Battle of the Bloggers

So, while this blog is pretty much dead, and my poker playing schedule is rather few and far between,  I am very pleased to report that I will be making a good effort to play in this year's Battle of the Blogger Tournaments.

Thanks to AlCantHang for all his work on this, and to Full Tilt for providing the crazy overlay that makes me even want to post about it.

You too, can play - Mondays and Fridays, there are open events with the winner playing in the Big Battle.  Check out The Details!

I'm currently playing...

I'm currently playing a Dollar Token Frenzy on FTP, but that's not the true question. The true question is: do I doble or do I not doble, or there is the $216 HORSE tonight as it's Sunday. Since I don't have to work in the morning, these are the things I ponder. listen

Sweet Baby Ricky Bobby!

April relates one of the more amusing Vegas moments... This story still cracks me up reading it.

I'm saving up all my April Fast Passes, and you can't have 'em.

a post that is not twitter

I feel like I should write SOMETHING about all the things that are going on in my life at this point.  The trip to Vegas, the possibility of relocating back to Chicago, and the general work malaise that I am under at the moment.  However, I am currently under the weather with the Vegas crud (at least I'm not in the hospital like Scooter!), and that seems to have wiped out any desire or motivation for me to post anything.

There is also the fact that it is, as usual, was so jam-packed with Sun and excitement in gambling that.  It seems like to write a post that everything would be equivalent to attempting to eat an elephant in one sitting, and it as that may that you should do this one bite at a time, the task itself is pretty overwhelming.

But, the really good news for me is that I should be getting the best Christmas present ever on Monday, and hopefully by next month I will be a city girl!

p.s. - thanks to Falstaff for putting on a fantastic show!

Post Vegas

... I got dealt a hand of the VegasFlu, and a whole load of work sucks, so I may never post a trip report (like that surprises the three people who still read this blog here), especially since I'm hoping to hear that I'm going to be relocating (again) in the next month or so.

Although I will just say, as I said to Marty while playing PaiGow: Vegas just isn't the same without Chilly, and he was missed.

Also, while craps with the bloggers is mucho fun, it just isn't the same as craps with the CrapsMaster.  Gus, you gimpy, you were missed too, although dial-a-craps was fun, even if my hops never came in...

Keep your fingers crossed.

On the theory that I still play poker...

I'm not dead

... but I honestly don't really have the passion for poker that I used to, which was a topic of conversation I had with Maudie and others this weekend. It's hard to write on things that don't make your heart go thumpa-thumpa for anymore.

But, speaking of this weekend, I had a fun trip down there this weekend - Saturday I played poker at the Borgata with Maudie and the Train, and Dawn and Alceste were there as well.   The 10/20 game is as crazy bananas as Train has previously stated - I didn't believe him, and I was proven wrong, although my money went the way of the crazy slides.  Ah well.  

(and the 10/20 game is really that crazy - we had several guys who would call multiple raises with any two s00ted!)

Sunday, the desire for -EV games was too strong, and I made the 10/20 money back and more at craps, blackjack, and uber insane $25 craps.  Aie-yaa!  I now officially know that Gus is nutters, as he plays $50 craps!
