Billy the Kid

Always a Change........


So on my last posting, I told everyone that I would be playing in a 100k Sunday guaranteed tourny on pokerstars. Well as usual, I did the opposite. I was talking to my friend Dylan, you know, the Big winner on the Sunday Million dollar tournament and he just said when he wins fpp(frequnt player point) tournies into bigger tournaments, he just unregisters from the tournament he won a buy-in into and receives the money is tournament points in his account. So I chose to take that route and had $11 bucks to buy-in to a single table sitngo. I actually won that and now had 45 real bucks in my account, well thats the climax of the story, everything is downhill from there. You know, the ol' bad beat story at a cash table! W/e, its over, but its cool knowing that pokerstars allows you to do that.


Okay...........the picture is so I can get a url for my profile. (You have to have a URL in order for people to see a picture of me in my profile, so by posting a pic is the only way to do so....its complicated and confusing...sorry)




The trip to North Carolina was just beautiful by the way! I couldn't believe my eyes. The Appalachian mountains have a smoky tint to them, hence the name Smoky mountains. The temperature dropped to around 65 every night, a little change from the upper 70's, what Austins been seeing. My favorite attraction.......the Biltmore mansion. Check it out, just unbelievable architecture and beauty. Van der bilt, the man who thought of the magnificent floor layout to this monster home, was a multi- millionaire businessman who made his dream into a reality. Can you believe it took 6 years to construct and finish this modern day marvel? Here's a link to the home, seriously...check it out for yourself...its crazy!!!!!

Here's a shot in front of the house.....

By the way, while me and Phillip were there, we went south to the Cherokee Indian reservation in Cherokee, North Carolina. Can anybody guess what they had there, yep, a damn casino. So to emulate past vacations, we decided to check it out. After getting inside we realize they had nothing but digital games, no real playing cards...WHAT!!! First off, there was no pokerroom. Second, the minimum wager at a Blackjack table was 15 dollars, what happened to the 5 dollar tables, were college kids!!! Lastly, screw their Wheel of Fortune slot machines(even though thats my favorite machine). Both me and phil dropped 40 bucks a piece on those stupid machines, we didn't hit jack squat. However, the old guy next to us is killing with already ringing in over 200 dollars while I was sitting there, thats crap! Here's the casino that the Indians just love taking money from people. I mean come on, online poker is bad enough but digital blackjack, may as well tell the dealer "heres fifty bucks for a donation to the casino".


Anyway, here it is...........

After missing both Jim's and Mondo's tournaments, I'm ready to start playing again. See you guys next week!
