Time, Time, Time

See what's become of me?

I've been trying to get into a more regular posting habit for a couple of reasons but posting from work is problematic (though I'm doing it right now) and my infrequent home time has been focused on higher priorities. Part of the reason is that lots of ch-ch-ch-changes are coming for me. I've been chomping at the bit to post about them but discretion is the better part of valor. Or something. Need to wait just a few more weeks.

A few quick hits before I return to the salt mines:

Definition of frustration -- playing $3/$6 OE at Wall Street against people willing to play pretty thin hands to the river, and having every single monster draw to a scoop miss. That becomes expensive. Yet I managed to climb out of a pretty deep hole and post a whopping $2 profit for the night. Hooray for moral victories, I guess. Line of the night goes to Matty Ebs in the following hand: 4-9s-Js flop. He leads, W raises, I 3-bet with 44xx no spades. They both call. Jd on turn and he leads again. W calls. I'm concerned about xxJ9 and am not sure what to do with my hand. After a moment of talking it through out loud, Matty says "What are you worried about? You're in a hand with me and W." Right-o! Raise it is. (My full house was good.)

Dawn Summers is still evil. It had been a long time since I witnessed her donktastic powers in stud/8. How she isn't broke by now is a huge effing mystery.

CJ and BG are putting together another Pick 6 syndicate (that's horse racing, not lottery). The last time they attempted a Pick 6 we missed the jackpot when our horse in the first race lost by a nose to the longest shot in the field. A nose. Of course we ran the rest of the table. CJ and BG are no dummies. Get into the action for a mere $25! Details at UFP.

In the meantime it looks like I'm off to Boston this weekend to torment the worst poker player ever. I'd congratulate him on his Mookie win last night but we all know even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. More to the point, he was HU against LJ who appears to have some kind of "always a bridesmaid" curse hanging over her head in BBT events.
