especially getting it all-in with AQd on a 2-diamond flop

Thanks - appreciate the back hander. It was 'close' to the right play under the circumstances. Your from Halifax? I have a friend that lives there...and i was planning on visiting later in the year/early next year. What are the live poker options like there?

no, the AQ comment was because of a hand me and misterB discussed, not a backhander at you.i'm not from halifax, but i am living here now. there is a casino with a small poker room. its pretty decent, usually runs 1/2 NL, 2/4 LHE and 5/10 LHE. sometimes a 2/4 NL, 10/20 or 15/30 LHE or sit and go's in the busier times. there's a lot of 'underground' places in the area that are pretty well-known, but i've never been.does your friend go to school out here?

Ah - i misunderstood. I'm critical enough of my own play, so i normally expect that from others. Theres so much background that needs to go into the retelling of any given poker hand that it makes it almost impossible to give the correct context. She's not in school there, no. My Canadian geography is sketchy at best, but i think she moved there from Newfoundland? for work....something in the digital media field.What do you usually play? I think i heard you say you play there pretty regularly.

sleep time for me soon. here's the rest of the story:I was really drunk last night and woke up with a bit of a hangover. I didn't get much sleep and have had a headache all goddamn day. As it turns out, my roommate was in his room this morning and I kept him up with my music, but I don't think he's mad at me.As for the girl, I didn't get a good look at her. I was way too pissed about the intrusion to think about sex. If there's any way to make me unreasonably mad, it's sleeping in my bed without my permission.

newfoundland is close, so that makes sense. i really hope she is from newfoundland too, since newfies are pretty much the butt of every canadian joke.i used to play pretty regularly 2/4-3/6 LHE online, but haven't played much the last couple months. i still play at the casino every week or two, but just 1/2 NL or 2/4 LHE for fun, even though the 15/30 game is more beatable than most 0.5/1 online.most bars per capita in north america, and 8 major universities/colleges in the metropolitan area, so its a great place to visit.

but if you got her to play with little jeff, then you wouldn't be so mad. This is the play that needs to be made next time

[MisterB 2]

Chris just won his 3rd 650 PCA seat. Did it in his typical style, which was basically getting it all-in on the bubble with AK vs QQ and hitting two aces on the flop.

It really pisses me off that he does that crap and wins seats, while I had flips for 2 stacks that would have given me seats when I was pushing and the other player had to call all of the chips and I lose both. I've literally had 4 hands this past week where if I win them, I win the seat (77 vs AK, 99 vs AK, AK vs T4, and QQ vs AJ) and I lost them all. If I hadn't won a seat today (in a tourney where I went 0/3 in flips, but did suck out getting it in 30:70 once) I would probably be slitting my wrists right now.

Date-ails:I had a date on Saturday. I offered to take her to dinner, even though the Tigers were playing their first World Series game in 22 years. She suggested we go to a bar to watch the Tigers play, instead. She ordered steak (I had a Chicken Caesar Salad, and was understandably mocked), and we hammered $2 Miller Lite pints, and she kept up with my inflated, TheTigersAreSucking, pace. At one point, I ordered a beer for myself, and- seeing as how my date still had a good 8oz. left in her beer when she went to the ladies' room- declined to put in a drink order for her. She came back from the bathroom, and when she found out I'd ordered a drink for myself, and neglected to do so for her, became incensed. Her agitation at being a half-drink behind me was a massive turn-on. (I declined to mention this, but I think she noticed anyway.)At one point (when Pujols went YAK off of Verlander) I pried my left eye open, handed her the salt shaker, and joked, "Please. Just please pour salt into my eye." Without missing a beat, she tossed salt into my eye, and I scurried to the bathroom, howling.When I emerged- red-eyed and screw-faced- she was still laughing too hard to talk. She squeaked an apology that actually seemed sincere in between fits of hysterical laughter. This was when I decided I wanted a second date. Around this time, a woman pushing 50 walked by, her nipples jutting through her thick orange sweater. Infatuated as I was, I didn't notice; my date did. "Oh. My. God. Look at that!" I looked, and guffawed. This turned our conversation to the subject of breasts. We focused, mainly, on hers.Wang: "Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to maintain eye-contact right now, given the current- ahem- subject matter?"Girl: "I realize. Kudos for the effort. Go ahead; my shirt's not lowcut enough to give you an eyeful."Wang: (briefly looks down) "Hey... Uh, is that the same... that's the same shirt you were wearing when I met you, isn't it? The shirt you wore at the bar?"Girl: (nods, barely embarrassed) "Yeaaaah, I figured you'd notice. Same jeans, too."Wang: "Wow. SUPER classy...."Girl: "You can't smell the smoke or anything, can you?"Wang: "Wait, what? So... you didn't even...?"Girl: "Oh, no. I almost never wear this shirt, and I figure you can wear jeans like 10 times before you wash them."Wang: "I-"Girl: "Those are the same jeans I met YOU in. You're not going to tell me you washed them...."Wang: "Actually, I did. I never wash these jeans. But I figured... oh! Another beer? Yeah, me too. 2 Miller Lights, please..."Apart from this exchange, the night was kind of a blur. She ranted about female sports announcers, Title IX, racial hyper-sensitivity, and skanks. I managed, stress-induced breakout and all, to interject just enough charm to keep her from passing out at the table. When we finally left, my windshield wipers inexplicably ceased working. I left her in the car, engine on, and started wiping down the windshield with Rain-Ex ©. I finished, gave a self-satisfied nod, and turned to the driver's side door.Cue: Vivivcation of Windshield Wipers.She laughed throughout the 5-minute drive back to her place, tears rolling openly down her cheeks. I remained stoic as long as I could, but my veneer of anger finally cracked when, as we pulled into her driveway, she squealed- through peals of laughter so incapacitating that she spent every breath not gasping for air half-retching- "THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE!"The look on my face indeed....I spent most of the rest of the evening charming her dog with leftover steak nicked when The Lady powdered her nose (quite often, given her fish-like bar tendencies), making bad puns, and trying to think of a good excuse to call her the next day, apart from: "Hey. I had fun last night."The last bit ended up being pretty unnecessary. When she walked me out- me, racking my brain for a smooth night-ender- she smiled genuinely, and asked: "Will you call me? Tomorrow?"Damn straight, woman! SCORE!Wang

[MisterB 2]

So while you were at her place you didnt try to kiss or whip it out. Im sorry im taking notes.Sounds like an awesome date. So did you call her the next day? Is this the girl from 90 minutes away you met 2 weeks ago?Outstanding story FYI. I could actually visualize being there and having you stare at my covered, yet still hard, nipples.

No-fucking-****.When Bob Seger came out to sing "God Bless America" she knew who he was because he was the guy that "wrote that turn the page song that Metallica covered."I couldn't make this stuff up. She even mentioned "Garage, Inc." by name, and mentioned that Misfits song they covered. I didn't even know they'd covered a Misfits song. I had to look it up when I got home....I'll probably have more stories for debriefing. It was like trying to read a book in an hour. You'll get the gist, but the specifics aren't going to come to you until something jogs your memory.

I would also like to add, as a postscript:I appreciate- as much as a person posting anoymously can really appreciate the attention and resulting patience of his seemingly-similar-minded also-anonymous audience- y'all putting up with the neurotic treatment I gave this situation. (It shouldn't come as a surprise that I have a few bookshelves full of Woody Allen collections.)Ironically enough, something RMexico mentioned a while back led me to do a little unanticipated "thinking." ("Thinking" appears here in quotes because it's nearly impossible for me to allow that the result of a RonMexico comment could really be THINKING. So, "thinking.") When I first started posting here, it was out of a combination of boredom and shared interest; there's really not much else to do while pokering around. Recently, however, I've noticed a different pattern:Nowadays, I only post here when I'm overcome with an otherwise insatiable need to GET IT DOWN. I've tried to elucidate this feeling before- for years, actually, to friends and family alike- with little success, because I was, in a fashion anyone who knows me would call typical, (and as I've come to describe it now) "running without the ball." That is to say, I've been trying to describe something, I've been trying to utilize the one skill I believe I have, that ability to explain (annotate? illustrate? break down? analyze? rationalize?) what I believe, or see, or think I know. But I suppose the problem wasn't, as I'd previously thought (and worried, to no end, annoying my friends and self alike), that I didn't have the appropriate faculties to describe what it was I felt compelled to do. No. Instead I didn't realize the nature of the compulsion.Sometimes I just need to Tell. Simple. And certainly obvious. Sometimes I just feel an uncontrollable need to express, to Tell, to communicate, even when I don't particularly value the response to the communication (though, I suppose it should be said, I wouldn't put my thoughts down somewhere unless I felt the response to said thoughts were somewhat valuable, however I might choose to define that term).So. Pardon me for being a self-centered, ungracious jerk prone to consistently "me-first" non sequiturs. When I'm clacking away at my keyboard here, it's because there's something I want to Tell, and it just so happens I have- for some reason another- chosen to do so Here.Anyways, I've been quietly reflective all night since Todd Jones loaded the bases, again, and threatened to ruin the Tigers' baseball season. This is the logical result, naturally. And probably the beers have something to do with it, too, probably.Wang

PS- Tigers game was horrifying. Todd Jones should have to watch as his children are murdered, then they should interview him, but- oh wait!- it was all a cruel jokePPS- I wouldn't mind playing hide the salami with her...
