Cash game at my place this weekend



Had a decent time over the weekend. The main table was $.25-.25 and we had $1-1 going in the dining room. World's Greatest Dad packed them in for some donkalicious action. I guess there were some monster pots.

I ended up losing $45 at the kids table. caprice did OK for her first time, although she lost $30 on the night. She mostly folded after calling and then getting raised (she needs to learn that raises don't always mean someone has a better hand), but she did win a few pots, one with AA, which was nice. She folded a nut flush to a full house, but she really should have called that one (the bet was small, but I'm not sure she knew she had the flush. I was sure to let he know that straights and flushes are the bread and butter of the winning players' game.) Anyway, she was able to sit in for quite a while. She'll get better for sure.

I got sucked out by Silent Dave when I shoved with AK after I hit a pair. He hit his set of 7's on the river. I gave Jimmy Bunch a couple pots after making some bad calls, and another where he had me outkicked.

We ended up playing until just after 4am. I made some killer kielbasa/cabbage/noodles and Caprice made a lemon and chocolate chip cake that was freaking awesome.

Went to see Raegen (Caprice's oldest daughter) in her school play on Saturday. The play sucked but she did a great job. I was in drama in HS, it was a lot of fun.

Sunday it got over 80 degrees so I cleaned up the Jeep, washed the dog (who subsequently went outside and rolled in dirt), and then we racked up the bikes for a ride. We headed into Oberlin on the bike trail, had some lunch, and rode back. You can see out track here. Caprice has a nice new bike that should do well for her. She needs some accessories yet but she did great for a first ride, doing 16 miles.

Guess who's back!

Sorry, I've been busy. I'm gonna start posting again here after my longest hiatus ever. Poker is still up and down, more up lately. Work is going pretty well. Caprice and I are still doing great. Looks like we'll be shacking up in a few months. I dumped my iPhone for an HTC Evo, which is freaking sweet and I'm saving $40-ish a month. So much more you can do with them. Sold my Iphone for $285 with all the accessories. I'm looking at buying a used iPad 1st generation for playing with around the house.

My grandfather passed away early last month, that sucked. He had a tough few weeks and finally called it quits. Not bad for 97 years old. I'll miss him. I want to go just like that. He basically just closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

Caprice got a bike over the past weekend. Looking forward to some rides. I got a rack for the Jeep. I'm still trying to sell the Eclipse. Got it all cleaned up and someone is looking at it tonight. Fingers crossed. caprice is going to try to bike the Pedal to the Point event with us. She should be fine with some regular exercise. We'll put in a few 30+ milers.

The fucking weather has sucked ass! Longest winter in history. We've only had like 2 days over 60 and one of them it rained like a mother.

Took Caprice and her oldest daughter to the gun range a couple weeks ago, and they loved it. That was Caprice's 2nd trip. If she wants to take a CCW course, I'd buy her a carry piece. I might give her my LCP and get a Sig P238 for myself. I still carry the XD most of all but need something small for summer.

Things I want to do this summer, since I still have 4 weeks vacation to burn before July...
* Go camping over a 3 or 4-day weekend.
* Weekend trip to Motor City (I just heard the bad beat jackpot is like $400k)
* Florida with Caprice (and maybe her kids) I'm working on getting her to move there :)
* Shoot my AR15 with Caprice and her kids. They'll love it.
* Misc 3-day weekend trips

...just to name a few.

Ok, I'll check back ASAP.
