Back to business...
So woke up today and had a little drama at home, so Bobby and I had a little "boys day out". We hit the office for a few minutes to see if our wireless internet was back up... it went down last night at home and we thought maybe we'd have better luck at the office. Nope. It's down. One of the detriments of living out in the country (with cows) is that internet connections are shoddy and unreliable. Definitely looking forward to the future when you can just pull out your portable laptop and connect instantly anywhere in the solar system.
Afterwards we hit the cardroom in Fresno... Club One. We figured they probably would have a nooner on Sunday, and sure enough... $19 got us into a pretty crazy and cool limit holdem tournament. The structure was SO bad. At one point I think I was the chip leader with about 50k in tourney chips when the TD announced the 12 minute round was up and the blinds were increasing again... from 2k-4k to 5k-10k. Six hands later and we're at 10k-20k. I mean it was SO sick. I still managed to make it to the final table and then get knocked out tenth. I'd love to see poker become really huge in Fresno, but I don't see it happening at Club One unless they change a lot of things about their tournaments. Cardrooms need to stop looking at tournaments as just a way to get the customers in for the live games. They're trying out a big $330 buy-in tourney on either March 5th or 6th (can't remember which), and the TD tells me that the structure is going to be great. We'll see. Hopefully I'll be in town because I really like playing with and meeting people here in Fresno.
Speaking of cows, by the way... someone asked me why I put the pic of the cow at the end of my post. The reason is because we have four young cows in our front yard... we also have a dog named Lucky who likes to run the cows. He chases them and makes them do laps around their little area. It's funny as hell to watch... they all run and they're in this little cluster pushing their faces up against the asses of the other cows... it's awesome.
Big shout out to everybody Gianna and I met and hung with in Copenhagen. Brad, Joe Plummer and his dad, ZeeJustin, John Gale, Duthie, Jessie May and his very talented wife (she takes the photos at the major tourneys), Marcel Luske, and of course Noah Boeken. Man, you all watch. Noah is quite possibly the best player under 30 in the world. A lot of people probably credit it to Marcel, but the truth is Noah is a genius games player and was long before he ever got into poker. When he won the tournament out there in Copenhagen, I couldn't have been happier (unless it was me or G). I checked right away to see if NoahBoeken.com was registered, and it wasn't... so I picked it up for $7 and I'm going to try to sell it to him for a profit. I'm thinking $14. I know that a 100% markup might seem a little steep, but he can afford it now. Lol... just kidding Noah. (BTW - I think everybody needs a website to at least let people know how to get in touch with them... especially people who are in the spotlight. I checked out both of the stars of the Word Wars doc and neither of them have websites... I really wonder how many opportunities would be opening up for them if they did.)
Shot some phone calls off but am having trouble with internet, so the emails are going to have wait until tomorrow. For everybody who's bid and won a percentage of me in eBay: now that I'm back in town I'm going to try and get on the horn with all of you and set everything up. So if you haven't heard from me for awhile, expect a communication tomorrow or Tuesday. And speaking of eBay, there are only about 7 hours left for my 25% auction. It's got a bid, so it WILL sell... click here to check it out.
Read a post that Paul Phillips made about me where he says that I'm not totally irredeemable. Thanks Paul... if I ever redeem myself we'll have to play some Scrabble sometime... speaking of people who think I'm a POS, I had a pretty lame interaction with Greg Raymer at the Copenhagen tournament. I'll tell you all about it in another post. Suffice it to say that there are plenty of people out there who don't like me that I like, respect, and sometimes even admire. Greg Raymer isn't on that list... he's a great player I'm sure, but personality-wise I pretty much think he's an ass. I'll go even one step further than that and say that I don't believe that Greg is happy with life, I definitely don't believe his WIFE is happy with life, and I don't think that he's a very esteemable person in real life. Like I said, I could be wrong.
Anyway, Phillips pointed to an old blog I used to keep, so I figured I'd link to it here as well. It's VERY old... and yes, there are some things on there that I'm not that proud of... but it's who I was and if you're reading this then maybe you're interested. Here's the link.
Finally... an old friend of mine named Jimmy sent me some info about Toby. Please check it out.
Save Toby!
ps - I've been rereading a lot of Chuck Pahluhniuk and Steven King lately... kind of getting bored. If anybody has a good book to recco, feel free to post a comment. Cheers.

To anyone who has purchased or is thinking of purchasing a "piece" of this criminal in San Diego, you are throwing your hard earned funds down the toilet. I along with two others that Russ ripped off money from will be there and it is our intention to harass this man so frequently that he will not be able to concentrate. In other words, it is my intention to be his shadow at any and ALL tournaments that this scumbag shows up to play. When he makes arrangements to pay the 1500 players back, then and ONLY then will he have peace.
Sounds like a good idea. When someone owes me money I always make sure that they can’t go to work until they… have the money? Also, I doubt that the casino would let you “harass” some in their place of business.
Gorgeous.

Honestly, Neal, give it a rest. Nobody's perfect, not even you my friend, so if he made a mistake or two along the way, cut him some slack. He's trying to atone for whatever mistakes he's made. Are we allowed to do that, or is it one and done? Because, I'm fairly certain you've done more than one questionable thing in your life.
Dutch, thanks for explaining the cow. At first I thought you visited us here in Wisconsin. Good luck with the auction. Hopefully you can fill the wallet of the winning bidder.
Hey Dutch, I think your a pimp. Even though your high all the time, who doesn't like to lay back and chill every once in awhile. As for Paul, that guy is a f@g. He looks like he has a stick up his @ss. He thinks hes awsome becaue he is retired. You da man playa. Cal me if you wanna chill somtime. PEACE
Hey Neal, why dont you just hope he does really well in the tournament so he can get some money to pay you back. And maybe he would be more likely to pay you back if you didnt threaten him every other day. Just my opinion that if you acted more respectable, maybe you two could work something out. I know it may be hard considering what happened to you, but just give it a shot.

He made an 80K score in the 2003 WSOP and paid nary a nickel to anyone. He is a sociopath which by definition means he is a pathological liar. If he cashed in this or any tournament not only wouldn't he pay his past debts but he would screw his current backers too. Why do you think his own former friends (crew) won't even speak to him? Answer: because he screwed them out of money too.
neal what you propose is against the law; it's interesting that a wannabe criminal like you derides dutch for being a "criminal" himself.
dutch, check out cryptonomicon by neal stephenson.
that's a pretty low class thing to say about greg raymer. you knew how he felt about you before he won the world series and that he wouldn't have anything to do with you if you ever ran into him in person. you complained about this guy saying something about your girlfriend on rgp and now you post something about his wife? you are a lowlife, sir.
p.s. wonder how long it will take before this gets removed?

I suggest HARRY POTTEr
your a dork
I thought it was common knowledge about Gianna, his girlfreind, please, the going rate is $1000 to bang her and $500 to get your stick waxed. Where else do do you think this "guy" is getting money from. It's ironic that the heading on his blog is "because everyone pays his own way". He has never paid his own way and is incapable of doing so.
Honestly, I can't believe how low this has gone. His girlfriend has nothing to do with anything. By talking about his girlfriend like that, you are sinking just as low as what you believe he is. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And for the guy that called him gay; that's not an insult, it's a sexual orientation The only people that use sexual orientation as an insult are the ignorant and the bigots. Which are you?
ccccccccccccccccccccc
I do no tthink you shuld trash other people loved ones Dutch that is pretty low of you but what would you expevt from a guy who steals ove rthe internet. A spoiled brat is he.
I remember the good old days when niel ross said he would have police officers with him the next tournament dutch goes to and have him arrested.
Unless Mr.Ross is going to harrass dutch with police officers then Ross lied to us all and is just as much of a douchebag as he thinks dutch is.
If I lived in San Diego I would go to the tournament and kick your geek ass ross.
Oh shit i threatened NIEL ROSS. There's a good chance he'll be at my work tommorow with some friends harrassing me.
Dutch is the man so just leave him alone
Update, Russ "Dutch" Boyd was arrested today by U.S. Marshalls and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown San Diego, he is charged with mail fraud 93 counts. God Bless America.
Ya tgif god bless america
This is hysterical:
