Some odds and ends before the weekend.

odds...

1. Homeless woman lives in man's closet, cellphones take pictures of cellphone thieves, and how technology is protecting you...

They are so many ways you can adapt a cellphone or an iPod or any small electric device these days it's no surprise Harrahs prohibits their use at a Poker table. I enjoy listening to music when I play but... there really is no place for these do it all devices at a table.

2. Tywon Lawson at UNC got pulled over for drinking while driving. Turns out he didn't even blow the legal limit .08 (in North Carolina). Problem is he's a minor and any alchohol on the breathlyzer leads to an arrest. You want to bet if he wasn't exploring the NBA draft, the good policemen in Chapel Hill send him on his way with pat on the back.

3. People are creatures of habit. In the no-kidding, heavy sarcasm department, researchers spent a lot of money discovering that people drive the same route at the same time on most days. Yes, I think it's called a commute.

Ends
1. Won a satellite for the MSOP of poker on Fulltilt. I think the Full Tilt Points satellites are the easiest games in existence. It was 4 handed after about 10 minutes and not a turbo. Sunday, I'll be playing in the Battle of the Bloggers and whatever that low-buy in event is I'm freerolling into.
2. Got in touch with Monkey. Thank you random reader at the Beau that gave him our message. We should have an update and some thoughts from him soon. Currently he and some Coast players are renting a house in Vegas. Hopefully his hot run is continuing.

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
