KC Run bad,. Kids run goot and LOST anticipation.

Went up to Harrahs yesterday to play the $30 tourney. I finished 13th out of 60 when my AQ ran into the mighty KQ and got runner runnered for the flush.

Played 1-2 nl then and got hammered by a 7 outer on the river, a 5 outer on the river, and the icing on the cake, a 2 outer on the river. I can deal with it. Nothing unusual about any of those. I just needed one of those to hold to turn a smallish loss into a decent day. I was betting while ahead and shut down when I knew to be behind. The last one I called totally on tilt just so I could pull the oh so effective ridicule as you leave ploy. I just can not seem to dodge top pair top bad kicker and or non nut flush drawing fools. They always seem to get me no matter how priced out of a pot they are.

While waiting for a table, I put $5 in a slot machine and got three 7's on the 3rd spin. Knew that had to be pretty good. $50 good. Helped to sooth the poker injustice that follows me around like a cloud whilst at Harrahs.

Yesterday morning I was getting Thunder Son ready for school. He looks at me and says while sniffing, "What is that smell? It smells, it smells like toots." I leaned forward and blew in his face and asked him if it was my breath. He screamed yes and ran away from me. Up the stairs I go to give my the one two punch of Mentadent and Listerine. What can I say my Wife loves tossed salad. Or, I have a cold, you decide.

Looking forward to Lost tonight. I hope they focus some more on Miles and his Haley Joel abilities. I would love to see a flash back episode centered around his time on the island. I have to believe he has seen some shit he just keeps to himself. Do you think he will be the vehicle to bringing back characters...say like Charlie, Mr Eko, buried alive couple etc...? But wait you say, wouldn't he have said something already about some of the stuff he has seen. No way. First he is in it for himself. That is who he is. Second, they wouldn't believe him anyway so why try. I hope we get his perspective soon. Judging by the preview, it may be tonight.

LOST

Best episode ever.

MMMM..........Bacon

Yep, that's right Bacon. I blogged about the three foods that make every thing better. Butter being here. Bacon may be the the just a hair above the rest. It is my favorite by far. I have been extollling the virtues of bacon for years. Long before Jim Gaffigan so wonderfully captured my feelings. As he say's, bacon is the fairy dust of the food world. It makes everything better. EVERYTHING. Try arguing this and you will eventually come around to the inevitable conclusion that bacon does in fact help everything. See.




Any guesses as to the last of the great three foods?

Well Hello

Long time no post

Big day for us KU fans here. Rematch with Michigan State. They pretty much manhandled the Hawks earlier this season. KU is a different team now, so it should be a better game. The prevailing feeling around Jayhawk Nation is any thing past the second round is gravy. Kansas lost all five starters from the National Championship team. (Man, it is still fun to say that a year later). Not many people expected them to make the tourny let alone win the Big 12 and advance to the sweet 16. So hopefully the team plays loose and free.

Poker has been killing me lately. Same old stuff. Get in 4 to 1 favorite and watch the runner runner to counterfeit. Slow play AA and get the guy to go all in with top pair crappy kicker only to watch a third queen to peel off on the river. $300 wins become $250 losses really fast.

I have been trying to put a wrinkle in my game. After reading and reading about the power of the 24, I have deployed it in my arsenal. Results have been less than great. The Grump would say that I just don't believe enough. My faith is weak. Taking this advice to heart I recently gave the old 24 one more try, limping early with the pseudo monster. I prayed a whole lot. Low and behold I rivered the wheel with mini-slick. Have faith and ye shall be rewarded to the tune of exactly 2 blinds. Yep, made a huge dent in the over all profitability of the hand. I think it has just edged past 93os in total profits. It's like Alabama saying, "yeah we are stupid, but we are way smarter than Mississippi".

Played at the Harrah's KC recently. Had AA utg and decided to limp as raises were almost automatic in this loose 1/2 game. Of course 7 of us see the flop. Long story short. Q high board, I bet, get min rasied by younger guy wearing a pencil thin hair head band. I know all he has is top pair and I put him all in. He calls and rivers the Q. He then says "Sorry man" Does anything piss you off more than this occurance? Tip to you shaking hand, sorry types out there. If you beat me in a hand when I outplayed you big time, and you put your whole stack in as a big dog, don't say "sorry". Please, do not shake my hand. Stack your chips and move on. I love all the excuses too. Please!!!!, be quiet and move on. I was already on tilt from an earllier hand when my flopped two pair, A3, got counterfieted by runner runner. I had check raised his flop bet and he tanked finally moving all in while admitting he was behind and needed help. No flush draw, no straight draw.....A9. He put $100 in knowing he was way behind. The point is I snapped at the sorry guy later, and I shouldn't have. When he said he was sorry I told him "no you're not". He said something about being a nice guy while trailing off. Bad for the game. I do not want nice guys turning into me.

Centsports

Coolest web site I have seen in a while. You need to check it out. Sign up through this link and help me out.

It is a betting web site. The cool thing. It is free. They give you .10 to start. They match your bets initially and give you overlays as your bank builds. The whole thing is advertising driven. You look at a banner to get the overlays. Utterly brilliant. Wish I would have thought of it. Once your roll gets up to $20.00, you are eligible to cash out. You go bust, they give you another .10.

If you sign up a friend, you get %5 of each others action. You can see what all your friends have bet on.

One friend of mine has turned his ten cents into $3 in about 3 days.

Check it out

Bloggers are Donkeys

Don't know what was in the water tonight, but I got ass raped by the blogging community. Followed by "gg". Yeah, I played a good game, you were ass hats. An evil wonk got me tonight in the mookie. He calls a 3x bb raise in the bb with J3s. Then check raises on the fucking draw and hits on the river. "Sorry". Yeah, whatever.

Then I played the dookie and I guess you just call down with underpairs and fucking hope you hit a straight or flush or what the fuck ever.

Get in ahead and lose all fucking night long.

Fuck you donkey's GG right. Sorry. right. Bloggers are donkey's.

That felt good

No longer channeling waffles.
