PokerWorks HORSE and goodby Chris

PokerWorks HORSE Tourney begins tomorrow, Sunday the 16th at 21:00 Eastern Time.  Seriously – be there!  I managed to take 2nd place last week and I’ve put almost all of my gigantic Chasing Chris Ferguson bankroll into the buy in.  If a lot of you show – and lose – and I can place, it will boost my teensy bankroll.  To which I would say, YIPPEEE!  Otherwise I’m back to freeroll city.  Just go to PokerStars, right now will work, click on ‘tourney’ – ‘private’ – scroll to 2100 hours, look for PokerWorks Family – shell out $5.50 and get ready to chat and play.  See you there!

Law Breaker

Damn it!  I broke the law again tonight.  I just couldn’t contain myself and jumped right into a poker game on PokerStars.  Kee-rist!  What’s the world coming to?  I’ve broken the law almost every day for years now.  You won’t find me out speeding, or selling drugs to kids, or looking for kiddie pornography, or robbing a bank or stealing or planning physical harm to anyone…but you will find me playing poker on the internet.  It’s a given!

Government Bullshit Strikes Again

2 Comments

Just think, I played poker tonight on Full Tilt Poker, a charity tournament “Bad Beat on Kidney Failure” to help someone that is in need and in a lot of pain.  But it’s a criminal act because the government doesn’t want us to play poker online.  And what did they really accomplish with all the noise, expense, and idiocy of the UIGEA?  I’m still playing, aren’t you?

Get in the Game

This is about poker and LIFE!  Life as we go through our daily schedules and routines and manage as we fade sickness, poor health, and trying to survive feeling like shit, and trying to find a way to pay our bills and even our rent.  There’s a charity tournament kicking off tomorrow at Full Tilt Poker.  Read about it. Then get your butt into a chair and play, play for the fun of playing poker, play because you have heart, and play to win.  But just remember that taking a seat in this cause means you are already a winner.

WSOP winds towards the end

The long road of reaching the champion has almost hit the end.  And I’m home, actually feeling worse than I did when I posted last.  I haven’t figured if this is a cold, allergies, flu, or all combined but it’s been hell.  I would hate to be out and about and expose anyone to it nor would I feel like being anywhere else, hell, I don’t even feel like I want to be in my own skin right now.

S-i-c-k!

If it was mental illness I’d figure to be all better shortly.  Since I live my life being mental, I know pretty much how to go with the flow.  But this is a damn virus/germ thingy either donated to me by Riot or his mom.  I’m down to sinuses that are almost under control but the last few days have found me feeling quite puny, like I had the flu – but not.  That’s either something to laugh about or cringe about since some of the people I’ve known that were my age felt like they had the flu and then died in their sleep of a heart attack.  Not funny, but kinda funny when you’re me. My sis and I joke about it and declare that we’d better keep our life insurance policies in effect.  Well, we are sick bitches, what did you expect? Continue reading S-i-c-k! →

Tomorrow is…

once again the glorious day that we’ve all waited for for the last two weeks is here. It’s POKER TIME!  Let’s meet at PokerStars, 2100 EST, in a private tournament requiring the password ‘donkeys’ and a $5+$.50 entry fee on Sunday, the 2nd.  Don’t be late and bring your chatter box fingers with you.  We will be playing H.O.R.S.E. and everyone will have an opportunity to play a game they favor.  Look for ‘PokerWorks Family’ or Tournament #117214558.  C U There!
