The credit crunch hits everything

I won the impromptu "Folk Hero Invitational" last Friday. I lost the bottle in Sunday's game though. Had a good feeling about the K 10 I was dealt, but with two players already all-in before me, I feared the arrival of an ace would seal my fate. It turned out I folded what would have been a full house, crushing all others. Finished 3rd so didn't lose anything but still annoyance over not going with my gut feeling about the K10. A shocking exit all the same, I'm BB and dealt 10c 5c. Flop drops 3 clubs. Suggo raises, I go all in. Darragh legs it, Suggo calls. King high flush on the flop for Suggo and I'm packin my bags. Another game tonight, another chance to dance.

2 Liverpool fans have a laugh, lovely lads.

after all this time....

I win the Wednesday game....I'm speechless. Rumours of a game tomorrow night, so let's hope this current run of luck continues.

1000+ Hits and running.....

Not a lot to report, swerved my peril on Friday the 13th and had a non-stop valentine's weekend. Poker continues to suck though. If any positive can be taken from the nightmare, I guess it can be found in the fact that I am tightening up my game again, not winning a cent but at least I'm only losing €10 each game. I am happy in the fact that I am playing a good game (IMO) and when I get destroyed it's only down to luck, bad luck. Plans are afoot for some music making in the not too distant future. Nothing set in stone, but hopefully we'll get as many as we can into a studio and hopefully the magic will happen, as they say.

GTA: I can't win that damned race, then when I go to one of my other homies he brings me on a mission where I get slaughtered by around 1,000,000 drug dealers. It could be bazooka time....

NIN and Jane's Addiction touring together (NINJA tour...lol :)) ....now that'd be one I'd kill to see.


1000+ visitors to the blog, great stuff. I'll throw up a map of visitors which shows where some visitors live.

I guess it could mean any of these....

confusedish

hot, cold, hot, cold. I'll never know....

Poker's dropped me well over €100 since payday. Not good, and there doesn't look like there's any light at the end of this tunnel. Doing well in GTA though, now I gotta follow that biker and destroy him.

And now, some humour:

Chub Club form a band:

The way it was, and the way it will be

I think these pics are a fitting image considering the title of the post.....afterall, babies never lie!

Friday was a disaster, a €70 disaster. The cauldron was comprised of the following ingredients which all played their part in making the night a complete waste of time:
The bottle of Moet I sank before playing poker.
The annoying Ghostbusters receptionist (ya know the type) dealer who took an instant disliking to yours truly (and in turn vice-versa, see ya next Tuesday love).
The beadey-eyed skanger who played me at my own game and won (I b.s.'ed that I only go all in on AA or 72/0. The BES went all in and I folded fearing a two pair beating - I had top pair. When I folded, the BES dropped the 72/o and cackled. Moron.)
On a seperate note, I will cease impromtu practicing of my black metal vocals, as they can be grossly misinterpreted as something else entirely. Nuff said.

Saturday, woke up at 12.30 tried to get out of bed. No go. Lights out. 18:30: Take 2. A good night was had on Saturday, rocking the neighborhood of Phibsboro of all places.

Sunday, another case of €20 up in smoke thanks to poker. That's €90 I'm down so far this month - month beginning from my pay day. I really better win something quickly or give this shit up for once and for all.

Lost returned last week and after watching the double ep to kick off Season 5 I am now taking my hands off the handlebars and letting this baby drive itself. I have no idea where this show is going, I only hope it does. It was 2 hours of complete confusion watching those eps. Not bad, not good, just completely mystifying.

Another great ppv from Affliction. Far superior to the last (and many) UFC ppv (snorefest), but this Saturday's UFC ppv will be a different story. GSP-FTW

Orton wins the Royal Rumble, one of two WWE ppv's I watch a year, and the whole thing just seems jaded by now. Good to see RVD back, but knowing WWE, that'll prolly be the last we see of him until Rumble 2010.

Tonight's the night.....

Coming soon....
