The little hateful freak isn’t there because I won big bucks but because of a strange twist of interdimensional storms in the fabric of time.  (Yes, I do  believe in the fabric of time and even wrote a book on magic and the element of time called ‘The Chapters of Time’ that I’ve never completely edited).  But back to the Card Fairy.  The little bitch got thrown off the radar beam she has on my ass and missed being able to intervene in a few hands yesterday during a tournament on PokerStars. 

I’m sure that when her radar beam reconnected and she ran back through a few of the hands I made that she was so angry, and flying wildly about as she cursed and completely went ballistic, that she ran into something and damaged herself rather badly.  Of course I’m all for it.  I want her to take a hike into a far realm where the fabric of time has gigantic holes in it and hopefully she’ll fall into one, never to be seen or heard from again.

Here’s how it went down: I was just folding away, doing my normal game play thing of looking at cards that did not come out of the same deck everyone else was being dealt out of in cyber, distracted by an email, heard the ‘doink’ that it was my turn (playing on a desktop – working on a laptop) and looked over to see that I was in the BB, someone had raised for around $500, another player went all-in for over $2K on the button, and I had K-K.  Hell…what to do, what to do…Bull shit…I instacalled all-in.  The original raiser folded and I won the pot.  Shocksville!  I’m very used to starting with the best hand going into heads-up and getting my guts trampled out by a 1 or 2 outer.

I won the hand.  I think this is where the Card Fairy lost the radar beam although my ass didn’t tingle or feel any different at the time, my brain went into an elevated mode of peace and well being that I actually won a pot – the best hand stood up.

This is where it gets really weird and I know the Card Fairy was way off base by now and may have been searching frantically for a bead on me, she may have even backed up looking for any trace of where I dropped off at or she may have been firing all salvos at her tech support team for allowing the trail to disappear.  I picked up KK at $100-200 ante $25 when I had $6570 left in chips.  I rasied it $1200 more and got 2 callers, they both had different amounts and less than me so I wasn’t going bust in the hand.

One had A-K and one had A-A.  OMG!  Talk about frigging drawing almost dead.  The flop was 6-7-J-K-5.  This has to be the point where the Card Fairy went insane.

I won another pot later on in the same tournament with A-A against K-K.  I made it to 318th out of 7200 players and got 10.08 credited to my account.  Wunnerfully fun!

I have placed in the under regions of the money payouts in a few tournaments as of late and I admit that I give myself major obstacles to overcome with the size of the fields I play in, but I also have to admit that I like to play tournaments online.

In the world of poker, Marty Kramer passed on.  Unknown to many but known to all the dealers and staff that worked at the Mirage and Bellagio, Marty was not well liked by many.  Maybe when he left, he fell into one of the black holes in the fabric of time and collided with the Card Fairy.  RIP.
