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.

It can happen to you!
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?
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.

English Genius
Although I only score 12 out of twenty on the Smiles Test.
I did very well on the The Common Confused Words Test
English Genius
You scored 93% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 77% Expert!
You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!
This coming from a guy who slept through most english classes during high school.

What Will They Think of Next?
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
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!

Template Change
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.
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.

Do The Bingo Shuffle...
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.

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. |

Return to the Tables
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.

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?
