It's getting worse

The past week was not a good week and this week isn't any better. I am losing my rear end playing good hands and getting skunked by crappy ones. That's the way the game goes, I guess. Any hand can be beaten at any time no matter if it's pocket Aces or a pair of twos LOL
But, on the bright side I did find another website to play poker on called NoPay Poker. They actually pay their players cash winnings! I mean that you can earn money every time you are playing not just special cash tournaments. So, I've been spending more time there than over on NLOP as I want to make money. I enjoy playing the game but I can always use more money :)

Let's Smoke

I have been smoking for fifty years. yes, I know they are supposed to have killed me by now but I refuse to die because of them. I enjoy my cigarettes but I also enjoy a good cigar now and then. And now I have found a place to get some truly good cigars online.
If you enjoy a fine cigar now and then this could be the place for you too. Let's face it, there's not a lot of places left where one can actually smoke anything, cigars or otherwise, there is always home. As far as I know the laws haven't forbidden smoking at your own home.
Whether your taste in cigars is Cuban or American, this site has a wide choice of cigars to choose from. And the prices are not going to break your wallet or purse, that's important too.
So, browse through the place, pick some cigars and wait for them to be delivered right to your door. Then kick back in your favorite chair, light up and enjoy.

Happy Birthday

It's my birthday. I turned 59 today, no big deal really. The only good part of turning 59 is that I now only have six months before I can see if there is anything left in my tax sheltered annuities since the stock market is in the toilet. I hope there is still a few dollars left LOL

A Great Time To Buy And Sell

With the end of summer and Winter fast approaching, this might just be the best time to think about selling your RV. I know that this is probably the best time to find that perfect ad stating used rv for sale.
Buying things in an "off season" market is the way to save a lot of money. Selling your RV now is a great way to catch those buyers that truly want your RV so it is a win-win situation for everyone.
Now you might be thinking that the RV is just going to be sitting around all winter doing nothing but that doesn't necessarily have to be true. Having the whole Winter season gives you the opportunity to get to know your RV and certainly there will be days when the sun is out and it's a nice day to take a drive so why not take the RV out for a spin and get used to driving it? Come Spring and Summer you'll be an expert RV driver.
If you'd rather have a brand new RV the site I posted has those for sale as well. Some folks just do not like to buy high ticket items that are used, they like them brand new. Nothing wrong with that if you have the money. What good is money anyway if you aren't going to spend it on something you truly want? You work hard for every dollar you should really get some enjoyment out of all that hard work and an RV is a great thing to buy and enjoy.

The Week That Was

And I wish it was the week that was not. Flashes of brilliance were almost non existent. Some hands I thought I played well but then I lost . I was feeling rather down by Sunday but vowed to do my best in the weekly championship tourney and I did try hard. I finished 355 out of 1491 players, which isn't that bad. Still I couldn't help but look back at the week and feel a little sorry for myself. I finished the week with 27435 points which is the worst points amount ever in a week.
But, just when I was feeling bad, I read this:
Crushed Bellagio game last night and followed that up with my biggest online loss ever. Felt like I was on HSP yay!

The above comes from the Twitter of Daniel Negreanu, a professional poker player. You can follow his ramblings here http://twitter.com/RealKidPoker/

I have to admit that I felt a little better after reading that Tweet :)

Friday I turn 59. Yay for me :)

This should be me playing poker

Monday November 9,2009

Played the weekly championship tourney yesterday. Was sailing along pretty well for a while but then had a streak of bad luck, bad cards and just misplayed some hands. But, it isn't all bad news. We started with 1364 players and I finished 108th. I made it past a lot of players! I also lasted for roughly an hour and a half so I can take some pride in myself for that.
On a different poker site where normally I am humbled by getting beaten soundly by much better players I entered a qualifying tourney just for the heck of it. $500 Weekly Qualifier. I finished in 92nd place with a starting field of 589 players. Not too shabby :)
I try to look for the positives of my game instead of dwelling on the negatives. Everybody has bad days at poker, even those who play it for a living.

I'm not this bad. Yet LOL

"Mom and I saw a great movie last night...No, don't remember the name. It was about a guy or, no, wait.. fuck, getting old sucks."

This comes from shitmydadsays. I read this guy every day because, like his dad, I'm an old fart. And I find it funny :)

I've Been NLOPed!

While playing a multi-table game on NLOP I was almost finished playing a hand in which I had bet a considerable amount of chips. I was waiting for one more player to call me so that I would win the hand when suddenly, without a warning I was moved to a new table. WTF?? I blinked, looked at my chip count and nope, I had lost all the chips I had bet, did not win the hand (because i wasn't there to end it) and got myself royally screwed without Vaseline LOL
I posted my rant on the NLOP forum and also turned in a "complaint" to the powers that be. Hopefully they will fix this bug so that it doesn't happen in the future to anyone.
Another player on NLOP answered the discussion and also made me this picture. Thanks a lot, Thom ( DIECASTER ). I now have been officially NLOPed LMAO

What A (Crummy) Week

All was going well until Thursday night. I was playing as well as ever the first few days of the week. Then Thursday came along. In the space of two hours I lost 6000 points! I was playing hands that made sense and getting killed by hands that made no sense at all. I'm betting on say Kings and Queens and getting whipped by some idiot with a 3 and and 8. WTF??
The week ended on a much brighter note though when I won the point tourney that gets me an entry into the Weekly Championship tourney on Sundays. It was a smaller crowd, less than thirty players. I was, at one point, down to a few hundred chips but I persevered and won it all :)
I ended up the week with a bankroll of only 33932 points. Hopefully this week will be better :)
