You playing at Commerce? I wouldn't worry about it then.

Casino Arizona, ldo, but this guy's new so he's likely visiting. His big pot was 3-2o, UTG in a full kill pot.

I should be driving a Ferrari but I can't make a hand.

Poker player syndrome?

I swear just now he tossed the dealer a $2 chip asking for change, she gave him 2 $1 whites, he says 'what's this?' she tells him he asked for change, he says 'oh, yeah.'


In the middle of typing this I raised KK from the SB. The guy called me w his atc of course but what I've 'complained' about on here before happened: the pf limper folded to my raise. 8-16, nobody folds except to me. Mitch L. says it's a good thing so no more complaining.

jokes... that open is 100% standard given the situation. K8o might be debatable.

i overheard you when you were telling crazy witch lady your name. it wasn't too hard to figure it out from there.

Streak of 18 consecutive sessions without a 1+ rack win ended.
Killing spree threat level reduced to Yellow.

Jesse and Cap'n,
I am on poker hiatus, but I can't let this one go. You guys might be 100x better than me at the pokers, but this makes no sense. Unless the phlebotomist missed your vein and jabbed an artery, there's almost (and it's prolly closer to never) a correlation with your 'blood pressure' and filling up those tubes, 'cause that blood is coming out of your veins. The blood preesure is an arterial measurement. I realize nobody cares, but thought I could at least provide some knowledge on this, since it's clear I don't have much to offer on the pokers. If you don't believe me check with leo or surf doc.

Sounds like a reg to me, what's the problem?

You didn't respond to my text.

I had a thoughtful reply all typed out for HB re: his opponent's ailment or, more likely, impairment and had parenthetically remarked to jesse and Cap'n that blood pressure and venipuncture success are not related.

Then, the 2p2 Grench laid my efforts to waste by vaporizing my post as I was trying to submit it. (Wassup with that, pj? It only happens with my best composition.)

Then I figured Howard was prolly done playin' and I didn't wanna make my other pals think that there wasn't an upside to having hypertension so I just gave up on my reply.

How do you know that it's time to leave?

7 handed 40, young Internet player who always frustrates me and makes me do dumb things posts kill in mp. Folded to button, where I raise. Blinds and killer call. Flop AcQc7x, killer leads and I raise. Killer calls. Turn Q, he checks, Im too tired to deal with the impending checkraise, so I check. Turn 9s, he checks again and I should bet but again I know he will never fold to me ever so I check.

He smiles a sneaky smirk and says 6 high. I laugh, shake my head, and say "your good", and muck. The table is dumbfounded for a moment. Then I'm found dumb when they tell me I mucked a chop.

He was nice enough to give me half the pot anyways, which must have been doubly painful for him given how bad he's run the last two days.

that number hasn't been in use since july... but it is as of an hour ago, temporarily

DC, I enjoyed this post

No prob, I was half-joking because I had no idea whether it was true or not. The lab technician poking my arm thought it was funny though.

My doc called me tonight and said some test with my liver was kinda high so he wants to retest in 5 weeks and said no alcohol until then (alcohol can cause an abnormally high reading). I'm assuming he meant no alcohol until after 2pm tomorrow, right? Because I have a steak and wine lunch tomorrow that I've been planning for a few weeks now. It'll probably be more like chicken and wine now though.

EP raises, all call, I call QJ OTB, goofy calls along w/ the BB.

Flop: Q-J-3. Checked to me I bet and only goofy calls.

Turn: K. c/b/c

River: A. goofy donks, fml, but I'm NEVER folding anything to him. He declares str8 and rolls over 99. Dealer says no str8, hilarity ensues. I still manage to lose for the day.

I'm nearly 60 and this stuff makes me and my slightly elevated cholesterol seem not so bad. My blood pressure is 110/70, it's been the same my entire life. I hope things work out ok for you.

do you ever not enjoy any of DC's post? i dont think its possible.

Thanks Howard. Yeah, I got that elevated cholesterol thing too. Blood pressure 130/95. This stuff isn't really that bad anyway, it's all relative. You just focus on what you can do to make thigns better (diet and exercise) and it is what it is and what happens happens. Same as poker really...

For New Years I made a resolution to pay attention to more hands that I'm not in. I couldn't even follow my resolution for the very next hand.

Paying attention to hands is the way you admit you care about poker. **** that ****.

confirmed. the "taking forever to fill up tubes" is ridiculous and has much more to do with the blood drawing technique or needle size than anything related to blood pressure.

So... does the commerce or any casino cash checks?

Nothing personal DC, you know I like you and wish I could be playing and running like you, but....

You know you are a live one when...

I'm setting him up. I let him outplay me in pot after pot for weeks on end until I get the nuts and say

"arrrrrr innnn"!

Im pretty sure the commerce does, but only during business hours.
