Quickie lang

I know I know ... haven't blogged for a while. So trying to make that up by writing a quick one. Let's do a top 5 things that happened during the time of my last post until now.

1. Played the $100K Guaranteed at Cake last Monday. Holiday so it gave me the opportunity to use the ticket. Should have stayed in bed as I busted out early when my pocket KKs faced the donkey god who played A10 suited and who then proceeded to luckbox the flush. I did make a huge mistake here as I had an opportunity to fold after the turn but I was too damn sleepy at 5AM and was not in the correct mindset. Heheh ... excuses excuses.

2. Also in the same time frame, played the $50K Guaranteed at Pokerstars and I did manage to ITM this one. Unfortunately, I was short stacked once we reached the money, and I busted out shortly thereafter when I made an all-in bluff in the big blind with K8 with 2 limpers in front. SB called with A9.

3. Couldn't resist a great deal that was offered to me on an XBox 360. Some guy won it in an office raffle and just wanted to convert it to cash. So I basically got it at almost 40% off retail. GTA IV, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4, Karaoke Revolution. Enough said.

4. Just came from a 4 day trip to Hongkong with the wife and kids. Did the usual things there, HK Disneyland, Ocean Park and Shopping. And just to reiterate again why I play poker. All our expenses for the trip were sponsored by the Equus africanus asinus over at Cake, Pokerstars and Full Tilt. Thanks again guys. Sa uulitin. (click the link if you don't undertstand latin)

5. Finally, will be going to my favorite beach hang out this holy week so I might not be able to play any poker. In the years past, I would usually cram a lot of tournaments during the holy week holiday. But this year, my cousin got the early booking. So off to the beach we go. I'm definitely looking forward to the down time. The HK trip was supposed to be a vacation but with the kids in tow. It was more hectic than anything else. Now if I can just resist the urge to bring the laptop and the Smart Bro modem. =)

And with that I end another edition of Poking Fun at Poker. Seeya next time!
