"Crazy Tables"

Lately I have been content grinding things out at the .05/.10 tables at Paradise Poker. I got as low as $4, but now I am back to the $25 mark. Tonight I was at an interesting table. Some people thrive on this type of table, but this type of table gets to my nerves. The type of table I am referring to is one where the bet gets capped early and often. Fortunately for me I filled a boat and a flush on the river to take down two large pots. When tables get like this one I usually get up and leave, but tonight I decided to hang in there. I got back to back pocket Ks. What are the odds of that? Sure the algorithm is completely random (wink wink)! The first hand I lost on the river to a flush. The next hand was a big one where a K came on the flop. The board had flush and straight potential so I was nervous. On the river the board paired giving me a boat. The only thing that could have taken me was pocket aces. I took down a large pot. I learned that the only way to play a "crazy" table is if you have the nuts or a shot at the nuts.

I believe I will take my third shot at $.50/1.00 Omaha H/L on Paradise Poker. I am hoping to bust outof my slump and increase my profits. Perhaps I should stick with Holdem, but I feel like I can make more money playing omaha h/l.

I am a bit amazed that Party Poker has not sent me the please come back e-mail. I am going to be patient, because I could sure use the bonus to my advantage. I was also thinking about trying Superior pokers freerolls. There was another site offering freerolls, which I believe I saw on pokerworks.com. I forgot the name.

Finally I must rant again. The legislature of Texas all need to be fired. They are in a special session and the majority have decided to do nothing and permit the session clock to run out. If you did that on your job you would be fired.

First slot machines are in the school financing plan then they are out. Then they are back in. Get off your butts and revisit a constitutional ammendment to legalize all gambling in Texas. Place a casino in the Astrodome, one in Dallas, and several on the coast Kemah and South Padre. Billions of dollars leave Texas for other states. Lets keep that money in our state and provide the children with the best education possible. I could play in a tournament or ring game in Austin Texas 7 days per week. At a minimum permit poker rooms! The WPT needs a stop in Texas!

One final note to all Sales persons out there. My hat is off to you! Sales is one tough job. I recently started doing some inside sales and I think it would be easier to climb Mt. Everest.

Play on!
