My First Mookie

I played in my first Mookie tonight on Full Tilt. slb159 staked me for the thing. I finished 26th out of 71. I heard I won some points for the blogger leader board which sounds like fun. Didn't win any money though. I'll have to play in the next one now, heh. I did have the satisfaction of busting out Waffles though. It was folded to me on the button and I held 44. I raise 3x bb, small blind folds and Waffles pushes his short stack all in. It's a coin flip most likely so I call. If I lose I still have a manageable stack. He shows Q6 and my sailboats hold up. I can't wait to read how I played that like a donkey in his blog tomorrow :)

I thought of something recently. When on a flush draw, you figure you have 9 outs so you calculate pot odds based on that figure. But realistically wouldn't you agree that the odds of a player or players folding at least one of the suits you need pre flop to be high? I think one would have 8 outs or less a reasonable percentage of the time. Mind you 8 outs isn't that much worse than 9, but 7 or 6 outs is significantly different. So why calculate 9 outs every time when considering pot odds? Something to think about...

Random Ramblings

I'm gonna ramble....a one two three four..

Subject: Bad Beats



Dear PokerGods,



Please even out the bad beat to suck out ratio because it's kinda pissing me off at the moment. I have gotten a few suckouts but the bad beats have been overly gay. I have total faith in your judgement.



Thank you,

Gordogg





I was going to post hand histories but can't copy and paste on here without it being all clumped together and i'm not manually fixing it.



Tabasco sauce and beer....



Have you ever tried a few drops of tabasco sauce in your beer? It is pretty damn good for a change of pace. I was at a bar once a few years ago and saw this old dude, must've been 70 at least, he had a fuckin leather tabasco sauce holster around his waist. I decided to try it myself and it's not bad at all. I don't do it all the time but especially if you have some shit beer like Steel Reserve etc.. its a good idea to spice it up with tabasco. Take that Rachel Ray.



Public Restrooms....

OK, I like to drink. The thing is when you like to drink as much as I do, there are reprecussions. Such as shitting more than humanly necessary. I have a full time job at a hardware store. I spend time shitting in the public restroom more than the average human. Something I've noticed is that some men like to moan as if they are receiving the blow job of their life when they take a piss. I'll be sitting in the shitter and they don't know I'm in the room so they moan like it's fucking a glory hole urinal. For the record, I have never moaned while taking a piss. The most i've done is the "ahhhh" sound that's it. I've asked friends and they have never done it either. But some dudes i overhear are like "mmmm, oh shit, ahhhh"" a second or two passes t hen "ohhh god, ahhh jessus ahhhhhh". I can't help but laugh. WTF is that all ab


Ok that's all for now, peace.
