(un)Grumpy Old Men
Since January I've been daydreaming about hitting Vegas in June for some serious poker playing. I feel that if I play in maybe three tournaments odds are pretty good that I'll cash in at least one.
It's still a day dream because I don't have enough disposable cash to fund the trip, 3 buyins and stuff.....but you never know.
Today I'm reading Coop's blog (I really think Coop plays similarly to me) and I see that not only is HE playing in a WSOP event in June, but Memphis Mojo is playing in the same one too! Event #34 baby, on June 18th!
These guys are living my dream!
So of course, I decide that I AM GOING TO PLAY THAT SAME GODDAM TOURNAMENT. As an added bonus I'll get to meet/talk to two guys who really have a grasp of the game - then I'll do better in the tournament than them...and of course I'll win it. Perfect, right?
Nope.
I do my google search on Event #34 - I've gotta see what the buy-in is so I can do some turbo winning to fund my entry. But alas, it's not to be.
I'm too frigging young to play in that event! How many times does a 43 year old woman get to type that line! Hardly Never!
For example, I work about 2 minutes away from The Garden and a few weeks ago some gals from work and I went to a game. Before the game we headed to the sports bar across the street to start the night off right. As it was game night there was a long line on the side walk to get in. We're waiting in line and the door guy is checking EVERY ID, including a few older men....certainly older than me, but I guess they're carding everyone.
I'm the oldest in my group. The gals from work range from mid-twenties to early thirties, but I don't FEEL older. And in my mind, I don't LOOK alot older. I think I'd pass for mid thirties (in the right lighting).
Anway, as he's carding everyone, as we get closer to the front I go to get my ID out and the door guy says and I quote "Oh Sweetie, don't bother. I don't have to card YOU. Everyone else get'm out."
Yup. He's gotta card the men that are 50's looking, but me, I'm all set. :(
I couldn't be looking THAT old, because I managed to get on the Jumbotron during the game, and as a few of my guy friends suggested, No, it wasn't old lady night.
But back to my poker story.....
It's a senior's event! Turns out Coop and Memphis are nitty, old men. Makes me wish I was one too. :(
Just you guys wait!

Event 36....hmmm.....but I wanna play with you guys!
@my dear evp...yes I meant the Boston Garden, and we went to see The Bruins, ugh....it was against the Canadiens...I swear those fans are WORSE than sox fans when the yankees are in town, and that's saying something! Too much fighting!
re: poker, the original plan was Bellagio deep stack events in June....we'll see. I think June in Vegas will be perfect for sun worshipping too!
And there is no way I'll allow you to beat me so I'll have to use your pic for something else...hmmm...maybe for the same thing I use my Yankees toilet paper for. LOLLLLL totally kidding. (please excuse my nastiness, still on the cleanse diet that will NEVER get me as thin as you)
And then you can read all about it the next day...how you were beaten by a girl.
Side bet? If you're out before me you have to write a post that is entitled: Very Josie Kicked My Butt. If you think you're gonna take Josie money, no reason not to agree to the side bet right? :)
9pm eastern standard time - more info to come!
9pm et. Make sure you nap before hand. :)
