"Happenings"

I should be asleep, but I thought I should do a quick post.

Last Friday or Saturday night I entered a $5 tournament on CNR. There were 459 players. I did very well, but ended up finishing in 7th place for a $65 pay out. I have been grinding at CNR and I have tripled my bankroll.

I also have been playing at poker time. I played PL Omaha H/L and tripled up on two hands.

I just watched the Astros win in 15 innings. I just wish St. Louis had lost.

I went to the Longhorn game on Saturday. Great seats on the East side near the 15 yard line. Not much of a game, but the lightening was cool. We decided to escape just before the end of the third quarter. I learned several important lessons at this game. Always take more cash than you expect. You can drink at the Texas Exes during half time. If you see them take Bevo off the field it is time for you to consider getting the heck out of Dodge too.

Sunday the U7 Sharks had a soccer game. We were undefeated until this game. I am solely responsible for our 2-1 loss. The boys really hustled and fought back. I did not take control of the game. The other coach was yelling very loudly at the referee. He was arguing that the referee had to blow the whistle to start play. I kept softly saying that is not true. At one point he had totally distracted the referee and we scored a goal. I did not think it was fair that we scored with the referee no paying attention, so I waved off the goal. I thought we would score more, but the other team had a tough defense. After haftime I tried to straighten out the other coach. I should have calmly taken charge early in the game and set the other coach straight. We teach our boys to be quick on kick ins and goal kicks. Regardless the Sharks are a great bunch of boys and hopefully I will do a better job as a coach controlling the referee and other coach. My son took the loss pretty hard, so hopefully there was a lesson learned there somewhere. I can not wait until our game on Saturday. The only negative is our daughter's game is at the exact same time.

Our daughters team U10 REC got screwed. When the schedule came out we were excited because we were going to compete against Academy teams. Well apparently the Academy teams did not like playing Rec teams and they now put us playing U9 teams. Girls are still learning, but it will get old winning 7-0 every time.

Soccer is my life right now!

I still grind away at the poker tables nightly. I am bummed because everytime the Austin bloggers play poker my wife has a dinner club event. Someday I will get to join that fun bunch again.

I am looking forward to November 4. I get to take our son to the Longhorn -vs OSU game. Hopefully he will have a great time and the Horns will still only have one loss. Oh yeah! I found out to late, but there is a Taco Bell in the stadium, so you can get some cheap munchy food!

I am playing in a NL Omaha H/L tournament and this dude goes all-in every hand. I busted him a couple of times, but it is ridiculous.

Oh well! I busted his ass and won $10!

play on!
