My poker blog isn’t ready yet, so this goes here.

I was playing 3/6 at the Bike yesterday, hadn’t got much of anything, and was down about $75 or $80 after two and a half hours. I get dealt K♣Q♣ one off the button. A few limpers in, and I raise. It gets back to me capped, I call, and we’ve got 6(!) players seeing the flop at what had been a fairly tight table.

Flop comes 9TJ rainbow. I flopped the nuts! Someone in early position bets, I raise, he reraises, I cap. We’re down to 5 players. Turn is a blank, but puts two hearts on the board. Early bets again, I raise, and we’re down to three. River comes the 8♥. Early bets out once more, I just call because of the three hearts, and the third guy calls as well. Early better turns over a Queen (I don’t remember his other card) for the sucker straight. I take down the pot.

I went from down $80 to up $20. Played another hour or so, and finished up $21. Made $9 in 8 hours the day before. Not really worth my time if I’m just in it for the money. But I’m not. Any time I can play that much and not lose money, it’s worth it for me.

Bowling for Boys and Girls Club update: I’ve raised $90. I’ll easily make the minimum, and should come close to the goal.

Sadly, I didn’t even notice the sign in front when I took the picture.

On Sunday, April 18th, I will be bowling in a charity fundraiser for The United Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County. To bowl, I need to raise a minimum of $100, and their goal is $200 per person. If they get $200 from everyone bowling, they will raise almost $20,000. Their website is located at http://www.ucsbngbgc.com/, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like they have any information about this event there.

If you’d like to donate, you can send money via PayPal . I will put back in what PayPal takes out, so your full amount will get donated.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions.

I’ve really been neglecting this place lately. Sorry about that, you can blame my poker addiction.

I don’t really have much to say right now, as usual. Maybe I’ll just start making stuff up.

Maybe not. Anyway, I’m still alive, and playing lots of poker.

I haven’t put anything new here in a while, and with spring training
underway I figured this would do.
