I’m trapped in a screen play. It’s the first and last thing running through my head each day, mingled into everything else I’m trying to do. I am excited about it and like the way it’s moving, especially after receiving feed back from some good friends that have given me new insight and different avenues to consider. I’m hoping another week will put me right where I want to be with it and then…well, baby, the sky’s the limit.

I dealt an unfriendly little $600-$1200 mixed game on Table 1. Curtis, Shaun, Oscar, and Eli E. Curtis made quads twice, once in 7 stud, and he wasn’t happy about it because he caught Aces up showing. Although he didn’t make quad Aces, he made quad deuces and got paid off to the River, he still complained.
Then he made quads in High Low Regular, heads up, and had to split the pot and he complained about that too. More than once he made the comment that if “they” (the other players) had been running as bad as he has, they wouldn’t be able to stand it.
Oh well…the rest of the poker world goes through the same shit every day, most of them just don’t cry about it.

The $10-$20 Blind NLH game had a lot of action in it and someone said Chris Moneymaker had been there earlier.

The most fun game of the night was a $2-$4 NLH game. The player in the 3s asked me if I was Linda from Pokerworks. We visited back and forth during my down. His name is Ron and he’s from TX. He is a true fan of this site and was extremely good to me in flattering my writing, the time it takes to post here, throwing money in my pocket, and meeting me.
He got involved in a three way action pot, the other two players were all-in for different amounts. One player held A-A, and for the life of me I can’t remember what the other player had but I believe it was A-Q or A-J. Ron had 8-8. The Flop was Q-8-? with an 8 on the Turn.
He threw me a big tip and blurted out, “See what happens when you’re nice to Linda.”
His whole appearance and mannerisms were top of the line. He loves the Sam G. posts…who doesn’t? He said sometimes he felt really bad for me when he read some of them and other times he couldn’t stop laughing.
Fortunately for the rest of us that live and work in Vegas, Sam must be in CA at a tournament because he’s a “No Call/No Show” on my shift the last week or so.

My site is being moved to another server, that means no posting or changes to anything by me for a few days. Maybe that will give me time to find the escape hatch from the ‘screen play time warp’.
