Home Game

Had a small 5 playa home game tonight.  I made the decision to tighten up my game earlier in the day.  The thing is I enjoy playing more hands than I should.  And when I open that range up, I tend to lose.  So I said "Josie, tonight, you're going to play far fewer hands and just see what happens."  And you know what happened?  We played 2 tourneys and I came in 2nd and first.  Not only that, but I made some pretty sweet (and accurate) lay downs, like laying down K-3 when the board was K-7-7 and I was facing a raise.  I laid it down face up and saw I was up against K-10.

And my reads were right on.  Calling raises when I was ahead, folding when behind.  Pretty happy with my play.  I just have to keep it up.

Just 5 days away my friends.  5 Measly days.

Play smart.

7 days, 8 sleeps for me. Ugh. The clock keeps stopping.

Thank Goodness

Tomorrow is going to be a good day.  On tap is a poker tournament at 1pm (yay) and then...... The New England Patriots VS The Denver Broncos Tom Terrific VS Mediocrity (but religious!) lol I LOL at anyone who thinks this could even be a close game.  No.  It wouldn't have been close at Mile High Stadium and it surely won't be close at Gillette.  That being said, I will be enjoying it very much.  I figure I should be home from the tourney by 6pm, which will give me enough time to get my sweats on and settle in for the show. For my post fantasy football league I need The Pats to win and GB too for that matter.  I don't think this will be a problem.  :)  It's going to be a fun Saturday. Let's get back to poker for a moment.  The last time I played at this private club I did quite badly.  I'll be up against a field where over 50% of the players do not play basic poker well, as well as  Pokah Dave (awesome dude) his sister and...

First of all, thank you to Jon for being the first to wish me a Happy Birthday on this blog. Yes, it's my birthday and yes, I'm fucking old. STFU. Not only am I working on my birthday, but guess what I'm doing at lunch time today? I'm going to the post office to ship brownies to a grumpy person! There's some irony for you. Oh and Lindy was 100% right. After the brownie batter was scraped into the baking pan and in the oven....the brownie covered bowl and spoon were calling me and yep, mmmmm I had a taste. Frigging yummy! Oh and I hada brownie after they were done too. It was almost my birthday for Pete's sake! They're delish. So I'm in the elevator of my building riding up to my office this morning and there's an unfamiliar man in the elevator with me, going to a different floor and he says to me, something like: "It can't be that bad, why so glum?" (this is just me in my early morning/precoffee/anti-social stance) Fo...

To Hug or Not to Hug

Image
When I was little, growing up in a large Italian family, you hugged and kissed everyone.  Aunts, uncles, even people you didn't know well, as a show of respect.  That's the way it was in my family. Today everyone seems to hug but these days it's awkward for me.  At my weekly game it's how I greet and send off the fishies.  But like I said, it's awkward.  There's Noodles....hug him and you might get humped.  But dammit, he won't allow me to not hug him. I think it's the highlight of his week and I hate to disappoint. Then there's Youth, the guy that usually tags along behind him.  He's a young, good looking thing, but I don't know him very well, so why should I hug him?  I guess it's because I hug the other guys, so it seems weird to leave one out.  Then there's The Mayor.  He turns a bright shade of crimson just talking to me, so hugging is waaay awkward.  But not hugging is too! And do I really need to hug guys ...
