44 Is The New 34


Well it's official.  I'm old.  Thank goodness I don't look it!  :)

I had a very nice birthday and got a few poker books!


Checkraising the Devil  is the autobiography of Mike "The Mouth" Matusow.  I cannot wait to start reading it.  It's supposed to be gritty and true account of his experiences with poker, drugs, etc. 

Cricket got me this book:  Outplaying The Boys which seems to be tips for women who are playing against men.  I dunno that there is much to learn from this book, but I'll be reading it as soon as I'm done with Mr. Matusow.  The book got me thinking, that I could probably write a book on the subject myself. :)

I'll do a write up on both when I'm done.

Here's a few pictures of me and Sugar Bear.

Yeah, I know it's blurry.


Sugar Bear gave me these earrings for my birthday.

What a great day.  Tomorrow should be a good day too.  Mama's going gambling.

Play smart.

44, eh? Well, you are known for being redundant. And, Lightning tells me the single digit is right where he places your chat age.

So, keep motoring toward the double nickles -- where the wheels really start to fall off.

OK, keeping it to just looks and speed limits, yeah, you could qualify as Miss School Zone.

Happy Birthday Josie
You know this means that any pocket 4's you get today have to be pushed like Aces. Hopefully that works better for you and 5-10 worked for me.
By the way my wheels fell off at about 46 so keep that in mind. Looks like you got some good books to read. The Matusow one is very good.

Thanks Neo Baby!

I never even thought of it, but I will play 4-4 hard and we'll see if it pays off.

Happy Birthday, enjoy the new books and GL gambling. Heck, 44 is just another number -- wait until you're my age and you'll really be whining.

Oops, I meant to say, hopefully that works better for you THAN 5-10 worked for me.

Neo, your remark approaches infantile. You sound like an 11 year old.

Belated Happy Birthday, Josie! You sure as hell don't look 44--seriously, I thought you were in your early 30s. Here's to a fantastic year!

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...

PATRIOTS FTW!

Cannot frigging wait for Sunday, when the PATRIOTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL.  And no it's not going to be close.  I predict Tom Terrific passes for close to 400 yards.  Take that to the bank. GOOOOOO PATRIOTS! Josie

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.
