Poker Review

I hosted my fifth game at the Eagles Friday night. When I schedule it I forgot about it being Good Friday. I really wasn't expecting a stellar turnout. Boy was I wrong! Our record there was set last month - 29 players including myself. By the time the cards were in the air at 7:00 we had 41 players seated and I didn't even play! I was so exicted to have that good of a turnout. The Eagles was happy too - we brought in $500 extra for them (beer, alcohol, & food). Thanks to all who came and played! I hope that we continue good numbers like this!!! The next game is scheduled for May 1st at 7:00!

Poker Recap

Well, after getting absolutely trashed on Friday night I decided to lay off the beer for Saturday night's poker game. Turns out it was the best thing for me. I played probably my best game last night. It seems that I changed gears at all the right times - I was loose and bluffed when I needed to, and I tightened up when I had to. There were a few mistakes I made against some tight players, but in the end, I pulled down 1st place for $180! I haven't been doing real well in other tourneys this year, but it seems that the NDPT tourneys that Brian and Frank put on have been my cash cow. Thank god, that's for sure. After the game ended Chris, Steve, and I headed over to the Eagles to big farewell to one of our favorite bartenders. Last night was suppose to be her last night, but she called off. Sucks - so GOOD BYE RU! I'm sure we'll see you again. Well, finally getting back to doing some more painting. Thanks to my friend Jason, I've learned the secrets of the trade, mostly. But even as quick and good that I can paint, I still rank it as one of my most despicable chores. I absolutely hate it. I don't know why. Ever hate something that you're really good at? Odd, I know. Well, enough ranting for this post. Back to work tomorrow. Lost to get done before then. Thanks for reading....
