It’s all their fault! Damn Bloggers! Love them with all my heart and little, weird, brain twists as I keep racing back across the city to hang out with them. NFR is in town, cowboy hats, major belt buckle city, and cowboy boots are everywhere and traffic’s backed up until hell won’t have it but I keep fighting my through it just to hang out with the bloggers for a few days.

Opening the ‘Later File’
I’ve had a variety of pictures that I wanted to put up – some involving the WPBT held on the 8th of July, Caesar’s Palace, in Vegas – and others of the WSOP – and possibly a few just because I want to put them up. Also, I never even actually finished telling the tale of the final night with bloggers. So let me start with just the high spots. Continue reading Opening the ‘Later File’
WPBT – July 8, 06 – Caesar’s Palace III
Ha! I made it back to the shindig post. I managed to escape on a couple of hands during the tournament. One where I held 10-10 on the Button. Chilly raised it – Rachel raised it, I thought about it for a moment, then folded, for all the wrong reasons because I thought she had a big pair, but as it turned out, I made the right decision to not go busted or become injured in chip count with this hand. Chile had 8-8, Rachel turned over A-Q off and hit a Queenon the Turn. Whew! I did pick up K-K once and won a big pot. Continue reading WPBT – July 8, 06 – Caesar’s Palace III
WPBT – July 8, 06 – Caesar’s Palace II
*Post Continued*
I’m cranking on the next phase of the Blogger shindig – and I’m tired – and I’m learning another phase of a Word Press upgrade. It’s a little bit mind shredding at times but the programmers I work with are the greatest. They’ve helped me on every step that I almost faltered on…sweet! Serge – Sarunas – Niekas – and the latest one that came to my aid – Bilikas. Thanks you guys – you’re the ‘stone nuts’! Continue reading WPBT – July 8, 06 – Caesar’s Palace II
WPBT – July 8, 06 – Caesar’s Palace

WPBT Report – the final
This will be an attempt to finish my WPBT report…but don’t hold your breath as I’m not holding mine. If you visit the first pages I put up, there are a few corrections with pictures and names and blog urls attached – instead of unknowns. Thanks everyone for sending me an email. During the coming weeks I may post a picture and if one of you knows the mystery blogger, please send me the name and URL. And if your picture is up, and your eye color isn’t exactly as you remember it was when you looked in the mirror this morning, it’s because you had major red eye in the picture I have of you and I ‘touched’ it up. Live with it…ok? Continue reading WPBT Report – the final
World Poker Blogger Tour – Imperial Palace
The WPBT – what an event. There’s not enough energy in my fingers and brain to fill in everything that happened today or to even begin to express my feelings about all the fantastic people that introduced themselves to me. I’ve never felt more welcome and secure in a group of people that simply come together to have a good time, try to beat each other’s brains out in a game of poker, and then go home and write about it. Incredible! I’m just a little old granny, pecking along in cyber space and slinging tickets across the green felt…but D-A-M-N!!! They made me feel like I’m a super star. Continue reading World Poker Blogger Tour – Imperial Palace

It’s ‘Blogger’s Eve’. I wish I was out pillaging and screaming with the rest of the crew, taking Vegas by storm, but this kid’s butt is dragging. Long day and it started early. I had to go across the world to Camping World – way early – and leave my truck for the fifth wheel hitch installation and then across a continent or two to Wheeler RV where I finalized the deal on my fifth wheel. When Darian and me, include Riot, pulled up at the office, my fifth wheel was sitting out in the ‘walk through’ parking, waiting for me to drive it away, and it is HUGE! For some reason, sitting in amongst the other fifth wheels and motor homes, it looked sort of…well…sort of…quite not so big. But when I’m pulling up next to it in a truck…Kee-rist! Continue reading Friday, December 9, 2005
First Annual WPBT Winter Tourney
Saturday morning found me struggling out of bed with very little sleep. Worked my full shift on Friday and I’d been invited to dance with the Bloggers at Sam’s Town at a 10:00 a.m. breakfast and meet and greet. The dance? A NLH poker tournament at 1:00 p.m. Continue reading First Annual WPBT Winter Tourney
