Hi folks!
It has been a long month since we’ve last heard from your hero. The wife and I have a fabu trip to Costa Rica two and a half weeks ago…geez that feels like months ago. We had an adventurous week full of canopy touring, river rafting, site seeing, and walking….LOTS of walking. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually take the time to post some pics, but hey, who am I kidding?
Work proceeded to squarely kick me in the junk upon my return and I have had my head down since.
I managed to play in a few of the BBT4 events, but I just suck. I made a decent run at the Big Game, but got way too tight after I accumulated a nice stack from a turned nut flush draw and a pre-flop AK vs Hammer dual that held up.
Tonight I go to my first live Baseball game of the season. My son and his baseball team get to go onto the field before the game for some sort of fund raiser award.
Speaking of the Braves, I think what they did to Tom Glavine is just despicable. I’ve never held Schuerholtz in very high regard and now I think he is just trash. Tom is absolutely one of the best Braves of all time and to string him along then make up some BS about his ability is just plain false. Plain and simple the greedy fuckers didn’t want to pay the 1 million roster bonus he earned by rehabbing and getting ready to pitch. So in short, the Braves upper management can bite me. They’ve shown they have no interest in how they look to the fans of their team.
That’s all for now kids, back to work.
Once again I took down the Bodonkey..yay!!
This time I came into the final table as the leader and gave it up with about 4 players left. With three left, Smokkee had a nice lead on the table and I was second. I pushed QQ and was called by wwonka’s AT which obviously turned into a FH for him. The very next hand I pushed AJ and smokk doublled me up with AT. I took my time and finally got a few hands in a row. After a bit, I was in the BB with 2Td and faced a 3x raise vs smokk…I decided to see a flop. I flopped 2P on a 5d Tc 2c board with smokkee holding K7c. I check called the push and dodged all his outs.
Willwonka and I both mentioned deja-vu since we were in this spot just a couple weeks ago. I played the hammer on the first hand of heads up and wwonka just had no chance… I got TT, AQ, AA and finished him off with JTd vs Jx. Good times.
Next week everyone gets their change to tilt waffles as he has a bounty on his head, so sign up early and we’ll see you Thursday if I can make it.
Register for the Bodog Blogger Tourney!!!
Check Smokkee for more details.
I know all the Matrix tourneys are all the rage right now on Full Tilt. I refuse to deposit there anymore just out of sheer hard-headedness, so I’ve been plying my trade on Stars for the past couple of weeks. I happened upon their ‘double or nothing’ SNG’s and I’m loving them (enable doom switch now).
The table starts with ten and if you manage to outlast 5 of your opponents, you double up! (minus the vigorish)
I’m currently on fire with these all the way up to the $100 level, I have cashed in every single attempt. As you would imagine the play is generally frog’s ass tight in the early stages. I usually will take a stab with an open range early on to accumulate a few chips for the mid-levels when the table decides to wake up. Take note, these are turbos and the ante’ starts up around the 50/100 level. These are great for me, since I can usually slate only about an hour or so to play.
I would be interested in hitting up the re-buy donkfest set up by Numb and Dank, so let me know if you’d like some cash on Stars and we can swap.
Cheers all, sorry I’m not posting often I just don’t have much to say.
Ugh…I got myself started….watch this:
Can we just go start a new America somewhere else?
Use some Common Sense. We need to find a viable way out of this hole, Washington will not help us.
I also played the Riverchasers last night and won the damn thing. Here are just a few examples of cardrackery.

If you’ve read this far, I commend you and clearly you have too much free time.
Till next time CHEERS and have a good weekend!
Attention: I will begin cross-posting at www.iam23skidoo.com
I’m still busy tweaking(ie. learning CSS) some of the functionality, but it’s ready enough.
My 12 readers might want to update your feeds over there as I will begin posting there exclusively in ’09
Once again I found myself alone for the evening. The wife has been neck-up in school stuff for the last few weeks and doesn’t look to slow down for the rest of the semester. Her hard work has resulted in some spare time for me after the kids go to bed. Obviously I’m gonna take the opportunity to sling some cards.
I saw a 3+ rebuy to the 50/50 and figure what the hell. My only self induced exception was that I would not rebuy more than 5 times. I decided to start with the minimum of 1000 chips, and never rebought until the add-on.
At the same time I saw a 3K guarantee that was about to start with a little overlay, so I decided to join that as well. Then I realized it was limit. DOH. I buckled in and played G-cox tight until I accumulated some chippies.
The rebuy was easy and I got my 50+5 with a few minutes left of registration into the 50/50. I decided to cash out and take the T$ to focus on the LHE since I was hovering in the top 10 for a good bit.
I hit the final table as the short stack, but built up to 3rd in chips, unfortunately I sniffed out a bluff that ran into a straight and petered out in 5th.
So mark that about $30 invested turned into about $300. I’ll take that on any night.
Here’s a pic of the 3k final table.
Also a hearty congrats to Dusty who was busy taking down a $3 PLO MTT…Talk about ROI!
