Well, my first attempt at 15 minutes of fame, under the lights of the PokerDome... failed craptastically....
I went out first in the 1000 person satellite.......
UTG is ALL IN off the bat.. and everyone folds around to me, sitting on the button with 99. Now, it took a good 2-3 minutes for people to decide to fold or not, so, I had plenty of time to think about my decision to call... basically, if no one before me called, I was pushing.... and that is what I did...
He turns over K5o... which means I am ahead... pretty far if I am not mistaken.... FLOP and TURN are all rags.... giving him a 3 outter at the RIVER, maybe 6%.. thinks are looking pretty good for me, I am gonna double at a very early stage in the tournament, and probaly be able to bully some people out of pots..
The ugliest King of Clubs I have ever seen in my life flips on the RIVER, and my bid for TV stardom is over....
.. this time anyway..
Anyone else woulda called that?
( ScottMC is prolly tickled pink that I called it )

SuperDuperMan
Saw Superman Returns last night... its an alright flick.. nothing too special... had some slow points.. and the movie is long... Kevin Spacey steals the show... Ms. Bosworth, um.... ( didn't like her ).
A few nice action scenes... nothing too terribly special... i didn't see any special effects that impressed me..... closest thing would be Lois Lane being flung around inside a falling airplane... and for some reason, a different falling scene towards the end of the movie... I guess I'm jaded....
Looking forward to the next Pirate movie... prolly be the next one i see in the theatre..

Random
Robert Duvall, during an interview, about the making of 'Broken Trail', which I watched on AMC, this past Sunday and Monday evening, said he felt this casting was better than even 'Lonesove Dove'.
Well, altho I admire the man, and respect his work, he is afterall, one of my favorite actors, and probaly a favorite of many movie fans, I do think maybe he has lost his mind.....
'Broken Trail', altho entertaining, was nothing compared to 'Lonesove Dove'.
( It wasn't even as good as 'Open Range' ).
---
So, I'm dealt KK in the BB, early in the tourney.. a .50c SNG, 9 players... 5 people are all in before me... and I decide to fold... this is like the 3rd hand of the tourney... the flop comes AKK, and I would have won with quad K's, but, since I folded, the man with AA takes it down with a FH... eliminating 4 other players.., making it instantly a 5 player SNG with blinds of 10/20. The other 3 players, and myself, proceeded to take those chips from Mr. Fullhouse within 10 hands, and he was out, and the remaining 4 of us had relatively the same amount of chips...
I mention this cuz it just seemed bizarre to me.... the way it worked out.... I ended up taking second place...
---
In a different tourney, same night, this time a play money 100k SNG, the first hand of the tourney, I'm dealt KQs in the BB... folded to SB who completes... I just check... flop comes... ATJs... ( the nut flush, so to speak ), the turn is 8h and we both check, the river is the 7s and he checks to me, after thinking for a bit... I decide he is not gonna call any bet whatsoever, so there is no way for me to get anymore than the 20 he has already committed, so, I ofcourse go all in.... and to my suprise, he calls... with 89s... ( second nut flush, so to speak )...
Then he starts berating me for playing the hand wrong...... I finished 4th in this one, the bubble..
---
I saw an episode of PokerDome the other night.. and I feel like my level of poker play does not allow me to comment, but, well, these people suck... how the hell did they beat so many people to make it to the tv round?!?! I immediately signed up on Mansionpoker.net... but, have yet to find a satellite...
work calls

fathers day is around the corner
played in April's home game last week... was pleased to get the invite, as I have not done much poker, or poker blogging these last few months... I usually do well in these home games I decide to join, so, I know they aren't inviting me cuz they think I'm dead money.. :) but, I didn't do so well this last time.. finished 4th outta 6 players. ScottMc was there, along with Ryan, Matt, and Mike, the latter 3 me meeting for the first time, or at least, not remembering them if I met them before... I think I met Ryan once before at a tourney at Adam's... as far as I am concerned, we all played well.. and we all made a few mistakes at one point or the other....
Main thing was just hanging out and having fun... I couldn't stay for the cash game as I had to be up way early for a road trip... but I prolly woulda won my buy in back from the tourney.. :)
I asked Doyles Room to spot me .30c, as I had a dime in there and could do nothing with it.... i figured I could start with the micro limit tables and work my way up... but, they would have none of it.... 'We can not give you .30 at this time'... whatever.....
but, without even asking, Absolute Poker put 10 dollars in my account.. and I promptly played to .50c SnG's taking a 2nd and a 4th, to put me .15c ahead... such a high roller I am...
peace
