My Clients Make Me POOP

Date: Thu, Feb 3, 2011 Professional

I have played a great deal of poker vicariously, through my clients. They send me hands they played, and we talk about them. All clients send me hands at the beginning, and some of them send me hands for years. I ask that the hands be written up in prose form, with analysis [...]

In Gratitude of Gratefulness

Date: Fri, Dec 24, 2010 Professional

“Finish your food! Think of the starving children in China!” That was a typical thing for parents like mine to say to kids like me as I poked at the mucoid vegetables on my plate. “Think of the starving children in China.” That saying failed utterly at its purpose. All it did was make me resent the [...]

OMG THE EOP EBOOK IS FINALLY HERE!

Date: Tue, Nov 30, 2010 Professional

It’s been three years since my book Elements of Poker came out. Since then, I have received many emails that go something like this: Dear Tommy, If you don’t make Elements of Poker available as an eBook soon, I am going to nail my head to the floor. Your fan, Pat Hand Welp, it’s done. The EOP eBook [...]

The Pot of a Lifetime

Date: Tue, Nov 16, 2010 Professional

Back when I was writing poker articles for magazines, I started about 5 articles for every one I finished. Many of them never grew any longer than a title and an idea. Others I worked on for months, on and off, but they never passed the larval stage. Then there were some, [...]

Whale Down

Date: Mon, Oct 18, 2010 Professional

The opening statement about blue whales at Wikipedia reduces to: “The Blue whale is a marine mammal. At over 108 ft. in length and 200 tons in weight, it is the largest animal ever known to have existed.” Kathleen and I spent a recent day with some friends along the beaches and woods near Pescadero. We [...]

Dualities

Date: Tue, Sep 28, 2010 Professional

When did hot and cold come to exist on earth? Did they appear suddenly on our planet? Or did they arise gradually? How about long and short? Large and small. Young and old. Good and bad. Right and wrong. Does right and wrong rely on humans for its existence? How about weeds and non-weeds? If there were no humans, [...]

ZZZ Game

Date: Tue, Sep 14, 2010 Professional

Today I would like to share an email I received from my friend Gary Christy. Gary wrote: After work last night. Exhausted. Sleepy. Decided to give my poker itch the most minimal scratch—an $11 turbo sit-n-go. Folded twenty or so hands… and fell asleep in my chair, head slumping. My speakers were off, so I wasn’t awakened [...]

Rorschach Fire

Date: Mon, Sep 6, 2010 Professional

Kay and I went camping. Our friend Wendelin came by for a visit. She was sitting by the fire. It was time for a log, a chosen log, for her viewing pleasure. I placed a log in the fire and walked away. A few minutes later, Wendelin said, “Come here, [...]

The Save

Date: Wed, Aug 25, 2010 Professional

Dear Readership: I wrote this around 1992. THE SAVE Darryl sees the table that his leg is about to bump into but his leg bumps into the table anyway. Crash. Woops. Sorry. He’s thinking damn, what are they doing with those stupid skinny wine glasses in here in the first place? Used [...]

Max Attack

Date: Fri, Sep 11, 2009 Professional

If playing poker and coaching poker and writing about poker don’t work out for me, I think I could get a job as a wildlife photographer. As my resume, I would submit the spectacular sequence of photographs you are about to see. To be an expert in this field, you must have incredible patience. [...]

A Fish Story

Date: Fri, Sep 4, 2009 Professional

I went to a restaurant with a person. When it came time to order the entrees, the person could not decide between the salmon or the halibut. I suggested a coin flip. “Heads, halibut. Tails salmon,” said the person. The coin came up tails. The person ordered the salmon, and I did [...]

Shadow Casters

Date: Fri, Aug 28, 2009 Professional

The title of today’s post is still the most clever name I’ve heard for “big boobs.” Moving on… This is a picture I took at Point Reyes. I like this picture because it started out to be a picture of the grass and flowers, and it ended up being a picture in which to my eye [...]

Why I Am Politically Content

Date: Sat, Aug 22, 2009 Professional

In my opinion — meaning, in the ever-shifting unique reality that arises between my ears, which includes a vast accumulation of opinions that my reality has been exposed to — the United States recently went from having very poor leaders, to having very good ones, and an exceptionally good one at the top.
