Eight Days

I have been crossing off the days until I move. My mind has been in a haze..

It has been days since I posted and alot has happened, but I can't seem to organize my thoughts...

Here is a brain dump..of random things occupying my mind.

Will the China Cabinet fit? This is one thing that I keep thinking about...I went back to the model of the apartment and realized it is sooo much smaller than my 2150 sq foot 3 bedroom home. Downsizing sucks! I started collecting Princess House Crystal before I even got married. Part of my treasure chest if you will. See...I am a girl..lol...So the thought of not having room for my cabinet is bothersome. I have decided if it won't fit, I will store it.

I did splurge on one item besides my computer. I bought a bed. Cost me almost 3k for the queen bed and headboard. But I don't think I will regret it. It felt wonderful..nice foam..sleep...relax...feel good..in my own new bed...hmmm...It will be delivered to my new pad on the 24th.

In my last post thanking Iggy for being such a good friend, I didn't mean to single him out as the only person who has been there for me. You guys have been soo great. You have been willing to listen and just let me let out my frustration and suffering. I honestly don't think I would have weathered my recent trials without the support of so many friends and family. Some of you have even gone beyond the Yahoo chat and trusted me enough to let me pester you on the phone during moments of weakness. I can't tell you enough how much of a difference you have made...Thanks! I would like to give a special thanks to my buddies below:

Hugs to you all...

I have especially been enjoying the live home games that HighPlains holds on a weekly basis. I try to make it every other weekend when I don't have the kids. It is not that I am making any money. But I do have a great time with a bunch of young guys. They call me the "poker Mom"..yeah...I do feel old in this crowd. Once in a while someone my age shows. But they are really sweet to me and I love the attention.

I been doing the bonus whoring thing on Bodogg. It took me 4 buys-ins to earn my PSO bonus worth $90. Fortunately, I made a few hundred on the last buy-in and built it up to almost $300 with the bonuses and with Slb's referral bonus. So I went to cash out and they told me I would lose $65 if I took my money out. Well chasing that $65 is really costing me. I need about 20 more points, but I got about $125 instead of $300...doh!!!!!!!

I have this knack for doing really good and building up and losing a crapload with some stupid move. Such was the case in one of my ring games on Bodogg. First I bought in short for $50 at a 1/2 nl table. I was kicking butt. And before you know it, I had built it up to $125. Then I get AA. I raise it 4x the bb pre-flop and get one caller. The board comes 89Q rainbow. I pot bet and they guy pushes. Without hesitation, I call for $87. Doh!!!!!!!! He flopped the nut straight.

Tonight I played in the Party Poker $33 Mtt. I was doing really fabulous. 2nd in chips with 99 ppl out of almost 600 entrants to start. Then I do my usual bonehead move with TP and K kicker. Thinking the guy who reraised was bluffing...dumb..dumb..lost about 20k in chips and ended up finishing just in the money at 57th.

Haven't played much Hu lately. I played a few games against random players the other night and went 4 and 1. I keep saying I gotta play more random players to get my stats up. And I joined a 4 person event with Duggle and Slb. Go see Duggle's blog to see the results of that one!

I'm having trouble focussing at work...

Did I mention I can't wait to be out?

Looking forward to the Bash.....

Hasta luego....

Egads! I am off the list! I do not know if my Ego will survive!!! It is hard to fold AA overpair.. some would even argue it would be wrong. I tend to hate hands like that if I get HUGE resistance. Lose small pots with AA.. if someone bluffs you with KQ so be it. Better than losing your entire stack. Also if you had not bought in "short" might you have been up to 200? Not been stacked? One last comment.. whatcha doing playing 50/NL on a 125$ bankroll? Good luck V! At least I hope your having fun.

Nobody else shows up with as many goodies to share, and has as much fun as you do.

You're always welcome at my game, even without Snacky Cakes.
