Played a little poker tonight, bought it for $13 just for the hell of it, walked out with $47.80 after going all in with my QJ after making three jacks on the turn.

And the final results are up over at pokergrub.com from sundays tourney. Missed cashing by 3.

Oh well, I played a hand I shouldn't have. I had 2400 in chips 7th in chips, (I think) and got dealt 22. with 9 people left. Blinds were 400/800 and it was no limit. There was a raise to 1600 and I figured I had a decent starting hand and if I could double up here I would easily cash and be in the top 3 for chips.

I went all in and he called. I showed 22, he had AJ, a jack flopped and I was on in 9th, A pair vs 2 overcards wins 52/100 times, so I had the better odds, but luck had it in for me. Oh well, I'm hearing the next stop on the World Blogger Poker Tour is March 10, dont know where or when though.

Thanks to ChoicePoker.com for hosting the tourney and only taking $64 rake on a $640 prize pool.

Someone put a bounty on one guy and I won some DVD's for knocking him out with my AQ or AJ, cant really remember. He was on the blind halfway all in with 62o (ouch)

So poker continues to go well, oh if you like Poker / crazy stories/ las vegas or just general crazyness and rock,paper,sissors, or the circle game (dont look at the circle below the wait or get punched)

Then you gotta check out www.tiltboys.com and read the stories, it's a group of guys that knew each other from school, had a weekly poker game, go to vegas all the time, bet on everything possible, and are now mega rich and goto vegas all the time.

here's an excellent sample:

"Betting We will find any, and I do mean any, excuse to bet with each other. Often these bets turn out to be great angles, conceived to put the bettee on some serious tilt. But regardless, the endless small bets we make help us keep our gambling bugs well fed. One favorite is Roshambo (rock, scissors, paper) -- a supposedly random game, but one in which several of these gamblers claim to have an edge due to their ability to read people and take the psychological upper hand. An example from a recent bet:

Rafe: I'm going rock. Victim: Okay, then I'm going paper. Rafe: But you know that I wouldn't tell you the truth. Victim: You might if you think I won't believe you. Rafe: But I know you will compensate for that. Victim: Just go! (exasperated at Rafe's continued scrutiny for tells) Rafe: 1-2-3-(went rock) Victim: (went scissors) Rafe: (pocketing bet) You over-compensated."


The whole site is like that, very very excellent.

Be sure to check it out.

In other news, I got my CD price fixing check today $13.86 hell yeah, that's like 7 gallons of gas, 1 3/4 drinks out this weekend, or 180 hands of No limit poker with .25/50 blinds.

Can you guess where it's probably going?

What can I say, I love winning poker (not playing poker).

Just remember, if when you sit down at the poker table you cant spot the sucker in the first half hour, then you are the sucker.

SPRING BREAK VEGAS TRIP COUNTDOWN 12 DAYS AND COUNTING.
