Worst Bubble Ever

I played this MTT tourney today. 21 players.  1st place only wins the prize which is a $216 tourney ticket.  The buy in was 2,000 full tilt points.  Points I've been saving FOR EVER.

I was chip leader for the entire game....down to heads up and I lost.  Now he was the chip leader and I flop trip 7s.


He jams all in after the flop and I happily call.  I will have the chip lead again when I win this hand.  Then he catches runner, runner to make a straight.

Like a kick in the stomache.



2nd out of 21...and I win nothing....and get runner runnered.  That's bad.

Play smart.

That's pretty gross. Ain't it great to have a blog to vent about such things?

BTW, if you want to capture just the active window instead of your whole screen, you can use ALT-PrntScrn. Even better, a cheap utility like SnagIt or HyperSnap (which I use) gives you all sorts of options on what to grab, what form to grab it in, etc.

That sucks! If it's any consolation, it makes us people who didn't get sucked out on for a $216 prize feel much better about our little suck-out losses (yeah cash games).

Also, I do follow your blog, but I subscribed via Google Reader. If you think the blog list it shows in my profile is complete... well... let's just say it isn't even close haha.

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.

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
