"Ramblings"

Well I am not sure what I want to ramble about this morning. I was going to blog about unusual band names, but I left my notes in the study. Yep! I am too damn lazy to walk to the study. I will say that I found a great poker lyric by my favorite band, the Rolling Stones. You have to agree with this lyric when it comes to playing NL Holdem - "What's puzzling you is the nature of my game!"

I am still alive at CNR. I was chasing my second $25 bonus and I got all the way down to $14 when I finally earned 400 check points. I am pleased to state that I am now hoverin around $90. I finally had AA hold up for big win yesterday. I find myself enjoying the $.05/.10 NL Holdem table. No body plays Omaha at this site anymore. In fact most of the dedicated folks from TNT seem to have vanished. Back to AA. I was on the BB when I caught AA. Everyone limped in to me. I raised it $.50. Someone reraised me $1 and a third caller. I popped back with my entire stack of $5.35. Two callers and my AA held up. I did get smacked twice today with QQ and KK. The QQ got busted by pocket aces. I knew she had it, but I had to play it. Later I got KK and CrzYLady once again smacked me. I do not recall with what.

I have been invited to play in a 5 card draw tournament. Unfortunately that is not one of my strongest games. I will have to consult with my Dad. I remember as a very young kid sitting on my Dad's lap while he played poker with his cousins. My grandfather also played. When my Dad and his Dad got heads up the sparks would fly. :0) They mainly played 5 card draw. I think I am going to play in the tournament for the experience. Last time I played RAZZ and that was a hoot.

Lets see what are some things in the news that have raised my blood pressure. Texas government requesting another $40 million to pay county jails to house prisoners and requesting we build 5 more prisoners. Tents and change gangs would be a good start. They do not need luxury suites. Release those that do not belong and place some under house arrest with GPS tracking devices. So if I want to buy a keg of beer in Texas I am going to have to register with the state. What kind of crap is that? The 6 minute rule if your car breaks down in Houston. I am not sure I could change a tire in 6 minutes.

Just won $5 with a BB special. I had 49 off suite in the BB. Flop came 49T. Bet the amx until I was all-in with 4 callers. Bring home the bacon. I am about even for the evening and I have earned a few check points.

Well I am going to save this ramble and call it a night.

Play on!
