Sorry, completely forgot about this blog as I've been traveling about. Will get more updates, especially with some nice tournament scores and other interesting tales from the felt up here soon. Thought, I'd include an image of the truly tastless Katrina liquor that some sleazebag in town came up with last year.

Just when I'd think somebody was right to call her, when she couldn't possibly have the nuts again, she would. I had a read on her, it shockingly told me she had a good hand almost every time (I is smart). This girl had a look that was perfect for the felt but not for life. In fact, she looked like the flops had literally been hitting her in the face all night. One of her eyes was cross-eyed the other normal. I'd be tempted to call it a lazy eye, but most lazy eyes I'm familar with drift away from the nose. Maybe it is a lazy eye and I just haven't been exposed to enough.
