past week and other ramblings...

it has been a very unpoker like week. guess that is due to vacation. haven't played online since tuesday night donkfest league. took 2nd in that. my buddy from MD came up and stayed with me since tuesday night. we played the new MLB '09. WOW! talk about realistic. we pretty much played that for like 4 days straight. that and the occassional game of MADDEN. and drank lots o' BUUUUUUUR, and girly drinks for him.

we did happen to find time to make it out to play a live 3/6 H.O.R.S.E. game and 3/6H.O. that was cool since i haven't played a "live cash" game since ooooo. October!! probly the longest strech since i started playing poker. i was on fire in the HORSE up over $200 playing 6 handed. then that table broke and we played H.O. 10 handed. lost a good chunk i was as flop dead as you could get. still left up $65. and had a blast playing poker with my old poker spouse. (Greg) :)

i still have off till the 17th. i plan on finally watching all those episodes of 24 from this season that i havent seen yet still. going to see THE WATCHMEN Friday with my jeff and josh. that should be totally comic book geekiness/drunkeness.

i would like to grind online at some point this week. i am sooo close to clearing that $150 STARS bonus. i would like to try and keep my silver star status. doubt it will happen though. don't feel like it all right now. and i said one of my goals was to play +EV hours. which means playing when my head is really into it.

looking forward to going totall MLB '09 geek. i reallized how out of touch i am with MLB nowadays. i used to be a total baseball nerd. then i got married and had our daughter and it became all football. baseball just sort of fadded out of my life. but with this game and a fantasy baseball draft waiting in the wings i really would like to back into it. whats funny is during the "steriod"era i lost intrest. i loved the 2b that would hit .250 hit 10HR and field like a god on turf. i loved the closer that would get K's like they were going out of style. my favs back in my day were Mitch Williams, Rob Dibble and the nasty boys Calvin Schiraldi. i loved my red sox form the late 80's. baseball was just so pure and awesome back then.

i remember playing purse the pennant with Ruben. we would spend hours playing that game. talk about 2 baseball nerds. while other high schoolers were going out meeting chicks, drinking & doing what "normal" kids would do we would play that game at his kitchen table ALL WEEKEND LONG. wouldn't trade those days away for anything.

wow is this getting long. lol

lastly i joined facebook this past week. so my 3 readers now have company as i probly picked up a 4th reader. and for all of you that haven't heard or seen me since high school,military,maryland or whatever else.

hey.

yup i am a poker geek.
