In San Francisco

Hola

I'm here in Mountain View with Dallas... James is at work, but he's been an excellent host-- cooking dinner for us, hanging out with us, and yesterday he led our tour of San Francisco. We hit up Yank Sing, probably the best Dim Sum in the country, then walked across the city to North Bay and Ghiradelli Square where we had baller ice-cream and milkshakes. I love San Francisco, definitely my current favorite city in the U.S.

Our first night in, we went to Santa Clara where we partied with Ben and some random girls Dallas knew. We'll probably go back tomorrow night (Tuesday), though we have no real plans for tonight. We've been kinda relaxing all day, but I think I'd like to go hang out somewhere tonight.

In poker news, I started playing a little bit on my new site, and pulled in about 3k. Did a little coaching earlier today too, that was fun. Its actually really enjoyable to help somebody understand this game a little bit more, simply because I like poker a lot, and I understand it more than most.... its a nice thing to get paid for giving back to people in the same position I was in a year ago.

Poker subject of the day by the way:
TABLE SELECTION
TAG's are going to shuffle money around. Not-TAG's are going to lose it. You chose who you're going to play against. Sure, as you go up, the ratio of TAG's to not-TAG's gets pretty bad. So, don't play so many tables at high limits, don't play as often, keep killing the games for relatively low variance. I'll probably talk about this more, I just haven't thought about it fully yet.

Anyways, hit us up in San Francisco.
