Poker Night
Posted on February 9, 2005 by Brian under Poker.
Tonight’s poker night and I just received a call from Jason wanting to know if I was coming to the early game or the late game. I told him I would be there at 10 but I would be alone. He wanted to know why Ching wasn’t coming? I told him she had an exam to study for. He said “Ok, see you both at 10.”
Here’s why, several times now Ching has stated that she was not going to come to poker, then at the last min she changed her mind and came to poker. She is adamant that she is not coming this time, I guess we’ll see!

Leave the design alone!

For the record I’m not doing much redecorating here. I’m going to use one of the standard templates because, frankly, I just don’t have the time to be dicking with this shit. I have to focus on my game! Besides, it’s the content that matters. Who cares about the stupid background?
BTW, congrats to Jason! He’s on fire this week! The dude won $950 at a poker tourney yesterday and he’s still feeling pretty giddy. I can’t say I blame him. I’d be giddy too.
Corey didn’t do too shabby either. At the same tourney, he placed fifth and took $200 away. Two of our buddies at the final table. I must say, “the posse” was well-represented that day.
My only question is, why weren’t we invited to this thing?

I figured that I will post this because Jason (who is currently #57 right behind me) is about to over take me! At least, this way, I’ll have proof that I out-ranked him at one point! LOL!

My gambling addiction is ruining my life!!
ARRRGGHH!
Skipping class last night to play the invite-only poker tourney at Heroes was the dumbest idea ever! I was no where near the money! I should never have skipped class! Ugh.

All Hail Ching
Posted on January 21, 2005 by Ching under Poker.
Bow before me for I am a poker goddess!
Dudes!! You won’t believe this!! I had two $5K chips left going into the final table… I was freakin’ short-stacked.. The odds were completely against me… And I took first place!! Even I couldn’t believe it! I am totally on fire this week.. I should go buy a lottery ticket!!
The “I wanna go home” lucky saying has just been surpassed by the “I gotta go pee” lucky saying. Ever since I realized that I had to go pee really bad and I kept going all in, all the cards kept going my way and I kept doubling and tripling up. It was insane.
The dude to my right who eventually took third place even exclaimed, “I think your best characteristic right now is your bladder.” To which his buddies who were huddled watching promptly made fun of him for.. And then I heard the “beautiful bladder” joke the rest of the time.
Finally, dude gets knocked out and it’s heads up. I had a three to one chip lead, but the guy wanted to cut a deal. He proposed that we split the prize money $35 to him and $40 to me. I had to go pee really bad but I wanted my points and I wanted first place bragging rights.
He’s like, “You can take first place and I’ll take second and we split the money.”
“Can we do that?” I asked Brian (not Brian, my husband, but rather Brian, the tournament director).
He’s like, “Sure whatever you guys want to do.”
I was about ready to explode, so I agreed. In reality though, with all the chips I had and with the luck I’ve had that night, I could’ve taken him for sure. He better be grateful for my $10 donation to his pocketbook. Ha! Ha! Ha!
So far this week I have won two tickets to a Wichita Thunder hockey game, $10 gift certificate to Whiskey Creek (which incidentally we are using on Sunday), $40 for taking first place at the Dill’s during our third session on Saturday night (more like Sunday morning because this was around 4 AM), $75 for taking first place at Jason’s during first session of our regular Tuesday game, silly ass points for taking 12th place during second session at Heroes last night, more stupid points for taking 9th during first session at The Loft earlier this evening and then $40 (it would’ve been $50 but I cut a deal with the other guy because my bladder was about to explode) for taking first place during the second session at The Loft just now.
I’m starting to reconsider my day job. What if I could be the next Annie Duke? That would totally rock!
