Gheyness Tuesday.

1. Lunch - gays - order eggplant
parm, believing it to be egglplant and chicken , but its
just eggplant. $14 for eggplant parm, bull! Order another
meal on my way back.

Wednesday.

1. Beach volleyball - we play pretty well, slow
down at the end, lose in the final set. dang.

2. Post work drinks - mansions, sometimes i
dont think ppl listen to me, anyway, i
over-reacted, but i refused to drink there.
Its underground, very empty, but the worst
thing is the flashing lights and the pokies.
Next time they will probably drink at KKK
head quarters, another place where im
unlikely to have a beer.

3. Indoor soccer - depleted team, stupid
referee (called a goal in after hitting
the post twice), niggling team, we lose
our first game.

4. Poker chs - out first hand ! Wat a joke. A
$5 game unfortunately is the equivalent to playing
table tennis with the bat in your mouth. Imagine
if we did that, no one would play? At least
that would be in funny. But in poker
playing ppl like to that kind of game. Here is
the hand. I raise to 100 (blinds 25) - chad
thinks about it and calls the bet. I feel hes got
nothing good but hes hoping to get lucky. 5%
of your stack prolly fair enuff.

Flop comes 3d-2d-5d, he checks i bet
150, he comes over the top for 800. Ok, this
is the first part of stupidity. Currently
there is 375 in the pot, so a bet of 800 is
ridiculous. Theres nothing wrong with over
betting but 500 perhaps, 800 is way too much.
Then I re-raise all in, believing his hand contains
no diamonds and he would have a tough call.
He instantaneously calls. Flipping
A-4 off suit no diamonds. Im in trouble and
I lose. I have no qualms about the call, its
just not an instaneous call? I mean A-4 off suit,
is drawing dead, to a made flush. And i would
have bet the hand exactly the same if i had
a made flush, even if i had the AK of diamonds.
Coz he could have 2 pair/set, and y let him try
and out draw me, after that first bet. A $5 tourney
brings out $5 plays, im happy to play $5 tourney
but does it have to be ridiculous? Also the call with A-4,
i ve raised in early position, and a-4 is a hand
thats easily dominated, and is much more likely to get
you in trouble.

Negreanu had a similar hand
in the tournament of champions where he made
a slight over bet of the pot(1/2 his chips),
on a 7-6-5 hand with two pair, and lederer came over the top
with his king high flush, and negreanu thought
about it and folded. The emphasis is on the
THINKING. Ihink and make a call, dont just look
at your cards and go, ive got a straight u
might have anything, i could be drawing dead,
wat the hell ?!

Sorry but ppl who say the buy in doesnt affect the
game are in lala land, two weeks ago he folds AK,
this week he calls A-4, makes a massive over bet and
calls straight away possibly drawing dead, hmmmm.

Im willing to admit I shouldnt be fussy about
the quality of games, but for someone who plays often
and wants to play in the june event, id hope
for more! We should be helping each other by playing
at a decent standrad :)  ¶ 5:35 PM
