What a weekend. My sister came in to town, the Texans won their first game, and poker went well. Holy trifecta, Batman! Well, Paradise Poker went well; screw Interpoker. I'm on a wild ride there. Oh well. After cleaning like a madman Friday and Saturday, I picked up my sister from the airport. I figured I'd even wash my sheets, since I was nice enough to give my sister my bed and I took the couch.
In case any of you has never been to Houston before, the downtown area can be a little confusing, especially for a Ft. Worth native like myself. My sister wanted to head to a sushi restaurant for something different. I hit up Mapquest.com to find directions to the place. By the looks of the map, it looked easy enough to get to, but noooooooo, the real world kicked in. We drove around for about 30 minutes trying to find the sucker, to no avail. Apparently the directions we got were waaaaaaay off because the street we were supposed to turn on didn't exist. Nice, real freakin' nice. After numerous wrong turns that lead us into the ghetto, and driving the wrong way down a one-way street with 2 cars heading right for us, we finally decided to give up our quest for sushi. Yep that's right kids, I attempted the old fashioned game of chicken just outside of downtown Houston on the outskirts of the ghetto. You want to hear something cool though, WE WON!!! The other two contestents of said game veered out of our way, and they lost!!! I'm sure that they were quite upset with themselves for loosing a game of chicken, and I bet they had the Hershey squirts to prove it. Gotta love going downtown.
Sunday, we got up early to head to my sister's friend's tailgate party. Big R and N met us out there, and let me say that these people know how to tail gate. They had 2 hot bartenders serving up whatever you liked (well almost anything, as I don't think that they appreciated my gawking at them with my tongue hanging out). They also had 3 big tents, 3 t.v.'s, all you could eat brauts, and did I mention the hot bartenders? Oh yeah, they wanted me. We watched the Texans win their first game all season, as they are now 1-6 for the season! Playoff bound baby! LOL.
Now I have to keep the house clean, cause the padres are coming up this weekend for my 30th birthday. Dad & Mom, I'll take the hot bartenders for my present, if you please. Aw, gee thanks.
I'm now 30% of the way to clearing my Paradise bonus. For those of you looking to start playing at a good site, please click on the Paradise Poker link on my site and have fun playing. It's a pretty big site, with a peak of around 13,000 players on at peak times. Lots of different poker games, and even blackjack for those of you that really like to gamble, and I know you do. I have been 3 tabling their, and the bonus clears pretty quickly, as they count any hand that's raked at least $0.25, and they dole it out in $10 increments, so not too shabby.
Interpoker is another animal. There are quite a few good players there. I think that most people playing there are just trying to clear the bonus also. I have been on a steady downswing trying to get to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I mean the bonus. So kids, the take home message is, "Buyer beware."
Interesting thing happened whilst 3 tabling on Paradise. I was dealt Cowboys on 2 tables at the exact same time. Wanna guess what happened? I won a 3.25 BB pot at one table, and lost 5.5 BB at the other, as I ran into none other the Mr. Rockets. Why does this seem to happen so often? You finally get dealt KK and start yelling, "Big bucks, no Whammies!", and get "lucky" enough for no Whammy (a.k.a. Aces) hit the board. Then the other cat flips over Rockets and your heart gets smashed to pieces. Damn you Fate/Karma/Ms. Variance!!
I've gotta pay the rent, and I hope that this post was worth the wait, Cameltoes. Keep on keepin' on kids.
