Under The I - Bingoguy

Spoke too soon.

2011-10-18T04:03:00.001-07:00

Wow, October. What happened. I thought I might be shaping together a plan or even a path of some kind. I believe I took my eye off the ball.

Work In Progress

2011-07-04T06:29:00.003-07:00

It would appear that I'm leaning towards posting on this blog instead of my much older blog (Link available by request.) [Note: I like to make it via request because this gives a modicum of effort on your part.] The decision to post here comes from the ability to quickly modify the template without much thought on my part. This allows me some more time to develop my next incarnation of my online blogging.

I've brought over a "feature" from the old blog now noticeable on the sidebar "Bingoguy's 5 Songs of the Moment". This would be one of the things I've always enjoyed updating so if I'm moving in to this spot on a more continous basis then it makes logical sense to bring this over. (It's also incredibly easier for me to update this here than it was in the old place although it wasn' that difficult over there either. I'm just sayin')

I'm going to attempt to use the label feature on most posts if I can remember. I hope that this will allow me to sort posts down the road for easy review by the person so bored in their life they actually read my post catagorically instead of chronologically. My sympathies to this person. This should also allow me to write on reaccuring themes Gaming/Poker, Music, Video Games, as well as the random stuff I used to rant about back in the "Good Ol' Days."

I'd also like to bring over my swearing filter I used briefly (which I "borrowed" from someone else) but was effective to allow me to drop F Bombs and worse from time to time. I find swearing a creative licence so deal with it.

A plan, path, possibly a vision. Holy Crap. I'm scaring myself.

Not a Good Time to Work for Full Tilt Poker

2011-07-04T05:11:00.002-07:00

I don't care how much money you spend on advertising your website on television and other media. It's probably NEVER good for your business to have it's LICENCE suspended. I'm not sure 'Scheduled Maintenance' really describes your dilemma.

Good Luck recovering from this disaster FTP.

Thunder Busters

When I originally heard that someone had the balls to mix AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" Vs. Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters" I thought to myself "Oh my god, this should be horrible." I was pleasantly surprised that it works not too badly.

Blowing The Dust Off The Cover

2010-09-02T09:04:00.002-07:00

It's alot like throwing something in a box and then later coming across it and thinking to yourself "Hey, I remember putting things in this box." and then opening it reminiscing about the things with it. (Most often covered with dust for neglect).

Not that I had a heck of a lot of things in this place that I would need or want to "reflect" on.

I came here again none the less. Take that as you will.

Coming Out of the Woodwork

2007-10-03T12:52:00.001-07:00

Well it's been a long time since I updated the Blogspot version of my blogs. I see that in 11 Days the Online Blogger Tournament will be happening. I'm contemplating entering this. I am not sure if I'll be able to make it because of work commitments BUT I'm going to start updating my Poker Adventures.

As some of you may know I'm a regular player at Absolute Poker and play here and there at other sites. I've played on at off PokerStars but due to the fact I've never had real money on their site my playing time has been limited. I did get a note that Negreanu has imalgamated "Full Contact" with PokerStars a little while ago. On my latest visit to PokerStars I discovered they seem to have a lot of Freerolls and Events for Canadians. Which means I'll give PokerStars some of my Online Poker Time.

Anyway, I'm rambling. I'll start updating again and if I can manage to keep up the regular posting for the next 10 days I'll apply to be in the Tournament. Hopefully, that'll be enough to satisfy the PokerGods. (tm)

How Much My Body is Worth

2007-07-13T10:01:00.000-07:00

$3705.00

I suspect I would be worth a bit more if I hadn't had to answer the question about working with bad chemicals (IE Second Hand Smoke) I'd be worth a bit more!

I must have been dreaming...

2005-11-18T05:50:00.000-08:00

Cause this can't really have happened.... too bad it wasn't for more money...

Whoa... I like these smaller MTTs !

2005-10-31T05:51:00.000-08:00

Check it out.... I'm feelin pretty good lately.

Hopefully, this is a good sign.

Well, Well, Well....

2005-10-28T13:00:00.000-07:00

I was on Absolute Poker today and I spied a $5 Limit Hold'em Multi Table Tourney with about 8 minutes to start and only 12 players in it. I kept my eye on it until it was about one minute before starting and jumped in the fray with 19 players in. There were 22 by the time it started. So, 3 table tourney and Top 3 finishers got paid. This tourney had Unlimited Re-Buys until the first break and 2 available add-ons during the first break.

I wasn't going to bother with the rebuys until I couldn't catch any cards. Down to my last 10 chips I decided to rebuy. On the IMMEDIATE next hand, after my rebuy, I hit a full house and doubled up. By the break I was in the middle of the pack and noticing some people were doing an add on I decided that would be wise as well.

So I had invested $15 and then my cards got good. I managed to play my way onto the final table. Tightened up my game a lot for the final 5 players. When it got down to 4 I was fortunate to hit a set against the #4 person in chips and sent them packing. I'd made the money. Although I was almost half the 1st and 2nd place chip stacks. Continued tight play and I managed to last all the way to 2nd place.

$55 is the most money I've won in one tourney. I'm stoked.

Finally... Goal #2.. $100 Bucks

2005-10-22T11:27:00.000-07:00

I did it finally...

I hit $100 on AP.

Just barely though but last time I had this much I only made it to $99

Audioblogs & Podcasts...

2005-10-18T16:03:00.000-07:00

Can you see the difference? I can't see the difference.

When exactly did this little form of communication change names. I think it's amusing that this fad has garnered the name "Podcast" since it infers you NEED an Ipod in which to listen to it and really all you need is an MP3 Players. But I guess "MP3Cast" isn't quite as CATCHY.

Poker Addict Update

2005-08-15T18:29:00.000-07:00

I just thought I'd update this cobweb-ridden space with some poker playing progress from my corner.

I still have managed to not invest any of my own money but I haven't been doing very well at my main hang out ABSOLUTE POKER of late.

Poker Bankrolls

Absolute Poker - $69.95
Panther Poker - $15.25
Poker Pages - $2.40

I've basically lost all the money I had on Superior Poker in my tailspin I hit a month ago so I haven't listed that since it's less than $0.25.

The money on Poker Pages although small is the result of a recent 3rd place finish in one of their $30 Freerolls. I have approximately 600+ points on their system which could be transfered into $6 of real money. Which would give me a grand total of $8 on their system. Those points come from a 2006 WSOP Round One Warm Up Tourney I placed 1st in. I've lost over 100 points just getting used to the players on their site who play pretty loosely with their points.

I've been slowly recovering from losing over $15 on Absolute and have been spending most of my time playing Sit & Go's for Points on Poker Pages re-tuning my game so I play more patiently when I play on Absolute for money. So far, it's translated pretty well and adjusting my game style has led to losing points rather than potential money. My goal on Absolute is to eventually crack $100. This goal has become more long term since I have limited my play there.

Panther Poker, is a roller coaster ride. I was peaked on their system at $35 and have taken steady beating on their ring tables to bring me down to $15. I really miss the Freerolls for money since they joined the same network as Poker Room.

When Luck Just Isn't On Your Side

2005-05-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

I've been on a bit of a massive slide on Absolute.

I peaked at $99 and have pretty much gone on a steady slide down hill. I'm under $70 as I type this right now. I just got knocked out of a $1.00+$0.15 Sit and Go by the following I can't tell you how incredibly bad this beat was.

2005-05-05T00:05:00.000-07:00

I quite enjoy playing 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. I find the split pot allows me to win a few more hands and over time I always seem to take a little more than I lose. Which when you're talking about gambling is a good thing.

I've been doing incredibly well lately in general at Absolute Poker. I've taken my account all the way to $70! This from a few weeks ago when I was fading and under $10! I've had a number of final table apperances in their $50 Freerolls. As well as winning a .25 cent Hold'em Multi Table Tourney for $13.53!

But it has been without it's moments I can't believe.

Where did I go wrong?

2005-04-15T10:23:00.000-07:00

I've had a really good week of playing poker. I've had 4 final table appearances in Multi Table Tourney's on ABSOLUTE POKER this week. Of course, These were freerolls that only netted me $5 for each finish (except the last one which was a $2 WSOP Qualifer that I finished in 7th and only the Top 4 places paid out). The Sad Part is when you work out the money against the time I made less than a dollar an hour because these tourneys take over 5 hours. I enjoy them though and give me the practice for real tournaments.

Anyway, Everything is always bittersweet with me. This upcoming hand is from a Sit and Go I played recently. It's hard to think I played this hand wrong I just hit some bad luck. You can feel free to comment though.

I can't believe I'm doing this... blame Karla

1. What year was it? 1987

2. What were your three favourite bands? Genesis, Foreigner, and Peter Gaberiel.

3. What was your favourite outfit? I wore black and lots of it.

4. What was up with your hair? I had shoulder length hair (it was the fuckin' 80's ok?!) I don't know what I was thinking cause my hair is fine.

5. Who were your best friends? Ben, Paul, Dion, George (and a cast of others)

6. What did you do after school? I was online doing the BBS thing still in 1987.

7. Did you take the bus? Unfortunately, I thought Mass Transit was very efficient in 1987. How wrong I was.

8. Who did you have a crush on? If it had boobs and talked to me, I was game.

9. Did you fight with your parents? I was teenager, you figure it out.

10. Who did you have a celebrity crush on? In '87, I think I was pretty hot for Ann Wilson (yeah, the dark haired one) from Heart. I would have died to kiss Stevie Nicks too in those days, too.

11. Did you smoke cigarettes? I'd quit two years previously.

12. Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker? What Locker? My locker got trashed so many times that it was a waste of time to have one.

17. What did you want to be when you grew up? I had no idea or desire to be anything.

What Will They Think of Next?

2005-02-08T23:40:00.000-08:00

I'm still a little shocked about THIS article in the NY Times ([Free] Subscription Required).

I can understand how a girl who forelorn in the throughs of lust/love and enjoys wearing stuff her boyfriend has recently worn. [I know this cause I dated one like that and my sweatshirts used to go missing on a regular basis]. BUT, BUT, I implore you, WHAT GIRL with the majority of her facilities would want to smell a smell from HER panties that reminded her of her boyfriend?!

Furthermore, What about innocent bystanders? As Ms. Gigglypants walks through the office and we're all allowed to share in the "woodsy" smell that reminds her of her boyfriend thanks to movement of smell via the air.

I don't get it, really I don't.

Valentine's Day

2005-02-05T07:05:00.000-08:00

I think it's quite fitting that this year for Valentine's Day it's most probable that I will be COMPLETELY SINGLE! I think for this very fact I might CELEBRATE Valentine's Day. All By Myself and I'll even have a Celebatory Drink (Perhaps some Champagne) to toast a day I can't fuck up in the slightest because I have no Valentine! Don't be sad for me. It's ok, I'm pleased as punch because I seem to be cursed when it comes to Valentine's Day and if I'm dating someone I most definitely going to forget or doing some grievious that makes the person hate me beyond hate.

Point in case, I once DUMPED SOMEONE on Valentine's Day! That's right, What a FREAKING Class Act I am! Hand me the Oscar!

But you have to read THIS because truely it's an awesome observation on Valentine's Day.

It Also proves once again there's someone else who's is a MUCH funnier read than I am. Which would explain why I only have TWO readers!

Hmm, I always thought I was a Nerd...

2005-01-30T06:25:00.000-08:00

You might have noticed, my dear two readers, that I've changed my template. I finally got tired of the dots although I always felt they had a bingo dabber (dauber) feel to them. I'm moving on to something else.

It's a work in process for sure. I'm not sure I like it entirely yet. I'll have to tweak over the next few days. I noticed I blew away all my old Blogger comments with the comments this template uses. Opps.

I definitely have to fix the sidebar. I gotta have the picture of the mascot "Super Bingoguy"

I wonder if you know why I picked a template with an Eye.

Do The Bingo Shuffle...

2005-01-21T07:49:00.000-08:00

One of my internet girlfriends did one of those meme's where you put your winamp or itunes or whatever have you on shuffle and see what ten songs come up. I did this about a month ago but I have lots of music. Insanely so, that it's always worth doing.

So here goes... I've had some really good ones in the past... I am due for an embarassing one.

1. Shakira - Underneath Your Clothes.
2. David Bowie - The Mysteries
3. Catastrophic - Enemy
4. Lawerence Gowan - Dancing On My Own Ground
5. Deep Purple - Hungry Daze
6. David Sylvian - Maria
7. Loverboy - It's Your Life
8. Frank Sinatra - Three Coins In The Fountain
9. Petra - King's Ransom
10. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Who's That Creepin?

Wow, I didn't disappoint. There's just a little bit of everything that's in my collection. I'd make excuses for why I have some of those tracks but you either know why or you don't care.

What's My Age Again?

2005-01-21T07:47:00.000-08:00

This is probably more true than I wish to admit.

You Are 27 Years Old

27

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Return to the Tables

2004-12-06T22:08:00.000-08:00

I had to go out of town recently for a company function. Once I was able to excuse myself from said function I managed to find a way to the new Casino in town. I hadn't been there yet and I wanted to check it out. I wanted most of all to see their Poker Room.

This was definitely a step up in terms of the amount of tables available for play than the one on the other side of town. I walked into the rather large poker room and wandered up to the desk to ask their set up. A Very Bored but beautiful young lady spent a couple of minutes explaining that this casino offered $2/$4, $4/$8, $10/$20, $20/$40 Tables. The $10/$20 and the $20/$40 I believe were NL (No Limit) tables. I was really happy to hear they had a $2/$4 Limit table. That meant I didn't have to buy in for as much (I bought in for $100 as opposed to $200) as I did the last time I played Hold'em at the other casino.

They were 13 people on the waiting list and it only took roughly 20 minutes to get down to my name on the list. I somewhat fluked out in the fact that I was standing wathing the table that I was sat at.

I was brought back to the table by one of the floor people and he put my chips out for me. It was a really strange entrance as I could sense the table taking a look at me when I arrived. I decided that I needed to introduce myself to the table in the strangest way.

I've always been a firm believer in going with your gut. (Although sometimes it's just gas). As I was taking my seat, and the dealer was asking me if I wanted to post, I asked where the big blind was only to find out it was my seat. Well, that meant I was in.

The dealer dealt the cards and since I was big blind I decided I wasn't going to even look at my cards to begin with. The majority of the table called the $2 opening bet and so when the bet came around to me, still not looking at my cards, I raised the bet to $4. Again the majority of the table called my bet. (I wonder how many people even noticed I raised blind) and the dealer dealt out the flop. The Flop was something Q-Q... so I decided I'd best take a peak at my hole cards because this could go massively wrong now. I peaked at my cards to see a the beautiful American Airlines looking back at me. I bet out and was called. The turn was insignificant so I bet out again, awaiting the raise, that never came. The River card was the most beautiful card I could dream of. It was the third Ace. Giving me a Full House. I checked which brought out the betting and I raised and was called and I turned it over first announcing "Full House" and I took the pot down. Going up $40 right away.

I spent the next five hours playing the table hitting a peak of being just over $100. I did flucuate down a bit but managed to recover without ever dropping below my original investment of $100.

The NEXT most memorable hand of the night came quite late into my evening. Holding Q-10 Spades in the hole I played a rather nasty board that ended up A-J-J-8-A. I hit the flush on the turn but was sure when the river turned the second Ace up that one of the other two players left in the hand MUST have an Ace or Jack to finish the full house. The guy to my right checked the bet so I checked and the button bet out $4 and having come this far I said outloud "Oh well, I gotta see it", of which the guy to my right also agreed and we both called the $4. I was STUNNED (although, I really shouldn't be thinking how loosely $2/$4 can be played by inexperienced players) by the fact NEITHER player had the Ace or the Jack. I looked to my left and then to my right seeing they both had crap I turned my cards over and said "I only have the Flush." Then the DEALER was noticeably shocked and asked aloud "Doesn't ANYONE have the Ace or the Jack?! Flush Pays."

I'd have to say I have uncanny luck going to an establishment for the first time and playing. I'm also well aware I ended up being up both times I've played face to face Hold'em Tables. I must admit to that I got great cards and the flops and subsequent cards went in my favour the majority of the time and made it rather easy to play my hands.

I lost two hands by being outkicked. Those hurt the most. One was holding A-7 and having a pair of aces only to be beat by someone holding A-8. I was also hit Two Pair Holding A-J on the turn on another hand only to get killed by a K on the river which gave the player holding A-K a better two pair.

As the morning started to arrived (Gotta love them 24 hr Casinos) the table got short handed and the other players were getting agitated by the small pots. I actually don't mind playing a short handed table. I find you have to play a little bit looser but if you get good hole cards with a decent flop you're in good shape to win short handed. Anyway, there was one too many players at our table to fit the holes on the other tables which would have meant one of us would have to go on the waiting list. I decided the was a cue and said I was leaving. Everyone's happy and I left up $68 bucks.

In Online Poker, I'm still sitting at $18 on Panther. Been taking a beating on both Absolute and Superior. I'm down to $7.61 on AP and $11.50 on Superior. I recently joined Royal Vegas Poker and they gave me $10 for signing up which made me think I was going to do well there but I am down to $1.26 and doubtful that I'll be able to get that back to the required $25 to withdraw it. I still think it's pretty good for an initial investment of $0 to any of them.

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

Airline Needs Press Fires Blogging Flight Attendant

2004-11-18T05:13:00.000-08:00

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

2004-11-17T21:35:00.000-08:00

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

2004-11-15T05:27:00.000-08:00

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

2004-11-13T08:27:00.000-08:00

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.

You Want a Piece of Me?

2004-10-28T20:37:00.000-07:00

As you may know I play a Fantasy Stock Game online called The Hollywood Stock Exchange Which is a place where you trade shares of movies and stars and try and make money. So far I'm sucking ASS. Big Time. I'm a little under my starting money.

You may also know that I at time do a Google search for my online moniker "Bingoguy" and see what the results turn up.

I was very shocked to see I'm being publically traded on ANOTHER Fantasy Stock Exchange BlogShares. I'm what you might call a penny stock. It looks like so far there's only 4000 shares of me out there and I'm worth about $1100.00 dollars. Whoever is invested in me isn't going to be making money anytime soon.

It's a bit embarrassing to point out how pathetic my readership is.

10 Random Songs

2004-10-26T05:17:00.000-07:00

So, I thought since this is the place where I put in crap that no one really cares about (and according to my stats no really reads either) I thought I'd play a little game that I found via Neurotic Fishbowl who was doing this because Tenth-Muse suggested it. (Who is in love with Electric Boogaloo, So Much So they live together [GASP!])

Anyway, They Turned on their Mp3 Player and hit Random and Let 10 Songs Play. Since you NEVER quite know what would come up from my HUGE library I thought I'd play along too.

So Without Further Ado, Here's What Played...

1. Diana Krall - Between THe Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
2. CCR - Down On THe Corner
3. Peter Gabriel - Red Rain
4. Lords of Acid - Show Me Your Pussy
5. Black Crowes - Cypress Tree
6. Mel C - Suddenly Monday
7. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Over At THe Frankenstein Place
8. Portishead - Strangers
9. Beta Band - Won
10. Killing Joke - Democracy (Nine Inch Nails Mix)

Wow, Minus the Mel C (an album my cousin asked me to download and give a listen to) and the Lords of Acid (I used to be a DJ in a Peeler Bar.) the list makes me look a whole lot cooler than I actually am.

Unbelievable!

2004-10-21T04:35:00.000-07:00

I did it.

Tonight, I took the plunge and sat down at a $6/12 Limit Hold 'em Table. I've played quite bit of Texas Hold'em. I've played in Tournaments and placed in the top 10 about 3 times and had what I consider decent finishes (Top 100) quite a few times.

The kicker is all my play has been online where people can't see me jumping up and dancing everytime I win a big pot or I start talking to my cards because I've gotten two decent hole cards.

No, This was face to face 10 seat Limit Hold 'em. This was going to be a completely different animal.

I really should back up a little. I first wandered over to the poker area after getting my butt kicked on a table game in the casino. The thought of playing actual hold 'em poker never entered my mind until I was pretty deep on this table game and I heard an announcement of some joe shmoe that his seat was ready in the poker room.

I left the table I was taking a beating on and decided out of curiousity to wander over to the poker area. There I found 4 tables. There were a lot of people milling around watching. I couldn't clearly see what the wagers were or how much you had to buy in for so I just stood and watched the table.

Having read at least one book on Poker (Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros) I kind of had an idea what I was looking at in terms of the player's seated at the tables. I probably watched the table for about 30 minutes. Realized the Blinds were $3/$6 and the majority of people arriving at the tables had $200 in chips. I continued to watch for a little bit when I decided "I think I could win at these tables"

I wandered over to the desk where the waiting list was and perused the house rules looking to see if anything extrodinary stood out to me that I would need to make note of but it looked pretty standard. I asked the guy behind the desk a few questions. Mostly, confrming the blinds and course of play. He told me the first two table were "sattelite" tables and that the main games were being played on the other two tables beside them. I, then put my name on the wait list and then went for a bit of a walk because there were at least 8 people ahead of me.

While I was walking I was thinking that I probably wouldn't stay long enough to even reach my name on the wait list. I made the circuit around the casino and then headed back to the poker room. I, again, stood by the table and tried to get a read on the types of players that were playing at this table where I would most likely start to play. Watching the hands and watching a number of player's playing right through to the river was another indication to me that my practice time online would do me well. That is, if I could manage to hold a poker face (which was my biggest doubt about myself).

I was watching when one of pit bosses (if that's what they call them I don't know, sigh) came up and told someone they had a seat open at the next table and the suddenly I heard it. "Bingoguy, Your Seat is ready in the poker room."

[Gulp]

I walked up and bought in for $200. Took my rack and then sat down at the table. The big blind had passed my spot about 2 hands before so I could post in if I wanted to but I asked to wait for the big blind. Which one player couldn't understand as he babbled on to the player beside him because the BB was "way over there" (pointing to my side of the table). I just wanted a few more hands, now that I was actually seated to take a good look at my opponents.

They only managed to deal about 4 hands before either a number of players on other tables left or a number of them busted out because suddenly 4 or even 5 players got moved from our table to the next one, The dealer then waited for them to seat more players. My strategy to watch the others kind of took a punch to the stomach. When they finally seated players I actually ended up being the big blind. Throwing in my $6 the dealer dealt the cards.

Now, I don't really remember this hand as well as you would think I should. I do remember I was dealt K-2o. I checked in and took the flop. Now I don't remember the flop which should tell you how memorable those cards were but I being this was the first hand I decided to bet out. I was met by a number of folds. One person called me and the dealer brought us to fourth street another nothing card. I bet out again on the turn and the other player folded. Woo, Who says you can't bluff at low limit tables?

The key I think was I showed no emotions. My HEART was racing but I was concentrating on making sure I was looking disinterested in what I was actually doing and just betting matter of factly. I continued to play for awhile and watch a couple of people bust out. A couple of the people went to the second table. I was probably slightly ahead of my $200 at this point but nothing to write home about. The Pit Boss then walked up to the table enquring who "Bingoguy" was. I nodded and said it was me and was told there was a seat at the next table. I took my chips and moved to the next table.

Strangely enough, I was seated at the exact same seating position as I was for the first table (that I didn't mention was the immediate left the dealer, not that it makes a difference). I took this to be a bit of a good luck charm since I hadn't been doing terrible in this position at the first table. I had played 2 or 3 hand when I was dealt J-J. I waited as number of people called and when the bet got to me I raised. Two other people called me and then the flop game. 5-J-J. Glory Halleujeah! It's JAM TIME! The first player checked, second player bet out $6 and I raised to $12. The first player folded and the second player called.. I don't remember the turn card because it really didn't matter to me. The remaining player bet out $12 and I raised to $18 and he called.. The river was dealt He bet out $12, which I raised to $18 and he re-raised to $24 and I called him. I then flipped over my cards to show my Jacks and he folded never showing me what he had. He must have had Trips 5's I think. The whole table lit up when they saw my massive hand. The dealer pushed the chips towards me and I started to stack 'em.

The majority of the players I felt I could read somewhat. I could tell you what it was I was reading but tried to make note of how player's reacted with their bodies when I was able to see their hole cards because of a showdown. I can't tell you how vital that little tibit of information is. There were 4 or 5 players, I felt were good players, who gave the stone cold look but their body language said completely different things. These were the players who were doing well against the rest of the table but I manage to win a hand or two off.

Sitting fairly nicely (probably up $75 at this point) I was once again given the notice that I was being moved to one of the main game tables. Relunctantly, I picked up my chips and moved over to my seat. I sat down and was greeted by noone. (Woo, friendly table) I made a quick glance around the table. Since I had now been either playing or watching the poker room for a few hours now I knew who'd been sitting at these tables all that time. These were the players I had to be very,very aware of. Unfortunately for me, I was about to do battle with one of the on the very first hand I got dealt.

The hand dealt to me was Q-Q. I thought, damn! Great hand to start THIS table with. I needed a show of strength. The bet raised pre-flop to $12. I called. The flop came 8-A-7. I bet out and was raised. I called. The turn came another 7. I must admit, I really wasn't thinking at this point and wtih 3 players left I matched the betting and re-raising all the way $24. The river card was a dud and I bet out $12 was re-raised and I called. The third player folded. I turned up my pair and he tossed his hand face up...A-7. WHAT AN IDIOT I am. I should have seen that from the betting but I was blinded by my Ladies. The table basically wrote me off as an idiot player at that point. I'd also DEVASTATED my chip stack. I turned to the lady beside me and said "Oh well, All I lost was other people's money and that was my worst play all night." But I was smartin' something fierce.

I couldn't find any decent cards for quite a few hands and then the guy beside me left. I told the dealer I wanted to move into his spot and slid my chips over so that I was once again sitting beside the dealer. This time on his opposite side. This also thankfully put me out of direct facial contact with the player who had crushed me with his full house. I think it helped my game a little. Although, I was still recovering from my smackdown.

I decided to tighten up a bit and I tossed away quite a few suited small cards not having the confidence to play 'em. It was then sitting in the BB I was dealt K-Jo. I called it along with about 4 other players. The flop came A-8-Q and I checked but was bet out by one player. Another called and I decided to call to see 4th street. It was a 4d to go with the Qd that was already on the board. I checked again, the next player bet and the last player folded, I was about to fold when my gut said call it. So I did. Up popped the 10d. It was the card I was looking for minus the diamond. This put a flush on the board. I checked again and he bet $12 I raised to $24 and then looked down at my chips. I suddenly got this feeling I should stare the player down so I looked up for the FIRST time all night and looked directly at the other player. I could see him studying my face. Did I have the flush? I think was what he was thinking. He called me and I announced straight. Which he responded "what?!" I don't think he saw it. He flipped over A-5o (although his 5 was a diamond) I bad beat the guy chasing a straight and BOY was he pissed at me. Although, I'm not sure if he was mad at me or his luck but he couldn't look at me for quite awhile and he shook his head for at LEAST 2 more hands until he finally won a hand.

A couple hands later I was dealth 3-5c and having won a hand I felt a little more confident staying in to see the $6 flop. The flop was ok 2-4-J and most of the table folded and I bet out $6 and was called. The Turn brought the 6 and I knew I was made and hiding fairly well. Although for effect I checked the 6 and he bet and I called. After the turn of a dud I started to bet into my opponent (who happened to be pretty friendly old guy who had sat beside me on both of the previous earlier tables.) and basically jammed the pot into a decent sized pot.

At this point I was probably holding a little $400 in chips.

Again in the BB spot I was dealt A-2h, and I re-raised pre-flop. The flop came down 5-6-Q (and I initially was going to fold thinking I didn't want to spend when I noticed the 5-6 were both hearts. I was going to have to stay to the turn at least. The 9 of hearts was dealt and I bet out $12 and couple of the players that were still in the hand said "Ah, he hit it" and folded but I was shocked when two players actually called me. Bringing me to the river card. I bet out again $12 and was called. I turned 'em over said "Sorry, guys". In these games I was hitting yet another big pot. The lady across from me even said "You're hitting some pretty big pots now." and I said "Makes up for getting crushed by that full house earlier."

I won a couple of smaller pots after that but I had cleared $500 and I decided to dwindle down what I had over $500 and then called it a night. I'd been in the casino since about 7'o clock and it was 2am now. I was getting tired and I thought this was the best time to run away. Because of the beating took playing a table game before I started playing Hold'em the $500 isn't quite as impressive. I figure I'm up about $150. Although, it's been a long time since I walked out of a casino up that much in a long time.

No one said goodnight to me when I left either. I guess in retrospect I wasn't that overly friendly a player in that I was pretty quiet and didn't chat much.

The end result is I will probably wait a bit before I ever play for money hold'em again. And when I say a bit, I mean it could be next year before I play again with my own money. It also helps that in my small town there isn't a casino to play poker in. So, these occasions are left for when I do things like visit my dad. I think it's funny, in all things gambling. I seem to be one of those beginners luck type people. My first time playing I seem to win.

On the other hand, the Red Sox beat the Yankees so miracles do happen.

Shameless Plug

2004-10-12T15:18:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd take this time to shamelessly plug the fact I'm making a return, of sorts, to online broadcasting arena.

I've decided to join a bunch of crazy people who are running The Just Rant Radio Network

It's there I'm going to be running TWO shows. Yes, TWO Shows. I'm really into being different most of the shows on the network are late night shows. I decided to be different my first show will be "The Jake Morning Show" (Ya, Bingoguy just doesn't cut it for an online name) Airing Wednesday Mornings (Yes, HUMP DAY!) from 6am - 10am PT (Which is 9am - 1pm ET)

My Second Show is more along the lines of my original station I ran on Live*365 for quite some time. I even kept the name "Radio Nite Light" and you can hear that show on Thursdays from 8pm - 10pm PT (That's 11pm - 1am ET)

Anyway, You can listen to the station by clicking on the Listen Headphones on the main page of Just Rant site or you should be able to just click HERE

Playboy Goes Digital

2004-09-09T13:38:00.000-07:00

I'm sure most of you have heard that Playboy's most recent issue has nude layouts of Video Game Chicks.

I'm a little surprised that people are shocked that this would end up in Playboy. I guess people are under the misguided idea that Playboy Magazine is strictly a Porn Mag full of naked ladies. Have we forgotten they've also featured Erotic Art over the years and to feature a layout/article regarding Video Game Chicks drawn naked really is only a nod to Erotic Art and it's use in Video Games?

Maybe I'm just some kind of perv. Although, I don't plan on buying Playboy and haven't looked at one of their mags in quite sometime (I see enough naked ladies on the net, who needs magazines) but I would probably take a gander at the artwork if a copy were to be, say, laying around.

I can appreciate Art.

You have to make very mild movements with your mouse left or right depending on which way he's swaying. I tell you this because the game is in German. Although, strangely the sound effects are in english.

W@l-M@rt loses key battle against Quebec union

2004-08-03T00:58:00.000-07:00

I wondered how long it would take before THIS happened to a W@L-M@rt.
When you run a business based solely on doing everything the cheapest including what you pay your employees. You don't often attract talented management teams and that is directly related to why employees decide to unionize. These decisions rarely have anything to do with rate of pay but more to do with working conditions brought on by management. When you have to put of with a shitty management it's then you realize you're not getting paid enough.

When will some companies learn this lesson? Probably Never.

Of course, if you were to point to the biggest anti-union company around you could probably easily say W@l-M@rt is it. They definitely won't go down without a fight. Although, this reminds me of the Squamish McDonald's that unionized. They decertified shortly after they certified and no contract was ever negotiated.

Shoot Out at the O.K. Wedding Corral

2004-07-18T23:58:00.000-07:00

I always hear about weddings where the families of the people getting married don't get along but it's sad when people pull out guns and knives.

Unfortunately, the RCMP haven't released too many details about this "Shoot At the Wedding Corral" so don't know if it was the actual family members, guests or even univited guests. It also never said who was killed. Hopefully it wasn't the Bride or the Groom. Hopefully, it won't lead the marriage to a quick divorce either. I wouldn't want to see how they'd decide to settle that.

The Mistrials of Justice

2004-07-18T23:49:00.000-07:00

With the Jury Deadlocked at 11-1 the Judge declared a mistrial in Kelly Ellard case.

I'm not sure if my American Readers have heard of this case now that the Murder of Reena Virk happened 7 years ago. Ellard is lucky that society has changed into a "What's Happening Right Now" people because an old case gets blurry and facts quite often get tainted with opinion over time. This girl may well have gotten over the fact she viciously murdered another girl (both teenagers at the time) but that doesn't, and shouldn't, change the fact. You do the crime, You do the time.

I'm sure there's many people out there that would say that the story has gotten so much press now it's almost impossible to find a completely unbiased jury. Which I think is a prime example of what happened in this particular trial. I don't know about you but at the time of the murder there wasn't a lot of non-concensus amongst the teenagers who visciously attacked Virk as to who the two people who went after her again and finished the job. It's been my experience, when I was a teenager and from what I've seen of other teenagers, that when the shit hits REALLY hits the fan it's no longer time to pussy foot around and they'll send the lamb to slaughter quicker than you can say "Kelly Ellard".

I know I'm a man and I'll get lambasted for my opinion but women (especially teenaged girls) are the most viscious creatures I have ever encountered when it comes to social interaction. It's pretty much common sense knowledge with men to stay out of any type of disagreement between two women. Add to the the hormonal imbalance of a teenage girl filled with a volcanic rage for whatever reasons and you have the recipe for a dark night underneath a bridge where one teenage girl takes the life of another. The fact that she'll now have to be tried for a third time (and I really do hope that we as taxpayers here in BC take the time to spend the money to convict this danger to society) even though so much time has passed bring a shadow of doubt to my mind that justice will be served for a teenage girl who had her life cut short.

My hope for society wanes on a daily basis.
