This isn't really a comment on your last post. I tried to send you an email but received an undeliverable message for rakewell@cox.net. I know that you moderate your comments so I figured that its as good a way as any to get you a message. Here it is:
I read your blog fairly consistently. I occasionally post comments under the moniker BigTikit.
You must check out this link to the results of recent tournament at the Commerce Casino.
She is as pleasant to see as she is to talk to, just the way you put it in your own words on the blog.
As I am a regular follower of your blog, it was easy to identify her in person, but, wanted to hide the identity at the table. I was trying to see how I can get her attention, I said welcome to the table with a smile, but, I am sure it was taken as a casual greeting.
During one of the hands the turn and river were 2 and 4, the raiser wins it with a single pair, he didn't have a clue about "The Grump". It was the perfect oppurtunity, I said to the table, do you folks know a hand named "The Grump". It was amazing no one had a clue, except for one (yours truly).
I usually post on two plus two in the Chuck forum. You should pay us a visit next time, it is one of the best action tables in our area. Also, the spring open (in April) at Borgata brings in a lot of poker players and would be a good time to visit DC.
Please say hai to CARDGIRL for me. I didn't get a chance to talk to her at length.
What do you do at a table, where you know the players are overplaying their single pairs?
I waited, I waited, I waited... I donated, I donated and I donated some more for a good cause with no returns.
A hand in example, 57 suited, called a raise for 12 (5 callers, raiser is one of the players who plays his pairs to the maximum). Flop comes 368 (with one suit). I called 25 on the flop, turn 2 (same suit, oesd and small fd), I pushed for 25 more on a 40 bet. Missed every possible card in the deck. He shows pocket Q's.
A few hands like the one above, a few more where I raise with big ace and fold for a reraise on my CB - end result successfully burn some of the profits from 2/5 at 1/2.
Safe travels.

Sorry--I keep meaning to explore why that email address is down, and then forget.
ReplyDeleteThe link just goes to the tourney schedule. Nothing special about it that I can see at a glance.
Tell us more, GolfPro.
