No, I don't think so.

LOL. I can confirm my net worth to be under that number.

You must be pretty damn balla to have a net worth less than your yearly income.

Do you have any aspirations to buy a castle?

No sir. I want to buy a hard drive crushing business in Oklahoma. Maybe one day.

What are you three best ideas for websites/poker products that you'll never have time to carry out?

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, the ones I wouldn't have time for aren't very good.

But I think *good* versions of the following would be helpful/profitable in some way:

1) A client program with tournament reminders, tournament calendar, RSS feed of well-known poker blogs built in, popular threads on major forums, etc. Just like a central repository for poker things, but in a different manner than some of the poker portal websites. I would make it a client program instead of a website for a lot of reasons which I don't have time to write out in this space.

2) A site that uses the PXF "text messaging" update idea on a large scale. And it would organize and tag the data a little better (ie, rank the stacks w/ a "last updated" timestamp) so it's easier to follow live poker tournaments. This type of system could get around a lot of the CardPlayer/WPT restrictions and the site could become highly traffic around that time period.

3) A pokerhand.org-type site with a flash based replayer in addition to text. Granted PXF does this now, but for some reason, I don't see it used too often. I think it needs to be marketed and organized a little differently than PXF does as the present moment.

4) This one is REALLY hard to do, but... a busted tees-style site with poker t-shirts is a monster business waiting to happen. The problem is that all poker t-shirts out there at the moment are retarded. And the classical concept of a "funny" poker t-shirt is also retarded -- no one thinks another line about "donkeys" or "but they were suited" is funny. But if a bunch of really funny and creative people made funny poker t-shirts, I think the market is out there.

Lots more things, not sure how obvious these ideas are. I think most of them are pretty obvious. The hard part, IMO, is not the idea. It's doing it well. All four of these things exist in some capacity, I just think they're underused/mismanaged/not optimized.

Do you have your own personal Lumbo yet?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"No, Lumbo is way too insubordinate. I'm not sure how sub deals with that. Plus he looks so much like Benyamine it would kinda freak me out. And I haven't found a good candidate"



Would this be like your understudy? If so can I be the first applicant?

[N 82 50 24]

No. Lumbo is sub's assistant/bitch. I don't plan on getting one, nor do I need one.
