Poker resurrection

"Evening Light", taken by Evy Johansen. Verrrnice.



Doing better in poker, haven't lost in live games, always double up or get the money back so that's a good change....now a couple of big wins would round this current run of form off nicely. Managed to resurrect my online adventures also - won a VIP/Freeroll on Betdaq which added €8 to my account, so just playing small SNG's for now to build dat ass back up. No topping up my account though, for fear of not getting a mortgage in the current economic climate...

Some online fun:

Talk to a stranger. Hours of fun, and some hilarious conversations to be had. Here's a funny conversation from earlier - I am "you" and ? is "stranger":

Connecting to server...
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Stranger: hei
You: o hai
Stranger: asl?
You: Any vacuum cleaner can organize a rude cloud formation, but it takes a real tornado to bury the pompous polar bear.
You: asl?
Stranger: :'D
Stranger: i asked first
You: lol
You: Now and then, an almost tattered movie theater pours freezing cold water on a satellite beyond some vacuum cleaner.
Stranger: wtf
Stranger: :'D
You: roflcoptor
You: The ROFLCOPTOR is an important part of the defense of LOLrville. Along with the LMAOplane, TTYLnukes, and our troops carrying AFK47s, the ROFLCOPTER is used as a mobile troop carrier, and anti-TTYLTank weapons platform.
Stranger: muro
You: Sometimes a turkey trembles, but a cowboy over a hockey player always pours freezing cold water on a surly hole puncher!
You: asl?
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

Insomnia to tha max

After an annoying 3rd place in last night's game (ok, at least I didn't lose anything) the insomnia struck like never before. Not 1 minute's sleep. I'd like to say nightmare, but for a nightmare sleep is required. Got around 30 mins sleep at the desk this morning and that's it. Gotta go out later but the lack of sleep might scupper that....time will tell. Back to the poker.... Playing decent all night, massive lead running into the last 3 places. Within a few hands my stack was depleted and used my approx. €40 to go all-in on AJ suited. I ran into Darragh's AK and you can imagine the rest. Dammit anyway, playing pretty good recently, won on Sunday and didn't really lose last night, but was so far ahead I was sure the victory was mine.

Found this gem earlier as I searched youtube for a few laughs to keep me awake...

The Future of GNR????

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. DJ Ashba.



Here's a pre-Slash / original GNR line-up (pre Slash!!) flyer I stumbled upon:

a welcome change....

Ohai!!! The Lolcatz!!! - They never fail to bring a smile to my face.



The big(ish) game on Monday was unsuccessful. Just didn't get the cards, and when I did, I may as well never had. After a very tiring weekend I was running on fumes all day (and night) Monday. Soon after my exit from the game I retired to my room for some much needed sleep. A drunken Colly went on to beat Folk Hero in the main event, with Folk Hero dancing the victory dance in the HellKat that followed.

Had to work Paddy's Day which sucked, but it gives me a day to take whenever, so that's all good. The weather is seriously picking up over here and it is much better to enjoy some sunshine instead of the cold and the rain that seemed to be a permanent fixture since the "summer" of 2008.

Business as usual on the poker scene tonight, so once again the fingers are crossed.

This made me laugh also. It must be said that the article launched massive waves of anger throughout the GNR forums I visit, but I guess that's the hardcore "fans" for ya......

....the ice has melted, and gone with it - the maiden.

only a matter of time!!
