Poker night is back.

Greetings there poker fans. Tonight was another magical poker night at my humble abode. I ended up nearly doubling my chips with a finish at 940 chips with a 500 chip start. It's been awhile since I played, but there were some interesting hands:

1. Styles ended up going all-in in no-limit Omaha Hi with Qs / 2s / 8 / 10 on a flop of Jh / 9s / blank of hearts. What's interesting here is he thought he had the nut straight Q to 8. Unfortunately, he had an open-ended straight draw. Two players proceeded to call his all-in both with four to a flush (I believe). Bottom line is, he ended up making his runner-runner flush on the river and robbed 'em both when they missed. Oh silly.

2. Somewhere in there we had a hand of either Omaha or No-Limit or Limit Hold 'Em... yeah, I'm tired, where Big Papa destroyed an unfortunate young soul by pulling quad kings against a full boat 8 over kings... it just hurts sometimes don't it?

Anyways, I feel like I'm getting a better handle on things and not just going on auto-tilt when I play. I'm folding more often when I should be and also calling more often when I should be... except in Anaconda... man I have no idea what is going on seriously... barf. Next post should be Sunday after my Saturday adventure at Foxwoods playing $4 / $8... yes.

I flopped the 4 Kings in a No-Limit Hold'Em hand and Mr. Styles was my victim. Nice revenge for the Omaha suck out he pulled on me and the D-Man that you mentioned in #1.
And FYI, I had hidden trip 4s (I was holding a pair) with a diamond flush draw when that happened. I would've won the hand if not for the spades. What can you do though? Both D-Man and I had called his all in on the flop and I felt I had D-Man beat at the river so I did the right thing and have no regrets.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.

Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.

You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.

I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
