Odds and ends


I'm leaving tomorrow for the North American Bridge Championships (called NABC) in Philadelphia. I have some nice partners -- Kate Burton, Cindy Bernstein and Rich Rothwarf -- so I'm excited. This will last for 11 days and ends Sunday, July 22.

When I return, the 2012 World Poker Open will be ongoing at the Gold Strike Casino, and I may just have to go play in a few events.

In August, the Bridge World Championships will be held in Lille, France, and I'm excited to say I'll be going to play in the Transnational Mixed Teams. I believe they are calling it the World Mind Sports Games now, and, besides bridge, it includes chess, go and draughts. More on this later.

Above: I played in a small MTT today. My bust out hand: I had K-Q and the villain had 4-6 suited, all-in preflop. A 6 came on the turn, natch.

  7. It would seem that you are experiencing the fact that once you retire you somehow get busier than ever. Best wishes on all your endeavors. Perhaps I could go to France with you. I could carry luggage, fetch your drinks, see that your camera batteries are charged, etc.? Oui?
