Harrahs New Orleans and othe bullet point items.

*Delighted to hear the big numbers that lined up to play today. That's always encouraging. I'll be in and out throughout the week. I'm anxious to get back to the felt. The last time I played I got called by a lady in the big blind, when I shoved on the button after two limpers entered the action. She took forever and then immediately turned over her raggish hand... with two others yet to act. The first guy folded and the next guy who took in her hand was priced in. He hit a Jack and I hit the bricks. Likely if she knows those guys are still in the hand she folds and good chance the others fold too. I put that in my bad beat folder. I really only consider happenstance outside of the cards as bad beats. The cards are predetermined so if runner-runner is coming it's coming.

*Have my parents visiting and find out the sex of my second child this week (with a party) so I will be busy. Making it harder to get back and forth to uncle H. We've opted to ask the attendent doing the scan to put the sex of the child in an envelope. Then we will give it to my sister-in-law who will bake one of two cakes. One with blue inside and the other with pink. I'll be happy with either, but I think my son wants a brother and I got a feeling there is another boy coming, and I'll have blue teeth on Saturday.

*Saw Thor this weekend. Really felt like a mismash of two movies. On one hand it was grand in scale and spectacle on the other it felt like a dated 60s sci-fi movie with a small desert set. There is this giant Norse Gods as Aliens battling Frost Giants as Aliens on blue-screen (green-screen) that consists of a stark otherworldly battle and monumental floating architecture. Then, the story-line in New Mexico that felt small. I'd recommend watching it in 2d as the decision to make the movie 3d was made after it was shot. Not much there for the extra monies. The Thor actor is a break out star in all liklihood, and I have to admit I'm kind of looking forward to the Avengers movie which will unite Thor, the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America (though not really looking forward to that film), and some other side characters. Could be the biggest movie ever.

*Alright those are my thoughts for the day...

Crapped on the Head and Kicked in the teeth part 2

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
