Challenge and other trivialities
SuperGirl has been watching me ... carefully. She sees that I'm arriving to bed later and later. She's not SuperGirl for nothing - her supersenses tell her that I'm neck-high in the pursuit of Poker glory, whereas RegularGirl would suspect a covert cultivation of an obsession with porn.
In the last few days, there's been little talk about gains and losses; she's asked how I've been doing in placement terms, knowing that the lower the number the better the result. What she's been thinking is that finishing 20th for example, is still somewhat profitable; she's under this mis-impression because when we watch archived TIVO copies of the WSOP, she sees people finishing in similar positions doing so with handsome rewards.
I told her last night that I'm stuck over $500 investing in tournament entries and rebuys. Though I'm still "up" from B&M and online ring games, the "what-have-you-won-for-me-lately" creed has insiduously crept into effect. SuperGirl, wearing the beautifully fitted Lucky jeans heretofore financed by ring game mastery long forgotten, issues the following edict:
I've got lots of work ahead of me -- including sharing some of these thoughts:
After considerable thought, and some blog insight courtesy of HDouble (aka CardSpeak), I think my early position over-the-top re-raise (all-in) with wired 6's against pocket Q's was a poor decision. I think he pretty much sums it up perfectly with:
Lottery
Off-Poker topic, though in the gambling realm of discussion, my hopes, along with those of other like minded monkeys here at the factory of dread, are pinned on the one-outter call of a lifetime, hoping that we can collectively touch the hand of Bishamon, and win over 100 million dollars.
Small Stakes
From the "anything is possible" department, there is at least one guy dispelling the myth that the 2-4 H/E game is unbeatable -- I suppose his familiarity with 9-2 offsuit doesn't hurt!
Rants
Can anyone please offer a reasonable explanation to this "Coalition of the Automated"? It's really phenomenal that so many of America's businesses can unite is such stoic and consistent synthesis to change incoming call menu items at intervals, incredibly, aligned with my particular need to call! I'll just resign it to twighlight zone fodder, and instead continue to pray that dialing zero maintains a direct connection to a non-outsourced operator.
Think the Phoenix area is expensive for real estate? Think again.

"I'm going to Florida (for SuperBusiness). I'll be back Friday. If you can double your online balance, or win a tournament that nets you more than the cost of my belt, I will let you post a full picture of me wearing -- or not wearing -- anything you choose, provided your winnings include the subsidization and photo inclusion of these.Well, h-o-l-y-s-h-i-t. SuperGirl might as well have invoked the Jedi ghost of Vince Lombardi with that challenge, 'cause after that pronouncement, I was all business. We checked the online balance and sealed the deal in SuperGirl fashion -- a kiss, and a left handed pinky shake.

OK, you can read this quick before you get back to grinding immediately...
Yes, the Coalition of the Automated sucks, but what sucks worse is that they haven't chosen to do so in a uniform fashion. If "#" got me to the beep and "0" got me to an operator no matter in whose phone queue I was stuck, I'd be a happy man.
Back to work Stef. Don't disappoint.
Yeah, what he said.
Chop chop. Get to grinding...
