Well, it’s the end of an era. Today marks the first day out of my 20’s. Yep kids, I’m freaking 30 today. I guess that means that I should be married have about 2.5 kids, and a house with a white picket fence by now. That’s funny, especially if you know me. Instead, I’m single, have 2 dogs, and have a 19 year-old roommate. Now that’s funny, and you don’t even have to know me.
My parents are on their way to celebrate this glorious occasion (sarcasm), and I have absolutely no idea what we will do this weekend, other than drink copious amounts of fermented hops and barley of the Miller Lite variety. Hello beer gut! Hey I’m 30 now, ain’t I supposed to have a beer gut? Oh yeah, and I finally get to wear the wife beater shirts now. Kick ass. Maybe this turning 30 thing isn’t sooooo bad. But I also have male pattern baldness to look forward to, not so cool. Unless, I combine the three into an unholy trifecta: beer gut, wife beater shirt, and male pattern baldness. And then I’ll really wonder why I’m single.
As an aside, now that I’m 30, does that mean I have to take down the street sign I have as “art” in my living room?……………I don’t think so, but any comments on that will be appreciated and taken with a grain of salt.
Poker Topic of the Day (so anyone not interested in it can skip the next 2 paragraphs):
I have absolutely no good idea how to play in a SUPERTIGHT/AGGRESSIVE table. Interpoker’s (click on the link to the right for a $90 bonus) $1/$2 tables are incredibly tight, and they frequently end up being a Wrestlemania for the blinds. I discussed this exact topic with good ole Cameltoes this morning, and he said he was only ramming and jamming if he hit the flop. Not a bad idea, I guess. We are also bonus whoring so, the goal is to break even, and I think that it’s a pretty good strategy for this setup. What about if you’re trying to make money, as in without a bonus on the way? I think that it depends on the table dynamics. Is it constantly a blind-stealing mega-fight-fest (tight-aggressive table)? Are there people just limping in continuously (tight-passive table)? I can handle the tight-passive table with no problems. Ram and Jam is the way to go (and no Big R, I’m not talking about you and Betty Crocker).
With the tight-aggressive table, I think that you have 2 options. One is to play super tight like the rest of the field and grind it out. The other is to open up a little bit and try and blind steal more than your fair share. Option one is going to get you to break-even poker. Your not going to win much, and your not going to loose much either. Option 2 is going to have more variance, but I think that it’s the way to go over the long haul, as far as profits go. Am I totally off base here? Comments would be appreciated, and I will take them seriously…..maybe.
I just got urinated on by a 4 month old “Rockweilder”, because he’s not leash trained and scared out of his mind. As a side benefit, he sprayed anal gland jizz on my pants. For those of you that are untrained in the veterinary arts, dogs have 2 anal glands at 5 o’clock and 8 o’clock around, what else, the anus. They secrete a smell that can only be beaten by Big R’s farts. And now I have that smell on me. Happy Birthday to me! Great, just great.
Well, I hope that brought some joy to your life, as I know it didn’t for me. Just kidding. Keep on keepin’ on kids.
Editor's note: I just had AA beaten by A4sooooooted. The mother-trucker was in the BB an called a raise and a reraise. Flop comes 245 rainbow(no runner flush draw). He checks and cold calls another 2 bets cold, and then another raise. Turn is K, again checks and calls 2 bets cold. River comes a 4 and I for some odd reason had a really bad feeling he had a 4. Please help me. This is one helluva loosing streak. That pretty much sums up the past 3 1/2 months of poker playing.
Editor's note #2: I had AA beaten by 98sooooooted (calling 2 bets cold I might add). Mother trucker flopps JT7 for the Jack high straight. I did get justice against the same guy when I hit quad 8's. He even bet & reraised my on the river w/his QTsoooooted (he flopped a pair of Q's). Maybe there is justice afterall.
