Pokerish Weekend
This weekend had a lot of activity in it, and a lot of poker intermingled. I'll try to just give a chronological walk through and see if any fun stories pop up.
Friday night started with me logging into FCP and seeing Daniel N. announce a private tournament on Full Contact Poker's poker room. The evening was actually open for me, so I jumped on, deposited money via Neteller, and was up and running in no time. It was No Limit Turbo, which basically means I had zero chance. I am bad enough at a regular speed no limit tournament. Still it was fun, and Dan was out even before me, which was pretty funny. I was a total donkey however, not good representation to FCP of me having any skills whatsoever.
After that I played a quick 1/2 session and was down $50 in a heartbeat. I shall include now the rant that will go on during this whole weekend:
Full Contact Poker hates me. During this weekend I have gotten nine sets, eight of which lost, two of them to set over set situations, the rest where someone got a straight or flush. Two full houses lost to four of a kind. Only two of my premium hands stood up all weekend that I can remember (AKo got me a full house which DID hold up, and AJs got me the nut flush on the turn). So it was a horrible run of getting tons of great cards, but none of them holding up, which was a recipe for disaster. Overall I am down about 20 Big Bets on FCP. Its not a horrible amount, but the site is just frustrating me to no end.
Saturday we went shopping, and I picked up a nice necklace and earring set for the wife as a bday present while we were separated. I rarely buy her anything truly expensive for gifts, so thought it was about time. It was way above budget, but I'm going to have to count on my Neteller card to carry me through January anyways.. :)
Then we went to her X-mas party, which is never too thrilling to me. But she had a great time between showing off her jewelry, which I gave her to go with her formal dress, and dancing the night away. I got to see Jill, who I used to work with at my previous job. Hadn't seen her in two years, but she was her same self and fun to hang out with, although it looks like age is starting to finally catch up with her, as she is not the young curvaceous hottie she used to be in my memory banks.
Sunday was more shopping, and I'm now done with everyone except my grandfather, who I can not figure out anything for. Bah. Then we went to my wife's birthday party at her father's house, which was much more tranquil than expected, as half the people did not show for differing reasons, mainly various illnesses. Ah well. This will also serve as a reminder to everyone that I am NOT pub pokering Wednesday, as that is the wife's actual birthday. Maybe we'll do Ninja and invite a couple of people.. lemme ask her..
That's about it for the weekend. Today I am back into work mode, for normal work and for Keller's site, trying to plan shirts and other promo material for the launch. Wheeeee.
Have a good day all!
