RC was a bust last night, and i leaked more money all over the cash tables at FT so I'll have to reload some loot to play the final Big Game on Sunday. Pokerstars was another story, I watched Waffles own 1/2 Stud Hi, so after I busted out of a $15 75 token frenzy I took a seat at another 1/2 table. A few hours later im up to $130 from $50, and I still have a $50 bonus on the way too. Not bad.
Lost as Hoy put it was kind of a downer. I think its really just because there was no REALLY big cliffhanger last year when we got our first "flash-foward". It was new and different and gave us a look at the future. This episode was juat another one of those neccesities. I personally think Lost are fans are going to dwindle over the final 2 years because a majority of these episodes are going to be filler with few actual blockbuster episodes (Desmond's episode) than in the past. Just remember folks only one more season ending cliffhanger left before the series finale in 2010.
Tonight is a monthly poker game at an AIPS player house. Usually I go with Unimpressed, but because he got back from a biz meeting in WI yesterday, hes opting out for the fam tonight, good call. I'm 2 for 2 in tourneys at this guy's house, plus money from cash games. Any profit from here is going right to full tilt.
Have a good weekend everyone, see you on Monday.

I dont even think if I finagled a win in the RC tonight would I bump to 1st in points for the month....I really needed that Mookie last night.

"And So It Goes" - Billy Joel
It was a bad call, theres just no other way to justify it. My gut said he wasn't as good as he was representing, but I just couldn't fold.
So I was bounced in 9th place last night at the Mook, ending what was turning out to be a dream run at a possible shot for the TOC seat. The hand in question played out like this:
Blinds 1200/600 125 ante (i think thats right).
Villian in late EP raises to 4200. Folds around to me in the BB where I have 8-8. I could have played this soft and just called the raise, but I hate being OOP and having no idea how strong someone else's hand is. So I pop it back up to 16k. I think so far everything I did was ok, but then he pushed.... I'm not pot committed by any means, hes shown agression twice which would be a good indicator of at worst A-K, A-Qs. In fact, my only chance is that he has an unpaired Ace. So why did I call? Is it because I play to win? Calling off my stack here in front of such aggression is a horrible play, but my gut keeps saying "call, call". So I did, and the Villian flips up A-10o... It didnt matter really, He could have A-2o and he still gets that A on the flop. The 10 on the River didnt help anything either.
And so my awesome Mookie run came to an end, and most likely my shot at a seat. Tonight is PLO which I suck at, and Sunday is the big game that I cant afford due to my recent cash game luck. So gl to all of you that are in, and put those WSOP prizes to good use!
While the Mook was going on last night, Buddy Dank and IT were celebrating 1 year of Poker Radio. Buddy got drunk with a box o wine and we all watched hilariously on hsi web cam as he ravished the box. At one point I was paying more attention to this than the actual Mookie (maybe Karma?) until the J-J hand then I turned the radio off and focused. That was the funniest stuff I have seen in a long time, but the shout box made the night. I will admit to being the following people: High School Girls, Germany, Buddy's Mic, Franzia (the original!), Rick Astley and many more that I can't remember. Thanks for the funny stuff guys, and I hope someone youtubes his guitar performance.
Non-poker schtuff. As of Friday night Alissa and I will be officially moved out of our Condo and liveing with her rents until the house we bought is ready. We decided to hit the road a little sooner than we planned due to receiving a letter from the condo association that they "Received several complaints of our dogs barking". Now thats what dogs do, they bark. And this only occurs during the weekdays during the day, not late at night, not early in the morning, during the day when most normal people are at work. Since the association is stupid and obviously forgot we are on the way out and they send a pointless letter about how we can get fined $25 for each occurance, we decided to pack it up early. Needless to say I'm glad to be getting the hell out of there.
Lost 2 hour season finale tonight, and the RC. Be there or be rectangular in nature.

Mid-day musings
I know I answered it in the comments, but here ya go Riggs.
I was born and raised in Bethlehem, until I was 22 when I moved to Texas for a year, then I came to CT where I ended up. Man its been over 5 years now since I came here.
For all the PA boys: I went to UPITT and majored in Theatre with a minor in Philosophy, that lasted a year until they uh couldnt get me housing and by the time they told me this it was like July so all the apartments were booked solid.
I took a semester off and went to East Stroudsburg University where I majored in Radio Broadcasting (which I loved!) that lasted a semester before I moved to TX.
My favorite bar that I havent been in to in years is Rookies in Allentown, off of Tilghman street. Starting when I was 16 I went there every Tuesday for all you can eat wings and NTN trivia. Still have the best wings I have ever tasted if you get a chance to stop by there, it is owned by Pat Toomey a former PA rep (no idea if he is still in office).
And what Bethlehem is known for most (besides being "The Christmas City") is Musikfest, I havent been there since...'01? I use to volunteer at that thing every year. Nothing like legal public drunkiness!
I stop back now and then to visit my parents, bro, or my sis and my niece.

"Dominic the Christmas Donkey" - Some Italian Guy
Whats weird is back in Bethlehem, PA where I was born and raised (on the playgrounds is where I spent most of days...)I use to listen to the all-day Christmas songs played on B104 and I never ever heard the Dominc song. Then I move to CT, AKA little Italy, and its like some famous song fron the 50s or whatever.
Anyway thanks to Julius Goat for the new FT avatar the guy is a master at his craft, and special thanks to Bayne who helped him think of the site.
So I've been replaying last nights exit in my head, and I feel I gave up. I don't know why, I was not even close to being out of it, but I threw it away anyway.
Since FT has not been kind to my cash playing the last few weeks, I headed over to pokerstars and did a 6.50 HORSE tourney. I took that puppy down, for $24 in first. Need to play more HORSE tourneys...
Mookster tonight, and I promise to have my head back on straight and play smart. Its weird that the Hoy has been my best tourney the whole BBT, I never thought Id be good at 6 Max.
3 Chances left to get that coveted TOC seat...back against the wall, 9th inning 2 outs, down by 1...
