This is Joe.

Joe is one of my best friends, was one of my best men at my wedding, and one of the funniest guys I know. Joe is also a gambler, a big gambler some would say. I would be one of those that say said statement.

This is Joes poker story, and its a funny one. (more…)

I figured I would do a quick post for all readers with WordPress blogs. These are the wordpress plugins I use which I think are really cool/helpful. Google the names as is to find the downloads as must of them have been altered.

Wow, this was truly an incredible movie. If you have not had a chance to go see The Dark Knight I would suggest you run to the theaters now and see it. Heath Ledger was truly incredible and deserves as many awards he can win for this role.

I will not give any spoilers away, but The Dark Knight is by far the best comic book movie of all time. I would also say it is the best movie of 2008. (more…)

So I woke up early today like it was freaking christmas and I was 8 years old to update my iPhone to software 2.0 everything was about to be completed then BAM. Shit.

I am getting a couple of different errors, one is:

We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A secure network connection could not be established. Make sure SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 is enabled in the Internet Options control panel, then try again

now its:

We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.

The phone is stuck in emergency mode, and is asking me to plug it into iTunes, which it already is. (more…)

This weekend I packed up the car and took my wife and my bulldog Dozer and drove the 1.5 hour drive to Elk Grove, CA where our families are located. We are staying at my mom’s house in Wilton which is a puppy paradise. 3.5 acres, a pond, pool, and all the grass he can eat.

Alright so its almost been a year since I set out to have this blog created. Its time to get it going. As many of you know, my name is Brandon Berndt and I am the Poker Room Manager and Affiliate Program Director for ChanPoker.com. I love playing poker, and have a bit of a gambling problem.

Speaking of gambling, I often deposit $100 on Bodog just to kill some time at my game of choice Let it Ride. I do this as many times a week as I can before the wife catches on. Well lately I have killed their casino. Here are some screenshots.

For the first one, I only had $35 left so I was betting $5 (like I said its to kill time). Next hand I bet $10 and hit a flush, it was a good start. I ended up taking it to Blackjack and won another $200 beating $15-$75 a hand.

The second four of a kind was something special. I was down to my last $45 and was slightly tilted after losing 15 consecutive hands. Playing my self proclaimed can’t lose Berndt Let it Ride strategy, I knew the odds were on my side for a winning hand. So I bet $15 and was dealt 2 2 2. Jackpot.

I ended up taking the $2400 to blackjack, roulette, a bit of poker, and some $5 slots. I promptly cashed out $4900.

Now yes I have a couple stories like this, but most of them go; deposit $100, hit big hand, lose $1000 betting $100 a hand while on tilt. I am sure I will share these with you soon.

Anyways, hope you enjoy the upcoming blog. Sorry Bodog.

This is my first blog, and am really looking forward to it. So stay tuned for some good fun!
