I have, on occasion, the urge to bonk people with […]

I played in two cash games this past weekend, one on Friday night and one on Saturday night. At the game Friday night, not only did I lose the entirety of my original buy-in, I bought in AGAIN, lost all that and then bought in a THIRD TIME (I managed to break even on […]

The funny thing is, I’m not white.

Prairie skirts are in fashion this season, while dusty pastels and neutrals are being introduced to offset trendy bold colors and […]
