First time in a while

Man, this is the first poker related post in a long time. I played a little on FT tonight. I had not been playing much NLHE lately. Been doing mostly mixed games. So, I decided to play some NLHE tonight. I did OK. Played the low limits. I busted out 11th in a 90 man S & G. It was a tough hand.

I was in the SB with AcQc. I was against one player from the cut off. I just barely had him covered. Flop was nice:

Ad 10c 6c

I was ready to take out the cut off. I raised, hoping for a RR and got it. I pushed and he insta-called. Once he insta-called I knew I would need a club or a Q. I was right. He had AK. I missed and was left with barely enough to cover the ante. Doubled up a couple times...but the end was near.

Played a 9 man S & G as well. Got down to heads up with the chip lead (10,000 to 3,000). The guy raised from the button and I re-raised with KQ. He pushed over the top of me. I called and he showed K3. Ship it...right? Well except that the flop was K 3 4. Turn 3. I was drawing dead.

So now it's 6K vs my 7K. Same thing happened later too. Got him to put his money in with A4 Vs my A10. Yea...he caught a 4. Oh well. I ended up going out second. I was getting frustrated and push with a Kh8h. You know what sucked...he called with KQ. The only thing is...his KQ held up.

Well, it was nice to play some NLHE. It had been a while. I am still looking forward to the next mixed game night though.

Later

People are really that dumb?

Are smokers really that dumb? Sorry to offend any of you who smoke. I personally don’t get it…smoking just seems really senseless. Any way- on to my real reason for posting this:

So Jenny and I were walking out of the mall with all the little ones in tow (after picture taking with Santa). As we walk out I look over and there are 3 people standing a few feet outside the door smoking. No big deal right. They can’t smoke inside…so they just step outside to suck all the yummy carcinogens into their bodies. Yea, that’s what I was thinking until I saw it- Two guys with a freshly lit cigarette…and a girl lighting up with one hand- her other hand was busy…holding her baby on her hip.

Man I wanted to walk over there and kick them all square in the teeth, especially the mom. In my opinion, you have to be a moron to want to smoke, BUT to smoke while holding your 10 month old baby…in a group of other people who are smoking…you are a freakin waste of space. Why not just go ahead and light one up for the little tot? You might as well you ignorant, mouth-breathing retard!
