; that’s what it means when he says when he was a child, he acted like a child.

Becoming a man means to become smarter about God and also to start doing the things that God wants us to do in our lives. Sometimes, I ask God to show me what He wants me to do with the big decisions of my life. In Jesus, He showed us how we should live each day: to pray and speak to God, to love others and show them compassion, to do things and serve others, to read the Bible and learn through talking about it, and to understand the only way we can come to Jesus. That way? Not doing things, but simply admitting to Him that I sin and do wrong things every day, that I am really not good enough for God to love me, yet He not only loves me He allowed His Son to die so that I could have all these sins that I commit to be erased and forgotten.

God doesn’t ask you to be the perfect Christian or the best Christian. No, He simply asks you and me this question: I love you, do you love me? If yes, show me.

Quotes from Today's Call of Duty4 Session (from our Three Year Old)

2008-04-25T12:22:00.003-04:00

"Grenade! Grenade!" (subsequently, he blows himself up with said grenade)
"He's not a mean guy--he's my friend."
"Tanks! Cool!"
"Watch me blow the car up."
"I wish I had that gun."
"I'm not in trouble--Daddy's in trouble."

btw--if Soap is on your team, he may very well be a three-year old...

A Humble SNG Victory

2008-04-25T08:20:00.002-04:00

I've had trouble sleeping the last two nights, with too much brainpower being spent on work and business-future stuff. After another late night of work, I played two SNG's on PokerStars (one Step 2 using FPP points and one $20 NLHE SNG). I took down the cash one and finished 4th in the Step 2 (giving me a Step 2 ticket).

I don't know if this is of interest at all, but here are the 153 hands. I played tight throughout, took the lead early, was comfortably ahead until we were down to four players, when it became a dog fight after a shortie shoved my 77 raise with Q-10 (Hand #75). I got bumped to the short stack on the next hand, got lucky with a 7-6 short shove, then scrapped and clawed to get into the money. 63 four-handed hands later, we were in the money. I had the chip lead after the next-to-last four-handed hand, identical hands (Q-10) that hit on the queen on the flop got all the money in, and I hit a backdoor flush to cripple the bubble boy (Hand #118). I was pretty patient three-handed, waiting to snap-call a guy when he re-raised my button raise (I had Ad-6c). HU lasted one hand (my AA vs KK), and that was that.

Tourney stats from PokerStars:

153 hands played and saw flop:
- 11 times out of 35 while in small blind (31%)
- 11 times out of 35 while in big blind (31%)
- 10 times out of 83 in other positions (12%)
- a total of 32 times out of 153 (21%)

Pots won at showdown - 9 out of 14 (64%)
Pots won without showdown - 37

I haven't played SNG's in awhile, and it was a nice change of pace (although these games have really tightened up a great deal, even these low stakes). I'm interested if any regular SNG-ers feel the same or have other observations. I could show you the others I've played recently that lasted a dozen hands (open shove ahead of me, I pick up 10-10? I call--oh, queens...), but what fun would that be?

Which Is Worse? #1

Hopefully, this isn't a recurring series here, but here goes. Which is worse:

Your three-year old son peeing outside your house in the middle of the day
Your wife telling your son not to pee outside the front door but to pee off the deck instead

I'm not exactly sure myself, but welcome to the neighborhood!

The Demise of the Television Audience Hits Politics

2008-04-23T09:45:00.002-04:00

OK, this is a bit complicated, so hang in for a second.

We're all quite familiar with how the television has changed over our lifetime (my lifetime). When I first watched "Days of our Lives" with my Mom, television was black in white in so many ways. We had two or three channels (NBC, CBS, and ETV sometimes) on our black and white set. Clear cut choices, either this or that. ABC joined the mix on some weird second dial (the regular channels went 2-13, and ABC was on Channel 16).

Fast forward to today, and I have a couple dozen high-definition channels and who knows how many channels (I stumble upon new channels when I'm surfing the guide). I can watch shows on stations so specialized now that the interested audience seems to be the size of our neighborhood. The major network's viewers have fractured their viewing behaviors as they have become more nuanced in the specifics of what they do and don't want to watch.

So what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Plenty.

Obama and Clinton are in a slugfest for the Democratic nomination while McCain sits with the Republican nomination. Democratic Party officials wring their hands about the damage this is causing while the GOP squeals with glee. And what is the difference?

Proportional delegates vs winner-take-all.

You see, we Americans no longer do what we're told nor think what we're supposed to. Pundits are searching for the next Soccer Mom category of citizens that, if only they could figure out the segment's characteristics and then bombard them with marketing, could get them elected.

Let's look at how neatly I fit into a category. I'm fiscally conservative, have a passion for taking on our long-term problems, was vehemently against invading Iraq yet feel we now can't quickly pull out, feel we have to reinvent ourselves on the global stage, pro-NAFTA, feel manufacturing jobs leaving the US will only accelerate, socially compassionate, passionately pro-public education yet feel the greatest problem with US education is rooted in our social problems (single parent homes, lack of parental involvement in their child's education in pre-K through middle school), green but not a nutjob. What will my criteria be for casting my vote in November? I haven't the foggiest.

And that's just me. If the GOP had a proportional scheme for linking primary votes to delegate assignment, I assure you we'd still have candidates banging one another. Jump up to 30,000 feet, and the question starts to look like this: who gets to decide on our next President? Suburbanites? Southern working class? The struggling poor? Those over 50? Those under 30? If there is any lesson that we can gain from this campaign, it's that the US is no longer a clean-cut nation. I would guess we haven't been for awhile; regardless, we're a fractured nation. If we had a parliamentary system, where niche groups built a coalition to select a Prime Minister, I assume we would quickly see a dozen political parties and new governments on a pace more like Israel's revolving door than our current model.

Is this a good assessment, should we care, what does this mean to the three candidates and two parties, and what does this mean for each of us?

Own Goal Misery for Liverpool

2008-04-22T20:09:00.003-04:00

Is there an equivalent to the own goal in sport? The error in baseball that leads to a winning run scoring is probably the closest. With goals so scarce in soccer, the own goal is especially devastating. Put it in literally the last second of a game where you are up 1-0 in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League semifinals...

Well, not a good evening to be John Arne Riise, that much is sure. Chelsea 1-Liverpool 1

Great New York Times article on David Blaine's attempt to break the world record for holding your breath underwater. I've never really watched him much, but the article gives us a glimpse at how we're continuously peeling the onion back on what the species Homo sapiens is truly capable of. The goal: hold your breath over 16 minutes.

My Wife's Photo #4
Originally uploaded by csquard

Long but great weekend filled with four soccer games plus a fifth that we watched (Atlanta Silverbacks). Our middle son played in all four games (two on his team and two on his older brother's 6th grade team). Both boys are showing great improvement this season, I think frankly due to being ballboys for the high school soccer team (and seeing the different things they are doing up-close rather than any great coaching they are receiving from me). The rain has wreaked havoc on our season, so there is a big backlog of make-up games (hence the four games in three days).

We're moving ahead on the redesign of this site, and I'm extremely excited to get it knocked out. It will be an experiment in better design and in monetizing a site, and I think I'll keep track of that component and report on it regularly. Any ideas that anyone would like to fire in are greatly appreciated.

I also am trying to figure out if I'll be at the WSOP at all this summer. I haven't reached out to anyone yet, although I would probably be up for more in-depth player profiles (my bread and butter, I think). I'm also hoping that a return for the Main Event with Stars works out, but I'm not sure about their coverage. I spoke to a Harrah's representative about alot of changes in the works for this year, and I think we'll see a significant upgrade in the look and feel of the venue. More about that if I'm allowed to write about it.

I had the opportunity to conduct a phone interview with her about this time last year, an interview which I did not publish. In retrospect, many of her answers seemed to be of what she hoped to become rather than who she was. She seemed to dream of functionality, of achievement, of glamor, of normalcy. It was telling that we spoke when she was in Florida rather than in Vegas or LA.

I don't want to delve into any life lessons hers imparts for us. I didn't know her nor have claimed to. I did reach out to her after she'd returned from the hospital during a tournament last summer, the IV bandages still on her hand or arm, I can't remember which. She attracted attention like a moth to a flame.

What Should I Do in a Recession? Part II Little, Big Ideas

2008-04-18T15:49:00.003-04:00

"We’re heading into the worst economic crisis in a half century or more." Robert Reich's Blog

My post in January, What Should I Do in a Recession?, has been by far the most popular post this year. In it, I highlighted some steps you and I can take as the recession approached:

Aggressively reduce debt
Find one-three additional revenue streams
Prepare your resume for August 2008 and June 2009
Make the switch if you're thinking about it
Celebrate life
Acquire opportunistically
Wait a bit longer, then spend on advertising and marketing
Don't shrink away at work
Hold off on toys
Take the losses

As we've gone from a fear of recession to living in the midst of one, here are a few small and big ideas to make certain you emerge from the end of this downturn in decent shape. Some of these may seem flippant and irrelevant, yet many of these can be very powerful as catalysts toward lifestyle change.

Set a cost-cutting goal with your entire family I've decided a fairly ambiguous one to tackle that will involve everyone is our home energy bill (electricity and gas). It is ambiguous as our older two boys (12 and 10 years old) have never seen an electric bill nor can they easily see their actions turn into cash. There are many things they can be involved in to reduce our energy consumption, many things we all can do. Our goal will be a 10% reduction for the next billing cycle. If they can do it, I'll split the 10% between our two oldest boys.
Measure your costs If you haven't looked at your year-to-date costs, then do so. We use Quicken, which makes it much easier. Look at where your money is going at an aggregate level with an item-by-item scrutiny.
Set a cost-reduction goal for Q2 If you need to look at last year's financials to determine if you have any April-June special costs, then do that. Then set your monthly and quarter goals. Use this business best practice as you set the goals: a target and a stretch goal. The target is a goal that you feel 90% confident that you can reach, while a stretch goal is a level that you know will hurt, will cause lifestlye change, and you feel 40-60% confident that you can reach.
Start a Cost Avoidance Bank Find a big bottle you can see and start filling it up anytime someone in the family makes a decision that eliminates an expense item for the day. Examples of expense items can include eating out, a car trip somewhere that is foregone (a previously irrelevant cost that has now become very tangible and easy to measure), or some regular activity that is skipped or eliminated. Take the amount of money saved each day or couple days, put the actual cash in the bank, and record it with a graph.
Celebrate small wins One of the toughest parts of change on a big scale is momentum, especially if the goal is ambitious and forward looking. Set a goal for this week or next, and have something that you delight in that you and your family will receive if you achieve your interim goal.
Save ten hours of wasted time next week This is such a tough one for me to even contemplate, but it means moving minutes and hours away from leisure things and putting them toward productive actions (whatever they may be). Try to simply estimate what activities take your discretionary time and find ten hours starting Monday for the next week. It will be painful yet eye-opening.
Strengthen your network This is even tougher for me than #6 as I absolutely hate what I consider traditional networking (e.g., networking meetings, phone calls, etc). Having said that, take specific actions to add to your network and strengthen your existing list of contacts. Build a database, set goals of contacting 1-5 people a day/week, call someone from outside of your company for a drink/coffee/meal.
Use your cash If you have cash or can get your hands on it, you have a powerful bargaining weapon in your personal and professional life. Use it. Pay upfront for 10-25% discounts, as well as negotiating better products and services. Pay upfront for longer-term services if you have confidence the provider will be around.
Build your cash On the flipside of this, work hard to build a liquid cash reserve to give you the flexibility to make good decisions, avoiding choices based on desparation.
Appraise your assets If you haven't already, take valuables like jewelry to a trusted jeweler and have them appraised. Catalog your items in a spreadsheet or in your financial software. Look at your insurance and be certain your possessions are protected.
Protect your assets Assume that burglary will increase in your neighborhood, because it will. Get whatever devices you need then create new habits to protect your most valuable items.
Liquidate your assets One of the hottest new ways to do this is the Gold Party. You invite a local jeweler to your home and invite friends to bring gold jewelry (especially if you or your significant other has gifts from previous relationships), and the jeweler buys you and your friends' stuff. With gold at $917/ounce, it doesn't take much to add up to an extra $500 or $1k.

Bellagio Five Star WPT Preliminaries Rundown

2008-04-18T14:18:00.002-04:00

Just in case you thought cream doesn't rise to the top, here are a few highlights to the 19 preliminary events leading up to tomorrow's $25k WPT Championship at the Bellagio:

Event #13 ($5k NLHE): Michael Binger (1st, $317,280)
Event #11 ($1.5k Ladies NLHE): Vanessa Selbst (1st, $182,200)
Event #12 ($2.5k Seniors NLHE): Bill Baxter (1st, 138,900)
Event #10 ($2.5k NLHE): Darrell Dicken (1st, $223,330)
Event #8 ($5k NLHE): Toto Leonidas (1st, $189,400)
Event #7 ($3k NLHE): Michael Mizrachi (1st, $154,960)
Event #6 ($2.5k NLHE): Bill Baxter (1st, $149,755)
Event #4 ($5k NLHE): Scott Clements (1st, $206,280)

The Five Star is really the pro's pros tourney. On-site satellites fill the field with hopefuls, but this is really a redistribution of wealth plan among the tournament regulars, top cash players, and grinders hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. That's a pretty stellar lineup of winners above. Vanessa is a sick aggro player when she's on, one of my favorite pros to watch. Bill Baxter's double up has to be super sweet as well.

I'll be checking into the final event over the weekend.

Closed: Redesign in the Works

2008-04-18T13:25:00.002-04:00

I've closed on redesigning this site, transitioning it to an entirely new look and feel, moving it to a WordPress platform, adding stuff, etc. Thanks to everyone for your ideas and input, and special thanks to seattlejohn for the recommendation (although where did his site go?). More to follow.

Too Tough on Obama?

2008-04-18T10:25:00.002-04:00

When I asked for feedback about my site a few weeks ago (what do you like, what do you not want here), there were more comments about no politics than anything in the things that people don't want to see here.

So with that, the Democratic debate. Or should I say the debate about the debate.

Seems that there are two schools of thought (maybe three) regarding the debate this week in Pennsylvania:

Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos asked red-herring questions in the first forty minutes of the debate, rehashing irrelevant questions of Obama specifically which the media has overblown lately (e.g., his small town quote, the Weather Underground guy, etc).
Charles Gibson and George Stephanopous asked tough questions about character and policy; they pointedly pushed the front-runner and brought to light issues which may be the key to whether he will win the General Election or not. Obama and Clinton agree on many topics, so what's the point of rehashing them again?
Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos inadvertently continued to prolong the Democratic Party's mess of selecting their nominee, setting up a train wreck of a National Convention and strengthening McCain's case to be President

The Washington Post has a great summary to check out, complete with comments from every blogger, media analyst, and pundit who's weighed in on whether ABC did a good job with the debate or not.

I didn't watch the debate and currently have no time to dive in, but the summary is a great recap, imo. Thank you, Howard Kurtz.

Stupid NBA

2008-04-17T12:39:00.002-04:00

The Atlanta Hawks bound into the playoffs with a 37-45 record, the worst regular season record for an NBA team headed to the playoffs since the '85-'86 Bulls (30-52). If you look at the NBA standings, Golden State, Portland, and Sacramento finished with better records in the Western Conference yet missed out on the playoffs.

Why not do away with all of the divisions and conferences, play a balanced schedule, and have a sixteen-team playoff? Here are the match-ups if you went with the sixteen best teams now:

1 Boston v 16 Portland I'm not sure who would be seeded ahead, but let's go with point differential for the sake of argument to give the Trailblazers the lower see. Should be a Boston win.

8 Utah v 9 Orlando I know so little about the NBA, I have nothing much to say here (go Dwight Howard?)

5 San Antonio v 12 Golden State I'm a huge Tim Duncan fan, so let's hope they get through this squad. btw, this is the Warrior squad out of the playoffs.

4 New Orleans v 13 Cleveland Upset special? Can King James carry his team to upset the upstarts from the Crescent City?

In the bottom bracket:

2 Detroit v 15 Toronto I like Chris Bosh, but the Pistons roll here.

7 Phoenix v 10 Dallas Very nice match-up. I like the Suns in spite of Shaq.

6 Houston v 11 Denver The Rockets are bizarre and will win if they keep the mini-bar unlocked in the Nugget locker room.

3 LA Lakers v 14 Washington Easy first round for Kobe et al.

If the seeds were to hold up, that would put the second round like this:

1 Boston v 8 Utah
4 New Orleans v 5 San Antonio
3 LA Lakers v 6 Houston
2 Detroit v 7 Phoenix

Since we're on a roll, why don't we relegate the bottom three teams to a Triple-A league (Miami, Seattle, and Memphis)?

And does anyone really care about the NBA or the NHL out there?

Hedge Fund Manager Earns $3,700,000,000

MGM Mirage Layoff: More Recession Shoes Drop

2008-04-15T10:08:00.002-04:00

Just in case you needed more convincing, MGM Mirage (operator of the Bellagio and the largest casino company in the world) announced a layoff of 440 managers amid two consecutive months of revenue decline. Room rates are down nearly 20% from a year ago, a clear sign conventioneers have cut back and gone elsewhere.

Harry Potter Fanatics vs JK Rowling

2008-04-14T14:18:00.004-04:00

I have to confess I'm pretty indifferent to the Harry Potter phenomenon, although the incredible success of JK Rowling is remarkable in its own right. I know this must be common knowledge, but I was more than intrigued when I learned that she was suing a fan website, Harry Potter Lexicon. I don't know if the Wall Street Journal Law Blog post about this will show up (have to be a subscriber), but I'll try anyways. And now she's decimated by the legal struggle? Hogwarts or hogwash?

Money, money everywhere, and not a drop to drink! btw, here is an author who is screaming that she wants to create "...a similar compendium..." yet she doesn't update her own website in 2008. Hmm..... You can head to the NY Times for their coverage as well. They do a better job of laying out more of the specifics, that she is suing RDR Books for their plan to publish a book by Steven Vander Ark, the author of the Harry Potter Lexicon website, for a print version.

The Masters

2008-04-14T08:17:00.002-04:00

So I got to sit down and take in the final round of the Masters, the most hallowed tournament in American Golf (note I'm throwing a bone to The Open or The Championship, whatever they call the British Open). If this were any other sporting event, the Commissioner would be scrambling with his staff this morning to figure out how to change the rules or the course to make the final round more palatable.

It was, in a word, awful.

There was Tiger Woods, lurking way back to start the day yet with only a few pretenders to the throne between him and leader Trevor Immelman. We were provided the entire round to view rather than the final nine holes as had been broadcasted for years. And the entire field fell by the wayside throughout the day.

CBS did us no favors due probably to the restrictions August National places on them to broadcast the Masters. I assumed it was the wind combined with the hardened greens and newfound length that beat these players about the head continuously, but it was difficult to really get a good gauge on what exactly was going on out there. It's not as if anyone who has played golf could not sympathize with what every player was going through.

It just became a NASCAR race with literally the wheels coming off the entire racing field.

And what of Tiger? None of his major victories have been of the come-from-behind variety. Would Jack Nicklaus have overtaken the field yesterday? Would Nick Faldo have snatched a green jacket from Immelman? Heck, we would have watched Chris Evert among the patrons this week if new hubby Greg Norman would have led this field on a Sunday.

The frustration was really all the short putts that were missed yesterday rather than the irons that went askew. One guy missing these short putts is fine. Me missing these putts last week is understood. But all of the chasers pulling and pushing five footers?

One word will come to mind when I think of the 2008 Masters.

Yuck!

Me and the Boys

2008-04-13T16:01:00.005-04:00

A wonderful few days of escape. The gift of my life, our youngest after we were done with newborns and diapers.

Our second son, always eager with a natural joy and smile.

Our eldest, like me. He's twelve years and six months old, and every month that he still cherishes me is like nectar from the gods, the postponement of a child's drifting away from his father much like debris in the tide.

It was a good few days.

I was eating lunch yesterday and read "In Search of a Lost Africa" from Sunday's NY Times Magazine. It recounts a woman's memories of her time growing up in Liberia before and during the coup in the 70's. A breathtaking story.

Nothing quite like a post about a recent California judge's ruling that home schooling is illegal if a parent is not a certified teacher to get the juices flowing on a Monday. The case will be reconsidered by California's appeals court.

When we first started going to our church here in the ATL, education discussions would always shift to either the church's school or home schooling whenever we were with other couples. Home schooling was viewed as a matter-of-fact superior option to public education, as was Christian schools. It seemed as the force rankings were Home School, Christian Schools, Private School, and Public Schools.

My wife and I have always been public school folks, each of us coming from public schools in the South (hers surely a better school than ours in my town of 18,000 in Mississippi, although mine was highly rated in the state). Like many arguments, it is easy to have an opinion on the matter until you have children impacted by those choices. Then, the decisions become more real and pressing.

I still come out strongly in favor of public education. The schools are the single most important criteria for our decision to live in this subdivision. I would say the quality of schools is probably 75% of the importance as to where we live, with the nearest other criteria being 10-15% (and I don't even know what that criteria would be).

My wife has two Bachelor of Science degrees (Chemistry from Furman and Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech), and I'm sure she would be a great teacher to the boys or to other children if it was something she wanted to do. It would seem to be much easier to manipulate the morals and values of our three boys if we home schooled them or had them in a Christian school that shared most of our values. And believe me, it isn't an argument to be taken lightly with so much personal risk confronting our children, much less the academic development relying on their eduction system and capabilities.

Yet it is precisely for the diverse and challenging environment and students that they go to school with that we've decided to have them in the public school system. We want our boys to grow into men that share our values and excel academically. To that end, I feel that putting them into a big pond with ongoing involvement by my wife primarily (and me to a lesser extent) gives them the best chance to excel.

Of course, I've never really investigated alternatives very seriously, so I may simply be naive. Still, I'm very happy that our boys are in great schools where they are challenged and enjoy themselves.

Thoughts?

GOGOGOGOGO TIGERS!!

2008-04-05T20:45:00.002-04:00

OK, so I had nothing much right in my March Madness picks--nothing, that is, except the first of the two teams to play for the National Championship. That would be Memphis, formerly Memphis State. A couple of comments:

I've watched very little of the tourney, but Don was absolutely right about Billy Packer. He was a total homer for UCLA the entire game, describing them like they were some 20-point favorites who were just laying in the weeds throughout the game.
Not once did the announcers talk about the Memphis offense, and that is really the secret of this team. The Dribble Drive Motion offense, described in SI, has a similarity to the Spread Offense sweeping NCAA football. Vance Walberg developed the offense while coaching a Fresno junior college, and credit Calipari with discovering a diamond in the rough when he saw it.
I've seen Memphis play live twice, once last season and once this season. The difference in the offense is night and day. Last season, they looked like an undisciplined mess on the floor. Now, it's systematic chaos.
Can you imagine a better NBA training than running this offense for Calipari? Beat your man off the dribble, then either take your shot or kick it out for a three or another penetration. No more boring isolations, two-man pick-and-roll, or high screens. This is the playground with discipline.
Finally, think about this for a second: Memphis didn't play a great game. Sure, they made free throws (thankfully). Simply put, they lined up and were superior at every facet of the game. This was not a team with no room for error. Hardly.
UCLA was overconfident and did not play with desperation. The winner of the second game needs to come with that sense of urgency if they are going to have a chance.
I have no opinion in the second game, but to that end I think Kansas will be a more desperate team going after Memphis than North Carolina will.

If you TiVo'd the game, go back and watch these guys. I really think this is a special team.

Sinead O'Connor

2008-04-03T07:56:00.002-04:00

It was October of 1992 when Sinead O'Connor took the stage of Saturday Night Live. The performance is legendary, an a capella version of Bob Marley's "War" with her hairless head framed by the giant earplugs to keep her in tune. At the end of the song, she produces a photo of Pope John Paul II and rips it to shreds. Missed in the ensuing hoopla is how wonderful her performance was.

Standard? Big Slick in Cash Games

Careful, poker content to follow...

This looks pretty standard I'm sure, but I'd be interested in your thoughts pre-flop, as well as post-flop here. Obviously, the result is nice, but in cash games I've become a bit more cautious with AKs, especially facing a re-raise (early in the session, so assume fairly tight range here).
