on Sunday night was diverted to Heaven.  Hell froze over!  How did it happen you wonder…umnhhh…thinking…thinking…thinking… Continue reading Everyone that was going to HELL →

It’s time to start thinking HORSE…the gigantic tournament that our loyal group of players and PokerWorks Family likes to beat each other up play every other Sunday evening.  We’d love to have you come out and join in the battle, chat it up, and hopefully enjoy playing mixed games with us.  All the particulars:  Password – donkeys; time – 21:00ET; where – PokerStars; date – Sunday, February 8, 2009; cost – $5. + $.50.  Now on to the ‘more’ Continue reading The HORSE – and more →

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 →

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.

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.

Today’s plan is a jaunt into Las Vegas.  The sun’s is out, the wind seems to have settled, and it’s a perfect day to do outside projects but instead I’ve opted to head into Las Vegas and get my Riot Fix and spend some time in a card room with Marie – or just doing lunch if we don’t feel like sitting at the green felt.  How’s that for a super exciting way to spend a few hours in one of the hot spots of the world? Continue reading Bright lights and Government – what a mix →
