I'll post my results for yesterday in a bit but for now I'd like to show you a bit of what I did out here in Idaho today.
My oldest daughter, Teila, and I went on a ride up into the mountains with some friends to a little town named Idaho City. They were having a Cowboy Quick Draw contest and we thought it'd be fun to go watch. There all kinds of folks all dressed up in Old West garb. Sixguns on their hips. Just havin' fun and pretending to be gunfighters for a day. And they were all very nice to us.

These pics pretty much explain themselves. Hope you like 'em. Teila was the photographer. I think she did a fairly decent job for a kid and not being able to get an angle from the front at all.

This kind of fold is probably 2nd nature to some of you good players but I hardly EVER fold this hand. But when the second raise came I just couldn't justify the call. I actually felt 'somewhat' like a poker player again after this one was over.

So now I'm all feelin like a poker player again and this happens. This is very discouraging for someone who is having a hard time recently. I mean the Odds Gods really have it in for me I think. This kind of thing has just happened WAY to many times to me lately.

OK, now that I've done all my complaining, I will state that I actually did have a decent session at Party tonight to go along with a very small profit at 1 table during lunch. I did manage to win back my entire stack plus a bit at the table where I lost with my Aces. Unfortunately it all came from other folks instead of that dickweed who stacked me on the river with KQo. I ended up winning on all 5 of my tables tonight which was a nice change and I cleared about 1/3 of the bonus.
Tomorrow, Saturday, I'm going on a big biker run for charity that is supposed to have like 200 bikes in it. That should be quite an experience as I have only ever seen a group that large one other time and I wasn't in it. Should be fun. I'll post some pics afterwards.

Seb - that AA hand....its likely if you made a real raise PF, most dickweeds arent calling with KQo...the PF minraise gives away your hand and gets no one to fold...

thats true from a certain perspective dude...

but you have to realize, 95% of online pokerdonks are not as knowledgeable as you or anyone that regularly reads forums and studies the game. they see KQ, they think its a great hand - think back to when you first started, I thought that way also....they hit TP, they're ready to get it all in because thats what they saw phil ivey do on poker superstars 3 with huge blinds and an m of 4. they just dont understand the game. 89% of the time you'll win, in the long run it evens out...

Well, today was pretty fun. I went on a charity ride sponsored by Jack Daniels and a local bar. There were about 100 bikes but we rode in many groups so we weren't all 100 pulling into the parking lots of the bars we stopped at to get our entry envelopes stamped. Was definitely a different experience for me. I saw MANY cool bikes and MANY women wearing clothes they just should NOT be legally allowed to wear! There were nice lookin women too but they arent as much fun to talk about as the women with guts hangin out from under there skin tight vests with their belly buttons pierced. (at least I think it was their belly buttons)
OMG Who let's there spouse out of the house looking the way some of these women looked? I mean flaunt it if you got it for sure but if you got too much of it........I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
At least the bikes were cool.
Got kinda sick after eating the food they served at the bar for us when we got back so I came home and opened up 4 NL100 tables at Party to knock out some of that bonus and made a nice tidy $280 in about 45 minutes. I think that puts me back above zero for the month! WOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!!
Will have to check the stats below and on the first page to be sure of that though.

After that I sweat MVP in a tourney while he made the final table. WTG bub.

Well, today was kind of a "MEH" day as my whiny friend MVP would call it.
Lost $4.75 playing, made $100 in bonus, and gave away $20 to the wife so she could play real money penny tables at UB where she has always enjoyed playin with play chips before. Not much of a Mothers Day present I know but it's what she wanted in addition to the cell phone I finally got her and taking her to lunch and a movie. All in all either a +76 day or a +96 day depending on how you count it. A win is a win I guess.

Finished off the Party $100 bonus. Best I've done there in a long time. Overall I made about $500 including the bonus I believe but most importantly it got me back in the black for the month!!!!!!
