hmmm, hmmm, good

i'm not trying to be like grubby and chronicle my daily gastronomical partakings, but i just have to say that i had a $6 burger from carl's jr. and it was pretty f*cking delicious.

i'm not normally a burger man, but i gave blood this morning and rationalized that i needed some beef to replenish my lost iron. carl's jr. also happened to be by the bank, where i needed to go to get my bank roll for VEGAS!!!!

played a little .25/.50 on ub last night. basically treaded water. i hate sitting down at a game and then having everybody leave the table. i know it's not my body odor or excessive flatulence that's driving them away since it is online. best i can figure is that the fishes just don't like playing at a table where people don't stay in for more than 50% of the flops and actually throw in a position raise some times. i mean people, if you leave the table and go to another i'm just going to follow your play-any-two-card ass because i have you pegged. just one hand from last night.

hand one: things that make you say "huh?"

» i'm not happy that 6 are going to see the flop and i'm even less thrilled that there's an ace on the board. maybe i should have bet here since i am the pre-flop raiser. i think the 5s' bet smells like a postion bet.

» um? 9Jo? did i miss something here? and i was thinking i was behind from the flop. i'll give this guy credit for the bet on the flop and even the raise on the turn, but betting and then calling my raise on the river? all i have to say is "thank you."

tnp. sounds like we're going to play a little sit-n-go format tonight. should be fun.
