So Much to Say...



Actually not really... Lots of random thoughts.

Today's picture isn't quite Ivanka Trump, but it's still worth a long look. Instead of a carefully coifed billionairess it's a cosmic hand.

See it reaching for the light. It's real, no some movie special effect. It's just this big hand in space reaching through the heavens. Maybe it's God containing an outburst of hell. Maybe it's the invisible hand at work on our economy (bettet get busy). Maybe it's Odin scooping a pot from the trickster Loki. Who knows. It happened 17,000 years ago and the light is only just now getting here for us to see it.

Speaking of pretty pictures the Honest Player and the Southpaw Rounder have gotten us a couple of logos. I like what we see so far. I dare say we might just have some gear to hand out when poker comes home to the New Orleans Circuit Event. This day is long in coming.

Maybe I should have bullet pointed this randomness.

Watched High-Stakes Poker it was good. There is a write up of a hand where Phil Laak schools Sam Simon badly. Read it Here.

Watched Celebrity Apprentice... wrote about it below.

Wicked Chops makes an interesting connection. A. Dikshit pays off the U.S. Government. PartyGaming pays off the U.S. government. WSOP/Harrahs hires a former PartyGaming CEO to oversee their website. As they said.... Hmmmmmm...

The SCOOP concluded. PokerKing has a good write up here.

Did my taxes. Don't need an extension. I'm in the minority. Sent if off certified mail. Read a tale about a couple that sent it certified mail to the IRS instead of their accountant and regreted it. Don't have the link.

Wonder where NioNio went to? You know the infamous superuser. Who was that guy anyway. Has he shown up in a polish zoo?

Haven't talked too much about poker have I. Hmmm... my bad. Tomorrow I'm going to the casino. I will not be playing blackjack. I will be playing the weekly poker tournament. I have played some online recently that's online poker not online blackjack. I have yet to play online blackjack, but when I do play blackjack online, I will do it here. That wasn't really about poker at all was it? Just some random verbiage about online blackjack. The invisible cosmic hand at work again... trying to scoop a pot.

Crapped on the Head and Kicked in the teeth part 2

Image
I walk to the car, try to metaphorically wipe the bird crap off my shoulders and contemplate how my bankroll got severely lightened on the day. I recall the fun hands where I got hurt, such as the one when I raised preflop and got a few callers. Flop was 882. I fire out an almost pot size bet and I get a caller. Turn is another 2. I make the same bet and get a call. River is 6 or so. I check, he checks. I show 99. Dealer is about to hand me the pot as he shows 7-2. He points to the deuce for her benefit and the turned full house. At first I think he's doing it for me rubbing it in a bit. My frustration is evident and I fire him a look, then I realize who is dealing, and see that she still almost swept me the pot. She of the 8 deals per 30 minutes and two mistakes per down. You know who she is. The dealer you are suprised to see every time you play there thinking she'd be fired. Still, I wanted to be angry at the dude as even though he wasn't showing me up he was destroying ...

Ecletic Musings - Random Bits

Neuroeconomics - What? I'm always interested in why people make decisions. How many times have you seen an opponent who otherwise seems completely rational act entirely irrational. Apparently, this is a human trait and it confounds economists. For a while there was a thought that certain animals would make better investors and game players than humans. Well, the decisions of poker players or guys who make online sports betting decisions can be equally as irrational. So basically, the neurologists and economists got together and started comparing notes on what happens in a huge system (on a macro level) and inside one person's head (probably as micro as you can get). Here's a cursory overview . Definitely a topic I'm going to read a little more into when I get time. TED Talks - while I'm trying to appear brainy, I'm in love with TED talks. For the last year I've downloaded their talks onto my iPod and watch them before going to sleep most nights. If you hav...
