Damn!

Friday I decided to skip Power Poker for awhile and play some AP, .10/.20 NL. Ah, that’s the low limit table I am used to. Family pots, min raises, chasers, weak aces and calling stations. And suckouts of course, lots of suckouts. Took me a while to get used to after those tight ass tables at Power. Oooops, made a mistake, I was playing PL not NL. Oh well, most of the stacks were small enough that the pots made it all ins after the flop possible. Didn’t do as well as I do on Power as I lost a buy in or two due to early suck outs but came back and added a few bucks to the bankroll. Yea, I know, Cerus network, crap sites, security issues, etc., etc. Hey, it’s winnings, I play low limits and anyone who wants to take the time to hack the few bucks at a time I put out there needs the money a whole lot more than I do. With those kinds of skills he’d make a better living at an honest job.

OK, Sat game at the Manor called off. Damn. Remember a time when there was a waiting list to get in to this game. Guess the erratic schedule over the last year or so has sent folks looking elsewhere not to mention there probably is a bunch of donkey games out there. Not to say there weren’t donkeys in the game, after all you need someone to contribute, but there were usually some really good players in there. Even Riggs showed occasionally. As a new guy I think I was granted the donkey exemption when I got my first invite. Was really looking forward to this game too as I haven’t played a live game recently and also it’s been awhile since I’ve seen some of the players that were on the invite list. Not to mention I would have gotten some blog fodder out of it. That can be a risky proposition however since I don’t know how many, if any of those guys read this. Not that I’m worried about giving away my game, hell, I’m transparent as glass as it is but some of the others have holes in their game big enough to drive a concrete mixer through. Since no one sits down at these games thinking they got the ATM pass I would hate to be the one enlightening them by describing their game if the should by some chance come across this. Trying again for next Sat. Hope so.

I’m not making AC for a few weeks when an overnight trip is planned for Dad’s birthday. My brother and I ran across a pretty cool seafood place on the outskirts located right on the bay with good food at reasonable prices. Brother asked me if I could swing dinner if he gets the room, not a casino deal. Told him yea but how come I get stuck for dinner and he gives me the old, the room is more expensive bit. What am I, a dummy? I know he still has points from when he used to go visit his son in college. He’s getting a reduced rate if not a freebie. Have to check for the exact days we’re heading down. I’d like to get some poker in while down there but if it’s a weekend I may try to get my daughter down for the trip. If I do however it will kill any poker possibilities even though my parents would probably watch her for a few hours. Have to how it goes. May be a moot question anyway if the trip is midweek as my daughter will still be in school. Damn school where she is goes runs until late June before they let out for summer. Of course if I can do Vegas this June it might be a blessing in disguise.

Thanks for the listen.
