Rainy Days

I was reading Speaker's recent post about our LA rain and decided to share a rain song too...




I love rainy days!!!!

Who Knew?

Here are the results on reading level for my blog:

Houseboat Memories

If you have never taken a houseboat trip then check these pictures out. This is one of my all time favorite vacations, houseboat trip on Lake Mead 2004.

Hosed by the Hoy

I've finally been able to play a few of the blogger games including last night's Mondays at the Hoy. Our host the Hoy took me out when we both landed trip Queens only he rivered a Boat to win the hand and end my game.

Still it was fun to play with my blogger pals.

Laters all...

Exotic Berry

Exotic Berry is my Poison of choice for the evening. It is a Bartles & Jaymes flavored malt cooler that is quite tasty. And my donation site for the evening is Poker Stars. Now that I have time and but no money, I've been playing the low limit MTTs for kicks.

Last night, I made after playing about 4 hours in a 3.30 MTT, I made a whole 7.36 (whoopeeee!!!) by finishing 30th.

I've also had fun donating at some of the recent blogger events lately. There are so many new bloggers that I don't even know. How have you guys been missing your proper orientation? Didn't anyone tell you that you must play HU with Mrs. Poison? Hit me up for a HU match already!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your evening all....

Pissing and Poker

Last Saturday night, I played at a home game that was set-up in the garage. The host asked all the guys to piss outside in the dirt and the women could go inside the house. The more I thought about it, the more disgusting it seems. And yes, I stayed and played the game anyway.

I just kept thinking that if the men are pissing outside then they are not washing their hands. Ugghhhh!!!!!!!!! So I was touching the chips and cards that were touched with hands unwashed after urinating. TOTALLY gross!!!!

Even more disturbing was the fact that people were eating pizza and chips after touching the cards and poker chips.

So I decided to do some research about hand washing. Here are some of the things I found:

Hand Washing

Hand Washing Prevents Hepatitis A Infections
Men Not Washing Hands

Perhaps I should find comfort in the comments of a fellow blogger on the subject, ..."men piss on the seat, not on their hands"

Our God is Awesome!

HighonPoker takes out the Poison

After surviving the another horrendous move, I was looking forward to doing battle with one of my favorite HU competitors, the one and only Jordan. If I had only known....

Jordan has a great write-up of the event, so go check it out. Congrats my friend!

Musta been the Lucky Buck!

Tonight, I was in the mood to play me some pokah! Of course, my accounts online were at a balance of zerooooooooooo. I could reload, but I've been trying to watch my spending.

Then I saw Jordan on the IM. He had $10 to return to me from the chess challenge I didn't play (which would have been a waste). He gladly sent me the $10 plus an extra buck. I foiled his plan of taking it all right back via a one on one match. We ultimately decided on playing an $11 two table SNG and sent an invite to Fluxer to join us.

The game was fun. But even better was hanging out with my buddies and enjoying some Donkalicious poker play.

Flux got screwed and busted early on with TT, vs 99 and AK. Jordan made a nice come back from a short stack. Then doubled up when he had AA vs my KQ. Then it was a race to the finish. We figured one of us would make it. I pushed with AK of diamonds and Jordan called with QQ. I hit the flop and Jordan busted on the bubble. He was very gracious and continued to cheer for me till the end when I finished second.

Great playing with ya guys!!! And don't worry Jordan, I still want that HU game....

Speaking of HU, go sign-up for HUC5 already!!!!!!

Poker Fun...

It's been a while since I had a good time playing poker. But this little HU game for a $26 token reminded me of good times. A Veneno classic returns...read the chat..that is the entertaining part...

And if you haven't heard the word, HUC5 has arrived!!!!!! The price has gone up and the rules have changed, but it's HU, so how can I miss it?

If any of you donkeys need some quick HU schooling, you know who to call right? Email me at yosoyveneno at yahoo.com

So has anyone been wondering about me? I've been around here and there. The other night Mr. Dreamy invited me to play a Super Sat to the FTOPs Main Event with a bunch of bloggers. Even though I didn't make it, I thought it was a cool idea. Fluxer made it to the Sat, but unfortunately didn't land a seat to the main event.

I did win a $75 and $26 token this week. Not sure what to use it on.

Most of my focus lately has been on finding a new place to live. I will be enduring the ordeal of moving again the end of this month. I'm looking forward to more space. I still have way too much stuff for an apartment. The new place is 1200 sq. ft compared to my current 900 sq ft place. But more than that, here are the other cool features:

1) It is 16 minutes from work!!!!!!! (you guys know how much I always spend driving, this is gonna be heaven and who knows might even give me the chance to play some more blogger events that are wayyyyyyy too early)

2) The school district is great. It rates a 9 on the Great Schools site.

3) Did I mention 1200 sq ft for a 2 bedroom?

4) It is a single story place. (I won't miss the hearing the bed banging on the second floor. Yeah...I'm jealous!)

5) Walk in Closet!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, I need every inch.

6) Close to the Laundry room. I just take a short walk about 50 feet and I'm there. Anything to make the laundry experience more tolerable is a plus.

7) Large Patio. This one is actually large enough to put a table, BBQ, or whatever.

8) Parking spot is close to the apartment. After hauling things from parking lot to apartment..I think I will love this.

Hasta Luego all....
