write a positive note on poker. I cannot. Yes, my dear Monkey buddy, I have played, forgive me, Senor, for I have partaken of the evil delights of getting hands snapped again. Two instances in Sit n’ Go’s that have now slipped into the poker sewer sludge but still create a bit of turbulence in the gray matter as to “How does it continue to happen?” Continue reading I was hoping to

The poker sewer
It’s a continual barrage of ugly. I signed up for 2 tourneys today on PokerStars, one was a $5+$.50 with $15K guaranteed and the other the Daily $30Grand. I played in the $5.50 for around an hour and a half. I stole the blinds once with K-10 off. I never played a hand – first, it’s impossible to play 9-5, Q-4, 6-3, J-2, 2-3, 7-2 with an occasional A-4 off suit thrown in – in my opinion anyway. I never threw away a winning hand. I saw the flop once with 4-4, that was the only pocket pair I held. I finally picked up A-J off in early position and decided it would be my all-in venture (and it was the first ACE FACE I’d seen) with blinds at $100-200. I went all-in for around 1,300 and got called by 7-7. Not to worry, the flop was perfect for his hand 5-5-2-7-A. I expect it to happen that way. Continue reading The poker sewer

I watch beats hit other people continuously and I’ve gotten to a frame of mind that has helped me slip past most of my own ugly irritations with someone snapping me off. I still swear, but not all the time and not as much. It’s been a seriously frustrating few days of poker. I’ve made the money twice – not enough to make up for anything – and I’m still running like a dead nag heading for the soap factory. Continue reading Kinda Frustrated
Today was created to introduce tomorrow
and tonight I feel as if I’m ready for the introduction as I prepare to toast off into SandWoman Land. Today was really a great day. I had my little bud Riot for two days and we headed back to the old digs to take him to mom and dad and afterwards I went to Sylvia Hart’s Celebration of birth.
What a great time it was. She’s one special gal and a very good friend.
An early start today and the drive home left me ready to leave today behind. I will. G’nite, and thanks for all the laughter and fun we shared.
