I had some pictures to put up, and started a post that required pictures. Alas, programmer changes going on at PokerWorks and the image manager is on hiatus, or dead, or just flat out to lunch for eternity. The programmers are working on it, so I’m told. And incidentally, for those of you that don’t know, I have no control over that, it’s in someone else’s hands. So the picture posts have to wait.The pre WSOP tension is going on right now. In a few weeks the city will be cranking poker 24-7 to the nth. I still have my dreams about playing in it but something happens every year, or perhaps I allow something to happen every year to prevent me from putting my hat in the ring – I don’t know the answer. Mansion poker is offering a great opportunity for players to win a seat in the main event. I’ll keep maxing out my brain cells and see if something fantabulous develops so I can play. *Miracles do happen*

I blew off most of last week as a dealer – part of the getting back into feeling physically good thing.

This week I’m back in the box. There were two games in Bobby’s Room that cranked later in the night last night. It was an all star appearance, Jennifer Harman, Daniel Negreanu (BTW, he read and super liked the article our writer Katie didwith him), Patrik Antonious, Sam Farha, and more. I heard the limit was $4-8K but I didn’t have to venture in so I didn’t.

I met one Tangoreader in a $4-8H game. The encounter was delightful. Some of the players were a bit off their game protocol, folding out of turn, table talk, etc. After having a slight brush with the 1s – it turned out just fine but he was angry with me when I cautioned him about folding when the 9s reached for chips – the 8s was in a hand and the 7s was talking to him. I cautioned the 7s about conversation during a hand. The 8s won the pot.

The 7s said, “I get chastised and you win the pot.”

The 8s said something like, “…yes, and she’ll write about it too!”

I gave him the direct look then – sure he was kind of concealed beneath a hat brim. We chatted. He told me that he had made a comment about Missoula MT and A River Runs Through It, and then I had written about it…I know I was a bit sarcastic in that writing because I have heard that reference more than once and it gets *throat clearing* OLD! But I can’t even remember the post right now. He said that a friend of his sent him my post and it was on the same day that he had played at my table. I didn’t ask his name, I wish I had. Hopefully we will cross paths again because I liked his table demeanor and attitude.

So…no pictures…no more post today. Later!
