BoDonk a donk
Once again I took down the Bodonkey..yay!!
This time I came into the final table as the leader and gave it up with about 4 players left. With three left, Smokkee had a nice lead on the table and I was second. I pushed QQ and was called by wwonka's AT which obviously turned into a FH for him. The very next hand I pushed AJ and smokk doublled me up with AT. I took my time and finally got a few hands in a row. After a bit, I was in the BB with 2Td and faced a 3x raise vs smokk...I decided to see a flop. I flopped 2P on a 5d Tc 2c board with smokkee holding K7c. I check called the push and dodged all his outs.
Willwonka and I both mentioned deja-vu since we were in this spot just a couple weeks ago. I played the hammer on the first hand of heads up and wwonka just had no chance... I got TT, AQ, AA and finished him off with JTd vs Jx. Good times.
Next week everyone gets their change to tilt waffles as he has a bounty on his head, so sign up early and we'll see you Thursday if I can make it.

in which we jinx ourselves.
I seldom write about my sports betting, mostly because I'm not a long term winner. I'll occasionally get the bug and throw out some bets and a crazy parlay or two in addition to the 2 NFL pick'em leagues and the college pick'em league I'm in.
This week I've already won some very close matchups with a blocked field goal helping the Crimson Tide to cover the 3.5. A one point Green Bay loss, that covered the 2 point spread. And a last second non-meaningful hail mary in the ATL/NO to go over 50.
Then I took all my bets and wrapped them up into a little parlay like so:
6 Team Parlay
Football - College Lines (Game) Point Spread
(167) Alabama -3½ (-115) Sat@3:30p
Competitor:(168) LSU
(213) Tennessee Titans -3 (-105) Sun@1:00p
Competitor:(214) Chicago Bears
(234) Arizona Cardinals -9½ Mon@8:35p
Competitor:(233) San Francisco 49ers
(217) New Orleans Saints vs. (218) Atlanta Falcons Over 50 Sun@1:00p
(223) Green Bay Packers +2 Sun@1:00p
Competitor:(224) Minnesota Vikings
(235) Baltimore Ravens -1 Sun@1:00p
Competitor:(236) Houston Texans

So now I get to sweat a 10 point win for the Cardinals to hit a nice little sum of money. GO CARDS!
So now the thing that will kill me is that if I hadn't tried to reverse jinx myself, would I still have lost...

building bridges to Obama
Here are the contents of an email I received from a good friend this afternoon:
In the spirit of putting America first, I have decided to reach out to the new Admin by re-naming my Black & White, neutered male freeloading cat of little accomplishment, Obama…..he was previously known as Beauregard.
For the record.
(I think it is only fitting that the picture shows him hard at work in the Oval Office (asleep) sitting on top of my wallet!!!!
I can not recall the last time I laughed so hard at an email.

I went through a few hands that were key to the final table for me. I'll try not to bore you too much, but wwonka had such a massive chiplead on the table, I'm proud of the comeback.
Here's my lowpoint on the final table:
My buddies come to save the day here. I make the dreaded early position min raise and get a call from NewinNov. He commits to TP and I hold on.
wwonka was making medium sized raises and getting alot of folds On this hand I put him on a weak ace and went with my gut. I really didn't expect a call.
Here's another hand where I felt he was making a stealy move. I made a re-raise of his smallish looking bet and checked it down.... OH and nothing beats the JACKACE.
I finally take a lead with this one. I bet the turn when I thought I was ahead.
And I take out columbo with this: Astin is right...Aces are easy.
And here's a truly nasty hand when I take out CEM. I call the BB and he raises just enough for me not to fold.
And here's a masterful play of the hammer for me. I raise and smoof-call wwonka's re-raise. Obv I jam the flop and he sucks out.
This got us to fairly even, but I kept the pressure on and got cards when I needed them. Good times!

The Tax System - Explained With Beer
Pretty easy way to explain things. I am Kajagugu and I approve this message:
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.'Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 ( 25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
'I only got a dollar out of the $20,'declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'
'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'
'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'
'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Double or nothing
I know all the Matrix tourneys are all the rage right now on Full Tilt. I refuse to deposit there anymore just out of sheer hard-headedness, so I've been plying my trade on Stars for the past couple of weeks. I happened upon their 'double or nothing' SNG's and I'm loving them (enable doom switch now).
The table starts with ten and if you manage to outlast 5 of your opponents, you double up! (minus the vigorish)
I'm currently on fire with these all the way up to the $100 level, I have cashed in every single attempt. As you would imagine the play is generally frog's ass tight in the early stages. I usually will take a stab with an open range early on to accumulate a few chips for the mid-levels when the table decides to wake up. Take note, these are turbos and the ante' starts up around the 50/100 level. These are great for me, since I can usually slate only about an hour or so to play.
I would be interested in hitting up the re-buy donkfest set up by Numb, so let me know if you'd like some cash on Stars and we can swap.
BTW....I am continuing to cross post at www.iam23skidoo.com. I will move there exclusively in December.
Cheers all, sorry I'm not posting often I just don't have much to say.

How Fitting.
In case you don't already know, I am cross posting (for now) at http://www.iam23skidoo.com
You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

I endorse this message
This may be the one and only political post you'll get from me. But when things begin to threaten my ability or potential ability to provide for my family then the gloves come off.
I strongly encourage you to wake up and pay attention, this country is falling into a socialist wreck and is a shell of its former self. I don't know much about economics, but I know that throwing bad money after worse money is generally a bad idea. I try to listen to people who are smarter than me in these instances. I'm a recent devotee of Dave Ramsey and although I disagree with his sometime totalitarian views I can not disagree that the man knows finance. So when he posted his Common Sense ideas for financial solvency in this country, I was compelled to follow his advice. I strongly encourage you to take a look and let your representative know that he will be out of a job if this bill passes. It's the only thing they care about.

ROI - LICIOUS
Attention: I will begin cross-posting at www.iam23skidoo.com
I'm still busy tweaking(ie. learning CSS) some of the functionality, but it's ready enough.
My 12 readers might want to update your feeds over there as I will begin posting there exclusively in '09
Once again I found myself alone for the evening. The wife has been neck-up in school stuff for the last few weeks and doesn't look to slow down for the rest of the semester. Her hard work has resulted in some spare time for me after the kids go to bed. Obviously I'm gonna take the opportunity to sling some cards.
I saw a 3+ rebuy to the 50/50 and figure what the hell. My only self induced exception was that I would not rebuy more than 5 times. I decided to start with the minimum of 1000 chips, and never rebought until the add-on.
At the same time I saw a 3K guarantee that was about to start with a little overlay, so I decided to join that as well. Then I realized it was limit. DOH. I buckled in and played G-cox tight until I accumulated some chippies.
The rebuy was easy and I got my 50+5 with a few minutes left of registration into the 50/50. I decided to cash out and take the T$ to focus on the LHE since I was hovering in the top 10 for a good bit.
I hit the final table as the short stack, but built up to 3rd in chips, unfortunately I sniffed out a bluff that ran into a straight and petered out in 5th.
So mark that about $30 invested turned into about $300. I'll take that on any night.
Here's a pic of the 3k final table.
Also a hearty congrats to Dusty who was busy taking down a $3 PLO MTT...Talk about ROI!

Duck And Cover.
I joined the Riverchasers late last night and donked it up real good.
About the third hand I see is QQ. I ended up calling a push and ran into KK. My donkey powers were fully engaged though and I rivered a flush and bad beat Rich.
I had a bunch of fun from there and lead the tourney until we got close to the FT. I went on card-dirge tilt and gave some chips away only to flame out in 6th. Donkaments are so much fun.
I dabbled in 5/10 Limit Stud/8 for a bit, bought in for $200, floundered down to about $80 andbuilt donked it back up to about $350 before closing out the night.
I want to send a hearty good luck to my friends and everyone else in the Houston/Galveston area. Sit tight, and don't panic, and NEVER forget your towel.
Have a good weekend folks, I'm hosting poker at the house tonight for my neighbors and a couple of bloggers have joined the fray, should be a good time!!

skillz-a-licious
Well I was going to come on and say that I had the damn thing in the bag until some doofus doubled waffles up to let him back in the game.
As always the doofus was me..
4 handed and I have a healthy lead fueled by 5 or 6 KO's and plenty of recockulous beats.
See y'all next time.

OK, so is IGGY in vegas this weekend?
LINKY
We are looking for height-challenged female(s) (as in midget, dwarf, munchkin, little person, just don't know the correct non-offensive terminology) to help run our fantasy football draft. We will be 10 males in a suite at the Mandalay Bay drafting for four hours on August 23th starting sometime in the late afternoon.
Your duties will be to make sure none of us run out of frosty beverages, to keep track of players taken on an oversized draft board (step stool included), and to wrestle under a glass table while either partially clothed or not clothed at all (this is why we would prefer more than one of you). Bonus points if you know something about football, know how to mix drinks, and enjoy making sure everyone is having a good time. We promise we will not degrade you by using your head for a coaster, nor will we expect any special favors as we value professionalism over anything.
Last year when I posted this ad we received an offer from a female who simply had no legs, which I determined to be cheating. So please, only true little people apply.
If interested, please respond by Friday. And don't worry about bringing anything as we will supply beverages, glass table, and rainbow with pot of gold.
Unfortunately we can not meet in Vegas for my fantasy football league. Join ANYWAY!

Weekend Wrapup
Hey there kiddles!
I haven't pumped one of these out in a while, so what the hell.
Friday night was my monthly game in the hood. I had a slight scare when I couldn't get into the clubhouse at first. Something was fishy with our 'awesome' new card key system and no one could get in. I called the wife, since she is on the board and she came up and tried to get into the hide-a-key, but that wasn't working either. Finally she had the bright idea of getting a key fob from the lifeguard and it worked flawlessly.
We got the $20 tourney started around 8:30 and played down to 2 players who split. Butch came down to show the n'hood donks how disciplined tight play can win. Even though my 56c sucked out on his KK when I was getting short.
We followed that up with a 1/1 $100 max rotation of OH/8 and NLH. I completely obliterated the table and ended +300 after dropping some cash in the donk wild card games that JewFro likes to play.
Saturday morning came early as the wife had to go take a test and I was working on about 5 hours of sleep and a 12 pack of beer. YAY. MasterP had a baseball tryout for the travel baseball team. His first at bat he got plunked in the left elbow, and that pretty much killed his tryout. He gutted through pitching (not well) for an inning and made it to bat for another try, in ovbious pain.
I'm not sure how these coaches evaluate 9-10 year old talent...I'm really glad I don't have to. regardless of weather he makes the travel team, he'll be signed up for Fall Ball. The kid has an insatiable thurst for playing any sports and to my great satisfaction he is a good ball player and loves watching it too.
We had the Olympics on for the a couple hours when we got home, and he is just amazed at all of it, its really cool to see him so jazzed about these sports. He has a deep appreciation for how good all these atheletes are and really wants to be the best athelete he can.
We spent the rest of the day at the pool as the neighborhood had a luau. There were no hula girls, no roast pig (or poi), and no damn pina colada's or anything. lame
The higlight of the festivities was the dunk tank woo hoo!
Saturday night we finished off by watching a movie at the baseball field. Its all for the kids, you know. We watched Nim's island, which was about cute and stupid enough to make me puke.
Sunday afternoon was spent watching more Olympics and going to spend all my poker winnings on school crap for the kids. They went back to school this AM, putting me back on the early schedule until June. Good times.
PS - Don't forget to sign up for the pickem and head to head leagues before the season starts. If I get more interest in the H2H league I can push back the draft if need be. It is currenlty set for 8/21 at 9:30 PM.

I'm feeling much betta now...I think I'll go for a walk.
The good news is that I'm not broken, although I won't be running the 40 anytime soon.
I have two BS injuries on my right leg. Turf toe and a Bone bruise. Yeah, both injuries make it a little difficult to walk, but the knee is feeling a little better already. The entire posterior side of my Tibia

I'm feeling much betta now...I think I'll go for a walk.
The good news is that I'm not broken, although I won't be running the 40 anytime soon.

CODA
Sorry for the delay, I have been in various states of druggedness and sleep for the better part of 2 weeks now. I get my MRI results tomorrow and have been in pain for too darn long.
The source of my pain and misery is obviously my own damn fault. I took a few liberties with a Jet ski that I was not fully in tune with and managed to flip the thing over as I was taking a hard left turn.
I leaned heavily into the turn, but the wind and choppy water threw me a challenge. At the apex of the turn my right knee finally gave way under the torque. As I fell off, my toe managed to get a little stuck in the rail and helped to pull my leg a little further away from my body.
I was in horrible pain and struggling to get the Jetski turned back over. My mind went back to Gary's "its real damn hard to turn these things over" statement and cursed myself for being a moran.
I did manage to get the thing tipped over, but it was waterlogged by that time and Gary Hasslehoff was on the way. Now I imagined myself in the hospital in west egypt Oklahoma signing over a $xxxx.xx to Gary for a jetski.
Thanks to some very helpful East Cobb locals we got the Jetski pulled onto the trailer, drained it, and sent it on its merry way.
We returned to the house and got ready for deer burgers. I just about OD'd on pain killers, slept through most of dinner, then held it together long enough to split the lake tournament with surf.
Afterwards we played a little cash game where I played my usual loosish game and amassed a pretty healthy stack. Two hands i remember was sucking out vs Maudie (or Special K) with J6o, and pushing with 77 preflop geting called by SpecialK and his AK. He flopped broadway and I runner runnered a FH. Good times.
That would be the last winning poker for me for the trip.
I sucked it up and limped around the rest of the visit, it was really painful, but the drinks were flowing. Truly my favorite time of the trip was sitting around the lakehouse on Saturday night, drinking copius amounts of whiskey and just chatting with the boys. That's the stuff you can not remanufacture. No matter how hard you try.
Saturday was the big tourney, and I was raring to go. Unfortunately a 8 hour sit and go doesnt necessarily fit my nature and I went down in 6th place. I donated another 2 buyins in the cash game playing my particular style of drunken donery, but you just can't buy that kind of fun in my opinion.
I do have some pictues on flickr, if you want to see them. I stole some from kat too. I have to add you as a freind to see the pics, so drop me a line or leave a comment if you want.
Wish me luck at the Doctor tomorrow and you have yourself a good weekend!
Cheers.

Okie Vegas gets skidoooo'd.
Hi guys,
I'll give you a summary of what I can remember from the weekend. I'm not sure how long this will be so bear with me.
Thursday morning I had to ride into work with the wife. Her minivan has had its final problem and I refused to fix it.
I got to the airport a little early so I obviously found the nearest bar and camped out for a few. I finished a few beers and went to the gate with about 30 minutes to spare. I figured I would plug on the laptop and watch a bit of my movie before I got on the plane. Wouldn't you know it, my dumb ass managed to forget the fucking plug to my laptop (again).
I tried to not let it bother me, last year I was able to find a CompUSA to get a new plug. Somehow I managed to forget that CompUSA went out of business.
I had a non eventful flight in which my battery died. I landed and came down the stealthy side of the terminal, but Gary had a bead on me from way down.
Everyone came out to get me, which was pretty cool. For the first time I met Joanada, Buddy, and Surf's wife 'peaches' as she was dubbed by OOOSSSSUUUU.
Off we went OZZIES to meet Ms Maudie and to partake in the worlds best chicken fried steak. This served as a great stomach base for the next 24hrs or so.
The whole gang caravan'd to Riverwind casino, where we all sat down for a little freindly 1/2. My high water mark was about 310, but I managed to piss almost all that away by 6pm rolled around. By then everyone was ready to hit the lake, except for MsMaudie who stole my mojo and ran her 2nd buy in up to about 5.
We hit the crows nest and Buddy was attacked by a paddle wielding maniac. I personally think she took it easy on him. I managed to find myself lying in the grass at one point and dumping IT from the golf cart at another. I can't say I didn't enjoy that a little.
Tragedy tried desperately to get out of our bet around 4am, but when I wouldn't let him, he went inside topass out throw up for an hour or so and left me alone, resulting in his disputable 'win' of our last longer.
Friday morning I felt fairly human, we awaited the return of MsMaudie and the intro to SpecialK, fresh from Iraq.
OSU entertianed us for a good bit by his kitty hunting prowess, but finally the gang was assembled and we were ready to hit the lake.
Tomorrow I'll enthrall you with my death defying antics on the JetSki as well as the poker table... stay tuned.
I'm done for now..I'll finish up with a hearty thanks to all those who planned, helped and came to this little event. It is certainly my cup of tea.

Full Disclosure
My brain will slowly start regurgitating memories from this weekend. It took me about as long to fly from Oklahoma as it did for Surf and Peaches to drive. YAY.
At least I didn't get stuck in Washington like poor little Kitty.
I am nursing a bit of a wound, the doctor says I most likely tore my ACL. I go to get an MRI tomorrow. For now, the meds are keeping my head even foggier than it was 3 days ago.
See you soon.

3 days
What is it about 3?
Three Days,
one of my favorite songs.
3 Feet High and Rising, featuring The Magic Number is one of the best hip hop albums ever made. Ironically(?) De La Soul (3 words) featured 3 MC's.
Luck (usually bad) comes in 3's
Book of Threes.
We three Kings, 3 wise men, Number three, the holy trinity...
Famous people die in threes.. See Jim McKay, Tim Russert, George Carlin
Has anyone ever told you that lighting a third cigarette on one match is bad luck?
3rd time is a charm.
3 strikes and you are out.
Don't even get me started on 23....
In not 3 but 2 days I'll be meeting the Okie Vegas crew at the Airport. woooooot!

I left my wallet in EL Segundo
Looky here.
I had to put my disappointment behind me for not being able to play poker at WSP. I hope everything is cool with Jamie. I know there's bit of added pressure to perform lately, I'm there too.
As fate would have it, I bumped into Alceste on my way back from lunch. Totally random. He happens to work in the Financial District and was out to get some soup. I mentioned that I had plans with HoP for dinner and invited him to come along.
Fast forward a few hours and I arrive at Baby Bo's. We settle in to the bar and Jordan suggests a pitcher of sangria. I'm totally cool with sangria even though I know the sugar is gonna give me a headache. But this is good stuff, not just red wine, sugar and fruit.
I should have been tipped off when it took about 5-10 minutes to make the pitcher, but I figured, hey its probably like 15 bucks or so. After another pitcher and a shot of Patron I call for the tab and our Bar bill was over a Frankin....DOH, that's New York for ya.
We three bloggers be chewed the fat and our food for a good solid hour or so. I was less than impressed with their mole, but it was tasty enough. We said our goodbyes around 8:45.
I decided to walk the 10 blocks in the direction of my hotel to see if I could find some free wi-fi and a beer. Jordan had mentioned the SKILLZ series at dinner and with all the card talk we had, I was jonesing.
My first option after walking the 10 damn blocks was my hotel. I prodded the front desk for a better internet connection but they were hopless. Wireles only and it BLEW. She mentioned a 'lounge' on the 10th floor so I figured it wouldnt hurt to check it out.
I walk into the 'lounge' and see a few tables, 2 computers and ... nothing. I guess my definition of a louge involves cigars, scotch and scantily clad female singers on a piano. Theirs did not.
I popped back out to the street and went across to Fitzgeralds. Colin was oh so helpful getting me logged in to their wireless and hooking me up with a beer. I settled down to a table near the wall, and more importantly an outlet.
I made it into the Skills tourney and also opened up Pokerstars, I had my gamboool on and played way too many O/8 hands to remember. I fluctuated between first and last then flamed out.
I played all over the place on PS, sticking with 'other games' HORSE and O/8.
I made a nice little double + with this hand:
PokerStars Game #18521285215: Omaha Hi/Lo Pot Limit ($3/$6) - 2008/07/01 - 22:43:57 (ET)
Table 'Ortutay' 9-max Seat #3 is the button
Seat 2: 23skidoo ($300 in chips) BB
Seat 3: linraze ($411.30 in chips)
Seat 4: ppam ($450 in chips)

You guys have a safe and happy 4th of July!!
I had to put my disappointment behind me for not being able to play poker at WSP. I hope everything is cool with Jamie. I know there's bit of added pressure to perform lately, I'm there too.
As fate would have it, I bumped into Alceste on my way back from lunch. Totally random. He happens to work in the Financial District and was out to get some soup. I mentioned that I had plans with HoP for dinner and invited him to come along.
Fast forward a few hours and I arrive at Baby Bo's. We settle in to the bar and Jordan suggests a pitcher of sangria. I'm totally cool with sangria even though I know the sugar is gonna give me a headache. But this is good stuff, not just red wine, sugar and fruit.
I should have been tipped off when it took about 5-10 minutes to make the pitcher, but I figured, hey its probably like 15 bucks or so. After another pitcher and a shot of Patron I call for the tab and our Bar bill was over a Frankin....DOH, that's New York for ya.
We three bloggers be chewed the fat and our food for a good solid hour or so. I was less than impressed with their mole, but it was tasty enough. We said our goodbyes around 8:45.
I decided to walk the 10 blocks in the direction of my hotel to see if I could find some free wi-fi and a beer. Jordan had mentioned the SKILLZ series at dinner and with all the card talk we had, I was jonesing.
My first option after walking the 10 damn blocks was my hotel. I prodded the front desk for a better internet connection but they were hopless. Wireles only and it BLEW. She mentioned a 'lounge' on the 10th floor so I figured it wouldnt hurt to check it out.
I walk into the 'lounge' and see a few tables, 2 computers and ... nothing. I guess my definition of a louge involves cigars, scotch and scantily clad female singers on a piano. Theirs did not.
I popped back out to the street and went across to Fitzgeralds. Colin was oh so helpful getting me logged in to their wireless and hooking me up with a beer. I settled down to a table near the wall, and more importantly an outlet.
I made it into the Skills tourney and also opened up Pokerstars, I had my gamboool on and played way too many O/8 hands to remember. I fluctuated between first and last then flamed out.
I played all over the place on PS, sticking with 'other games' HORSE and O/8.
I made a nice little double + with this hand:
