Out the door shortly to return to Las Vegas and the electric chair dentist’s office. Ain’t it just wonnurful? I’m gearing up to spend more than a main event WSOP buy-in on correcting my bite. NO SHIT? Yuppers. I can’t go through the rest of my life the way the last 15 months or so has been…waking up with a dull ache in my jaw and mouth from wearing a rigid retained, never being able to bite into a hamburger, touching the area between my lip and nose where the evil tooth lives and feeling a tender pain, and all that crap. What if I found a young hottie I wanted to mash lips with? I couldn’t. I would have to tell him to wait a minute until I put the damn retainer in my mouth to keep the agony of pressure off of the evil tooth. Oh drear!
While a lot of the work will be cosmetic to a degree, it really isn’t. It’s to change my bite entirely. Just 10 veneers and plastic cap on the molars should do the trick to build up the teeth. Knowing that within 5 years I will have to have the plastic capped molars replaced with veneers or crowns, so in the long run, about three buy-ins to the WSOP main event when all is said and done. No, I refuse to have my teeth pulled and go through the rest of my life with dentures. My teeth really are in good shape and I’ve kept up with cleaning and fillings as needed and the thought of having them pulled makes me want to pass out. So my option is I’d better win some damn tournaments to fade the expense…get it, Card Fairy? Buzz off you bitch.

In a nutshell, the PokerWorks H.O.R.S.E. tourney was a success because I won because four of us showed and we got to jabber-wokie our brains out…I did most of the jabbering. djhomeschool was kind of quiet for a change and unfortunately, he was our bubbly guy too, but then someone had to be, right? He also says he’s got a new show up on valuecube and I promised to listen to it…I lied. I told him I would that night but honestly haven’t had the time. I will in the next few days and you should too.
Ryan made it to this one, which was really great because we haven’t hung out together for quite some time. He took 2nd. And my steadfast and always loyal friend Grupper, the kindly goat, took 3rd.
To everyone that didn’t show, sorry you missed us. Try to make it next time, OK?

The wind is kicking up again after being well behaved for two and a half days. Guess it’s a good thing I’m leaving the fair city to head for the big city. Laters!
Interesting quote I stole from The Razz Challenge: (and E-dog)
“You want to be a great poker player? Stop thinking you’re better than the randomness of the game. Embrace the randomness. Let people think you’re a wild risk taker. And start taking advantage of those afraid to risk their own chips.”
