The latest theme is one that us oldies remember. Except I don’t ever recall seeing a Corvette in those days, even if it ran over me I wouldn’t have known what it was. I don’t think anyone in the areas I lived in, even knew what they were either. Click on the thumbnails. (more…)

I’ve been lost in between trying to sleep, sleeping a few hours, being tired as hell, wishing I could sleep, and nothing is coming together quite as it should. I’ve received sage advice, from more than one person, that it will take me awhile to fit back into a niche. Really? I like the night life. I like early a.m. I don’t like the glaring sun and all the confusion in traffic and speeding vehicles on their way to who knows where in the daytime world. (more…)

I think I’m kinda feeling great over the people that have left me comments, a few ‘e’ cards, and emails, all expressing how much they will miss me or are thinking of me. Honest, I’m not really going anywhere that I can’t be tracked back to right here. I will still be very active with PokerWorks and blogging away with tales of my life and poker and people, filling up the pages of Tango. (more…)

“We’ve been together a long time, Linda.” from Doug Dalton, the director of Poker Operations at Bellagio, as we sat in his private office on June 13th. (more…)

It seems like Monday started a year or so ago. Every down feels like it’s eight weeks long. There are a few half hour sessions that seem to speed by – why is that? The ones that are fun and action packed move right along, the rest of them blend into a never ending skull session of facts and figures, body heat, room noise, people bumping into the back of my chair, and la-tee-da.

“She got out!” Agent Brown in The Matrix. I really like that one line. It strikes me asaparallel to a lot of things in life, mainly mine, when something could have been drastic, “She got out”. Look for more news on that on Saturday’s post here. (more…)

The room was a screamer. I drew Table 30 in the line-up. Thank you GOD! Almost every game was either $2-5NLH or $5-10NLH to Table 40. SWEET! One $4-8H game in the mix and towards the end of the line I ran into a heads-up $200-400 half pot limit Omaha game – yes, they could only bet half the pot. Then another player came in and they decided to go to $100-200 PLO, but most of my down was spent dealing heads-up. Thor Hansen stopped by to visit with one of the players and he visited with me a bit also. I’ve known Thor since the early days at the Mirage. Great guy! My last two games in that line-up were $30-60H and $100-200H. Then I was on a break and dealt two tournament downs in Fontana, there were three tables left of the $1,000 daily tournament. What a great shift. No noise, no headaches, no card zingers, just deal and I had such nice interaction with the players. (more…)

I felt the need to add this after having received more comments from ReDRulvl. He ripped me in the first one, but has come around to a more rational level of thinking about the Overview. Nice! I think I like this kid. Hopefully we will meet and iron out all of the kinks. *ok, it’s a three liner*

I had an incredibly wonderful, relaxing three day weekend. As much as I accomplished, it would not appear that it was relaxing, but it was. I managed to tie up a bunch of things that had been digging a bedding ground for ‘non-accomplishment rot’ for a long time. (more…)
