That’s what we played tonight at the PokerWorks Tournament on PokerStars. It was triple draw…and painful. Too many one card draws to 7s and 6s and miss, miss, miss. P-U! I got ousted after my fair share of bad draws and hung around to watch the finale. Continue reading Badugi!

Like the storm waits for the wind to create it,
the poker table waits for people to make it happen. The table sets, at times alone, at times ringed with the heat of action and players waiting to join when the heat becomes unbearable for another. A simple construction of felt or canvas, wood and metal, drink holders, dealer’s rack, a rail, and chips, the table becomes the magnet that brings everyone together in a universal melting pot.

Petroglyphs in cyber
funny, we bloggers are the future of scratchings in cyber – petroglyphs, the way some of us write (include me in that) it is like scratching stick figures on walls trying to tell a story. So…here’s part of my story. Continue reading Petroglyphs in cyber
Let me be your guide on a little trip
that has nothing to do with nothing; just a ramble type of day. It’s a balmy high 90 kind of day out here in the big “P” and I’m watching Glenda in a freeroll on Absolute Poker. Of course I’m telling her to watch out, the Card Fairy may come out of coma zone shortly. Continue reading Let me be your guide on a little trip
The Card Fairy’s in Intensive Care
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. Continue reading The Card Fairy’s in Intensive Care
Things
Some THINGS are just ordinary type of things that we all go through all the time like breathing is repetitive…damn good thing. Then there are THINGS. I happened to get one in the mail the other day. It was a plain envelope with a postmark and stamp from Canada, sealed from edge to edge with no little gaps in the flap at either end. I often think about these type of things…because that’s the way I am. After I opened the envelope (hours later), I wonder at the person that sealed this envelope. Did they ‘work from home’ mailing envelopes out? Did they put a wish hex on the envelope that I would do as the contents would expect me to do because they are the evil perpetrators? Did they lick the damned envelope? If they did, I hope they cut their tongue on the flap. Continue reading Things
Let’s See
The wheelbarrow needs a new tire. Doesn’t seem important until you load it full of #2 gravel and it won’t move. The tire’s been filled up so many times it’s like an old gas guzzling caddie on a high speed run across the country. The sides of the tire have dry rot – and who knows how old it actually is. Continue reading Let’s See
WaKe UP, LINDA!
Wish it were so. I can’t seem to stay awake as of late. Did life just kinda catch up one day and I went into snooze land? Maybe stress from pre-trip got to me? I can’t figure it but I know I have the worst time keeping my head clear and my thoughts focused lately and napping just sounds like the thing to do. Of course you never get jack done if you’re napping…other than catching up on sleep and when you crank out of z-z-z-z land, everything’s setting there staring you in the face. The eternal treadmill never slows down…not even for lazy butts like me. For three or four weeks I couldn’t sleep longer than about four to five hours a night and seldom managed a nap, now I can’t stay awake longer than three or four hours without feeling like I need one even if I had extended sleep just a short time ago. AGHHHH!!
Notes of Interest
The first notable, most interesting topic of the day is the finale of the PokerWorks H.O.R.S.E. tournament played last night on PokerStars – we switched from the 8 Game Format back to H.O.R.S.E. and it was amazing how much faster it played down than the 8 game. We had 8 players and it was perfect, we were all seated at the final table. There appeared to be some sort of glitch at registration though and none of us know the answer as of yet. We had just started and had one seat open and it disappeared from view, as if we’d had a player there and they’d gone busto. Continue reading Notes of Interest
