rather be lucky than good 2010-10-19 - 11:36 a.m. Came close to breaking even yesterday but I would have had a winning day if I had not flopped a set of Kings on a two diamond board. My opponent calls with nothing except a small pair and a two straight, picks up a gutshot on the turn, and, of course, rivers the final card. Sigh. Don't think it's because I slow-played this calling station, either. Having seen him in action before, I bet full pot on the flop (you know, the street where he had nothing) and, again, full pot on the turn. Sigh and sigh again. And where did I see him in action before? Well, since it was a "must move" day, and IMOM and I were forced to start together on the same "must move" table, I was there to witness the awful scene when IMOM raises his KK to $20, this calling station guy 3-bets to $60, and now IMOM shoves all-in for $450 more. The guy actually calls the shove, assuming IMOM can only make this play with AK, I guess. He holds TT. You already know what card fell on the river...yes the terrible T ♦. You'd think that this over-shove only gets called by AA and the other pair of KK, but you'd think wrong against some of these clownfish. Met D. for dinner with the IMOM. I got dressed up and had IMOM take some photos of me, since my mother has asked for photos, but I doubt they will come out any better than any other photo of me has come out over all these years and decades. I asked him to take one of the photos in our booth at Shanghai Lily's and one of the staff members hurried over to take a photo of the two of us together. "I can take another one of you two sitting closer," he suggested. No, that's OK, but thanks anyhow! I tried a Feng Shui martini which is basically an Apple Martini with a splash of Midori. Spring rolls, won ton soup, drunken chicken, chili prawns (only mildly spiced, though), tangerine beef. The tangerine beef is still my favorite. But, speaking of citrus, for breakfast I have just eaten the last of the satsumas that I packed for this trip. An individual has informed me that my putative Youngite is not Youngite but he didn't say what it might actually be. I need to get it tested under shortwave UV to see if it flouresces. If it does...it's Youngite. To be honest, I'm already convinced that it's Youngite, but I can always be un-convinced. Just give me evidence! In the News: From nola.com: Nearing the six-month mark after the Deepwater Horizon explosion, the federal government's top responders to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill are reporting on-the-water findings that couldn't have been imagined at the height of the crisis four months ago: very little recoverable oil still in the water or on the bottom, barely even trace amounts of dispersant chemicals and no samples of contaminated seafood in open water or in the marshes. I'm absolutely amazed. As I posted a week or so ago, we got from Oilmaggedon to fighting about how many Sulphur-Bellied Flycatchers dance on the head of a pin at Sureway Woods in just a few short months. Who believed that the Gulf had such recuperative powers? Sometimes, if life was a movie, it would be a pretty corny one. So I guess I better get out there and win one for the Gipper. Although, since I believe the Gipper was the Anti-Christ, maybe I better try to win one for the good guys today. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
