*post continued* Over a few days time, I threw up a few random posts and thoughts on Blogger Doings. It’s really difficult to put too much together out of it because everyone is so much fun and so receptive to being together that there is no major issue or noise going on. Everyone just sort of goes their own way and does what they want and then manages to come back together as if the string of blogging minds had never been broken by leaving. After the Wynn buffet, everyone sort of drifted off.

Starting from the beginning - Pauly was hosting a drink-a-thon at the Geisha Bar at the Imperial Palace on Thursday night, the 7th. Everyone was on the invited list and I had to do the usual time clock episode at Bellagio. I knew Craig (CC) was coming into town, and on my way to work, I sent him a text message asking where he was. Response: Caesars u? (more…)

“Linda Geenen has been blogging about poker for a long time, for longer than I even knew what a blog was.

“She’s a dealer at the Bellagio. I remember some long ago threads on rec.gambling.poker about her making posts full of gossip about the players in the big game (that she sometimes dealt) and getting in trouble with management about.

“Well, duh. If you work in the hospitality industry, even in a non-professional job like dealing, you are expected to perserve the privacy of the guests. That’s pretty much the way things work. Poker dealers with blogs aren’t exempt.

“But she’s still there, at least she didn’t lose her job over such extreme non-professional behavior.”

Another shortie before I head across the valley to our WPBT Winter Classic Tournament - hosted at Caesar’s Palace. I’m inhaling my coffee, trying to get my eyes to work -this day life is killing me. I do not know how you people fade the traffic and the sun in your eyes every day, give me the beautiful Moon Goddess, bathing me with soft, silvery light as my guiding star, and let me sleep through humanities insane rush to hurry up and go nowhere.

It’s all their fault! Damn Bloggers! Love them with all my heart and little, weird, brain twists as I keep racing back across the city to hang out with them. NFR is in town, cowboy hats, major belt buckle city, and cowboy boots are everywhere and traffic’s backed up until hell won’t have it but I keep fighting my through it just to hang out with the bloggers for a few days.

PokerWorks is always an ongoing project and since it’s my brainchild, even though there’s a large team working on it, I still get to have a lot of choices on what happens here. One of our latest additions is a WPBTour Forum - a forum for poker bloggers only. It’s a private forum and unless you are registered and given access, you do not even see it when you visit the forum.

When someone asks where you live, the common reply is the city you reside in, or the state. What is hidden beneath all of the layers of civilization is where we actually live. We could dig deeply into our thoughts/psyche and even go so far as to say we live in the past, a dream, or wherever we can deal with reality the majority of the time. Or even further than that - what is reality? Your perception of it or mine? Or is there only one reality, if it isn’t witnessed, is it really reality…OMG, the possibilities are too much for me to handle. Back to the main objective. (more…)
