Power Out

Power’s out now, running on generators. Gonna shut the computer down, don’t want to hog the watts from the other tenants (we may need these tom).

Take care people. Good luck.

Alone With Windy Days

My SO is out of town due to business, and the winds are startin’ to pick up to to the coming winds. She left Hanachi-e with me, so I’m also a cat-sitter for a longer period of time than I’m used to.

After some more re-buys at Full Tilt Poker .net, I’m managing to get [...]

Downfall on Tilt, Comeback on Jack

Since I don’t feel so attached to my Full Tilt Poker .net game, I use it primarily as my experimentation account. I tend to play loose there, and I practice being aggressive. I got a lot more practicing to do, I lost everything there, and I just had another re-buy.

It almost seemed that [...]

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

We watched “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” last night. If you’re easily offended, don’t watch it. I watch South Park and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, but Borat… well… it can get uglier than both.

It has it’s funny moments, but I’m warning you, its very very [...]

Bad Beat

Now, this is a double meaning. For one, I lost quite a bit of play money at Triplejack, and I have yet to recover the bulk of what I lost. I’m having a harder time with the players in the “Zen of Poker” lounge, one because there I get unlucky enough to run [...]

Casino Royale

New Bond film, so it had to be seen. There’s quite a buzz with die-hard bond fans about having Daniel Craig play James Bond, and given his stronger features than the past Bonds, it would be interesting what his take on the character will be.

My SO, me, and a friend [...]

Where Hanachi-e Takes a Bath

I’d just like to mention which stall we take Hanachi-e for her baths in Tiendesitas (as mentioned in a previous post). The stall is called “Heavenly Blue”.

Day With Parents

I thought my dad would love the “Flags of our Fathers” movie, and I thought he’d like the beer at Grappa’s too, so I thought we’d have a father/son thing. He loved the movie, and he liked the beer. My dad called my mom up while we were at Grappa’s, so we ended [...]

Learning to Transcend the Crawl

I tried to get back my max play money in Triplejack Poker, but I was just a few hundred dollars away. Still, I made a careful and calculated comeback. I noticed that aside from Filipino’s, the players are mostly Aussies. It’s probably because of the time-zone.

I think that tight play is good [...]

The Balance of Risk vs Hard Labor

Yesterday was not a good poker day. I lost 25% of my play money. The reason? I got carried away by the high pots.

Like I said, I don’t play roulette, but sometimes the pot gets so big the risk seems acceptable. Of course, everything is just chance then, so I ended [...]
