Ballin' and Shot Callin'...

Ballin' and Shot Callin'...

11/16/10

Sunday was great the parlay hit, albeit a 2 teamer. But, I'm
3 for 3 on the 2 team picks, I got to stick to those. At
least I'm up for the Football Season. Slow and low, at ease
the tempo. Plus final tabling a poker tourney at Caesars
was pretty saucy. I'm still keeping up my 23% cash ratio
on the poker tourneys, lol...Just need to hit the big first
again, hehe...I should heed my word and just play the $1K'ers
at the Bell each Saturday, if the cash ratio holds out, I
should be retired by now, damn...

Sign Of The Times...

Sign Of The Times...

9/30/10

It really sucks to see how impersonal business decisions at
the corporate level affects people close to you. I guess it's
a numbers game, as are most things in life. Life is a race of
checks and balances. Percentages and edges. Operating cost
ratio's and overhead.

I guess you shouldn't get complacent with your station in life
and always strive for something higher. Don't be dependent on
what others can do for you, be dependent on your self. Always
have a back up plan or have "outs" as we poker grinders say.

It's the American way - we're predators, we go where the most
food is...simple. The hustle, master it...The third re-raise is
most likely pocket Aces or Kings, fold if you don't got em'...

Going Back to LV...

9/20/10

Going Back to LV...

Man, these quick trips to Cali, are too short. Was back in SD
over the weekend for Deb and Dave's 5th Wedding Anniversary.
Flew out Friday night after work and drove back in with the
new toy.

It's crazy how time flies. It seemed like last week, we were
partying tourists in LV for the bachelor party, kickin' it
in Manila before they had their 2 beautiful daughters and fast
forward to receding hairlines, lol...

Anyway, it's been a minute since I wrote in my blog. Hmmmm,
dunno' why it's been that long. I have to make it a point again
to write more. It's good therapy, hehe...

See ya on the felt or the track (the new toy is kinda' Fast and
Furious)...

Game Is On...

4/17/10

Game Is On...

3 final tables within 8 days, I'm not running bad on
the green felt (Well, today was 2 spots away from the
final table - 12th out of 75, and busting out with
pocket Kings against Ace/Nine OS - luckily my buddy
Ed split 50% equity for the tourney and he busted out
in 7th with pocket Queens against Ace/Jack Suited.

So we got our money back. I'm ok with that, ya know.
As in life, breaking even (especially these days) on
the felt landscape of poker can be just as fine.

We just need to squeeze out a little bit of luck or
a dose of not being "outlucked", when the best hand
goes in. I complained just a little bit, but hey I've
put bad beats on other folks in the past.

I just know that my game is on, hehe...

Furious, But Not That Fast...

3/4/10

Furious, But Not That Fast...

I'm taking the plunge...

After all these months of trying to find Taylor's
long lost twin (my old Jeep Cherokee) - I am going
to start modding up the SX4 Sport.

Just purchased some H&R lowering springs, to get
installed next week. Probably pick up a drop in
K&N Air filter, to start off...

Need some juice on the streets of Vegas, hehe...

Why did I get rid of Taylor, gosh...
