My Bankroll Isn't Getting Big

I don't really know what it is about my playing that isn't allowing the bankroll to grow. Maybe I am not spending enough time watching tables before I sit down, maybe I'm not playing right, or I might be trying too many SNGs. Not sure, but my bankroll is not where I would have expected it to be right now. I have finally been able to download PokerTracker (not sure what was wrong with my PC, but downloading things lately has been a struggle), and hopefully after I spend some time analyzing what everything means, I will be able to figure out what I have been doing wrong.

Does This Officially Make Me A Geek?

The Fat Guy would be proud (at the same time disappointed). I have finally gone wireless in my house. Bought the wife a new Dell laptop - Inspiron 8600 and did a lot of upgrading on it. Spent a pretty penny on the thing since it will get plenty of use the next three years while she attends law school. But, since I have it for the time being (and I will be getting my own laptop soon) I wanted to be able to use this thing anywhere I pleased in my house.

I must say, this is pretty cool to be downstairs, watching American Casino on my TiVo and typing into my blog at the same time. This could really be a great thing.

Reason to Watch the LPGA

Wow, I found this on SI.com and have found a reason to watch the LPGA. Natalie Gulbis is the hottest thing on the tour. Check out her website. She is downright hot. I do find it upsetting that the LPGA cancelled her signing portion because of her calendar release. She looks great and if the LPGA can learn anything from the World Tennis Association (Anna Kournikova) they will learn to market this young girl and sell the sex. What else are they going to market? Dykes on Tour? Michelle Wie is only 14 or 15...can put the Tour on her shoulders just yet.

Whirlwind 48 hours

Well, my beloved Musketeers have lost their coach and named a new one in less than 24 hours. I have had a chance to fully process the situation and I really don't feel the same as I did when it first happened. To start off, I was pissed off about Thad telling the City and fans that he was in it to win it at XU. I believe the quote he gave was "I'm not a candidate. It's that plain and that simple." Now, this should piss off any XU fan out there.

My outrage at first was merely this comment. But after really thinking about it, I truly believe he was looking out for the program. XU is trying to land a top tier recruit right now, and the last thing needed is to have the coaching change talk going on. Now, don't get me wrong, I truly believe that he has lost an incredible amount of credibility in the coaching ranks.

On the flip side, I am extremely thrilled with the selection of Sean Miller as the new Head Coach of the Xavier Musketeers. I'm very surprised that XU has been able to keep him as long as they have. He is a great talent and I don't expect XU to miss a beat.

Here is to hoping that Matta will schedule a home & home with XU v. Ohio St. Right now, I would predict a super ass-beating by the Musketeers. Best of luck to The Ohio State University. You have landed yourself a great coach who will do great things. Xavier University will continue on the path of success by Coach Miller. I look forward to next year's season tickets.

Jim Rome on Poker

Romey is anything but amused by Fox Sports decision to air live poker. I have agree with him.
