How Libra Am I?

You are 53% Libra







Apparently, The fact I'm born close to Scorpio has some influence... (67% Scorpio)

Which is funny cause I've always said I was a Libra with Scorpio tendencies.



Airline Needs Press Fires Blogging Flight Attendant

I see the latest HOT topic on blogs seems to be the Queen of the Sky that got her ass fired for posting pictures of herself on the internet.

She should have known with the anti-liberal government in power that these things were frowned upon by less than 50% (Well, maybe closer to 50%, Bush actually won this election.) of Americans. A group made up of her employers obviously. If she'd posed NUDE I could, obviously, understand, but fully clothed?

Push for a Pull

Well, One night after getting knocked out of a $0.25 buy-in multi-table tourney I played a $0.50 + $0.10 Single Table Tourney. A very even almost cautious table I spent most of the tourney sitting on the bubble (Top 3 pay) but managed to play my patient game and grab the chip lead late in the game with 5 of 9 players remaining. I lost the chip lead a couple of times but managed to get it back. Made it to the Final 3 sitting second. Finally out played the chip leader for the lead and never looked back. Winning the 1st place payout of $2.25! (Sorry, no great recollection of hands tonight.) So that bring my Absolute Poker account up to $10.80 !! Give me a few more wins and it's going to start pull even with my Panther account.

Another 2nd Place Finish

I don't know if I can actually call this as good a win as the previous
2nd Place Finish I had a few days ago. Although this wasn't a
freeroll this was $0.25+$0.00 buy-in on Absolute Poker and
it was a much smaller field of 78 players instead of the almost 200
that were in the freeroll. I think the real money tournaments bring
out the better players although it's hard to say what level of player
will play a $0.25 buy-in.

It's a refreshing change though to have had two 2nd place finishes now
in one week on Absolute. I was beginning to think there I couldn't
win on there. I think my play must be improving slightly. Although,
if you still took the percentage of tournaments entered compared to my
finishes I suck some major ass. But I think it's a step in the right
direction. That brings my absolute poker real money account to a total
of $9.40 !!

My Grand Total Online Accounts (Panther and Absolute) equal nearly $30 !!

Poker Update

So, I know I've mention I would keep you updated as to how I'm doing online with my real money poker accounts.

I've been playing a lot of Freerolls while I have time off and actually spending way too much time playing freerolls but the finally paid off (not hugely) and I also finally managed to win some real money on another Poker Site.

First on Panther Poker I was playing in a few of their $10 Freeroll Saturday Tournaments and managed to finish in 2nd place! [My BEST EVER finish in any tournament.] and I won a WHOPPING $3 for my effort! But Hey, That's another FREE $3. That actually brings my Panther Poker Account up to $19.17 !! Now if I could stop losing my money on the $0.05/$0.10 tables I'd be doing ok. My Goal here is to hit about $50.

I really love the way that Absolute Poker looks. Although, I haven't done very well in many of their freerolls. I think my best finish was Top 50. I joined a $150 Guarenteed Special Freeroll where the Top 30 paid out. I was playing this tournament along side the same Panther Poker Tourney I won at so I wasn't concentrating very hard but I was doing fairly well. I hit a real sting of bad beats and ended up finishing 27th place! Winning me a Whopping $5.

Then I meandered around looking at what you can play in terms of real money there. I was looking at a $0.50 + $0.10 Single Table Tourney. So, with one seat left to sit in I decided to sit down. I ended up getting an early chip lead and was nearly three times what the rest of the table had. This was a really pleasant table all people were really talkative and friendly. I'd enjoy playing against any of them again. Anyway, Someone finally caught up to me in chips and as we slowly knocked off the rest of the table we finally went heads up against each other. It went back and forth a lot but I spanked pretty hard holding pocket J's and he had 9-7 diamonds which we both went all in on and he hit a straight knocking me down from being slightly in the lead to being slightly done with just over 1000 T chips. So I ended up going out 2nd and won $1.35. After the $0.60 buy-in that left my Absolute Account Sitting at $5.75. We'll see If I can build up this account to something decent as well.

In one last piece of news. I did something I guarentee I will NEVER see again in my entire life. While playing in a Freeroll Tournament on Absolute. I FLOPPED a ROYAL FLUSH. Yes, The VERY best hand in POKER nothing can beat it and I FLOPPED it while all in holding A-K clubs in the pocket. Which means I got the 10 - J - Q of clubs on the first three cards dealt to the board. I had to take a TRIPLE take to believe what I saw. Talk about MONSTER hands.

I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie

Well, Looks like the fashion industry *maybe* finally bowing to the pressure that perhaps the entire world is not a size 0 or . They've finally brought out Mannequins with bigger butts. Which I must admit makes a pair of women's jeans looks WAY better! Then again, I've never denied the fact I like a woman with some nice curves especially in the posterier!
