Rough Weekend at Mookie's!!


OK......so I actually only ended up spending there regular buyin for 20, plus the double add-on for another 10, so wasn't to bad. I ended up being the true bubble boy! In regular tournaments, the bubble leaves with NOTHING. But lucky me, in this particular event, there was a gift card to the Iron Cactus left specifically for the bubble. Don't know how much is on it, but hey, a new restaurant to try. So its been awhile since Ive updated my blog. So a little recap.......................

Two weekends ago at Jim's when Staceys parents were in town, I ended up chopping with her father, love the people by the way, very nice and fun. Lucky for me, I now lead in points over at Jimbo's pokerroom. I know what everybodies thinkin...............what a fish.......

This past weekend at Mondo's where all the pro's and bloggers met, like I said earlier.....the true bubble...so here we go...................




Yes, thats what I felt like! Anyway, I guess everyone has to bubble at some point.

Its been months since I have played online, but last night I put 10 dollars on pokerstars on took it to 40 then lost.........my goodness... what was i thinking. just turned me off even more, now it ll probly be another year before I touch it. Live poker always brings out the best in everyone anyway. I'm actually about to play in the biggest tournament Ive ever been in at Mookie's pokerroom on Thursday. The Big O 50 dollar no-limit event. We'll see what happens. Good luck to everyone, if I miss you there I'll see you at Jim's for the weekend normal 10 dollar event.

Texas Holdem!!! Legal in Texas???


I couldn't believe it. At work today, a fellow coworker mentioned something about a bill trying to be passed by legislation....about poker! As soon as a heard the word, I quickly whipped my head around and listened. He didn't know to many details about the possible new law, but he did mention that the article was on Austin's fox news website. So today I decided to check it out. And its true.......!! The NPPA (National Poker Players Alliance) are trying to make hold em legal in Texas. This would mean legal betting establishments or bars with legal cash games running. My question still stands, why not any Texas Casinos? Good for the state right? I'm happy to see this bill is being proposed, its about dang time. Below is the link for the article on fox...check it out, its pretty good stuff.

As for the weekend, pretty good, or as most would say, pretty lucky weekend for me ; ) I haven't even moneyed at Mondo's when there's been bounties, heck I haven't even moneyed period at Mondo's this season.........BUT.....I finally broke the streak with a win at the Mookie's pokerroom. 225 dollar take home, nice, but had to apply it all towards bills because of my New Mexico trip setting me back two weeks ago. Then, on Saturday I played in a cash game with some coworkers, .50/1 no limit hold em minimum buy-in of 40 bucks, made an extra 90, so took home about 130. I guess this coming week its time for me to go broke.........LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY ME. Fun weekend, even better reading this article today.

Have a wonderful week everybody!!!
