we've probably played together at some point.

Does anyone ever get sick from handling chips/cards etc?

I swear I used to never be sick until I started frequenting live casinos. I'm a huge purel nit and I'm sick as a dog immediately after a day stint at Foxwoods. So frustrating. Gonna grind in a spacesuit next week.

poker chips are probably some of the dirtiest things on the planet.

I feel so strange today. I declared war on my landlord over a $94 'adjustment' they are trying to add to my June and July rent. Meanwhile the Aurora Massacre is in the background.

I know there were, and no doubt still are, private games, but I guess you had to know someone. Of course this was before the internet boom and sites like 2+2. Now I'd just ask you guys.

Not to mention the Syria massacres, etc. Sometimes you do stop and think - is this really that serious?

Finished the night +1.57k

- was stuck ~2.5 at one point. Right before leaving I open JT, 2 callers, massive fish who overplays hands 3bets. (this guy flatted a single raise, then bet/shoved AA on J97r into PFR...... 200BB eff). I call, and one more caller. flop gin: AKQ... And villain proceeds to get 2.8k in with AQ. So bit of run good there
- LOL flipped for 600BB. AK < QQ AIPF for 3k each middle of session against good reg.
- those were the big (>5k) pots... Others were less interesting.

So the heater is not stopping:
- Wed: +5.1
- Thurs: +5.7
- Fri: +1.5

Playing tomorrow!

It took me forever to get into a the home game/underground scene in Atlanta. I am hooked well into the underground, but don't have a lot of real regular good home games. I am on the lists for a lot of games though and pretty much have my pick of where I play most nights (oddly Tuesday is completely open right now).

When I used to travel a lot to DC, I played in a couple of nice games there. good times.

When I grow up I want to be masaraksh. I also want to go to Europe and play high enough so I can use those plaques. Those are sweet.
And I want a pony.

Reraising the frivolity, you may have noticed a monsoon on TWC's radar that stretched from Tucson to Flagstaff coming in from the Indian country East. It looks like there was a black hole east of Mesa into which the entire middle of green line disappears. Just when you thought Mesa couldn't suck any more

I sat down one night at a very friendly home game. A friend who is a massive donator sat down next to me, and I immediately started making a loud "pinging" noise. Another player asks what I am doing, and I said "Sorry, my fish finder started going off."
The same player wrote a check to the host (again all friends) to cover his buy ins, and I told him the next time he could just make it out to my mortgage company to cut out the middle man.
I am a prick. Lol.

Just left up $45 I'm really tired tonight and couldn't get nothing going. Working and playing sucks. I used to have all the energy, which was an advantage over my opponents. Sucks being a rec player now. Bout to go home, drink and play with my kids before they go to bed.

Wasn't really planning to take the night off, but my swim went long and sort of wiped me out, and I went in afterward just to lay down for a bit...

I wanted to take the night off. But I have that gamble in me. I was up 400 before taking a few beats to ss. Sucks running into the top of peoples ranges. One hand I had AQ on a AKQ board. Villain was a shorty and I couldn't fold after a cbet and a raise for $130 more guy has J10 lmao.

I've developed a new bad habit. I got AK in Ep, goes multiway. Bet, bet fold to a turn all in on a K85Q board. Villain shows 85 all proud like and I say:

Spoiler:

Bad, bad Ike. I've done this 3 times or so and it confuses the hell out of the fish.

Of course eventually he will realize he is turning his hand into a bluff against you and you will never call with worse. Stop educating

Fold for about 3 orbits and then get 99 utg+1. Raise to $7, next guy calls, folds to passive calling station who 3bets to $21... Fold. Ez game I guess?
