Missing in Action
April 11, 2008
I need to take a few minutes to apologize to all my friends at Suited Jokers and the Skype crew.
I haven’t been around a lot lately.
There are a few reasons for this but mainly I just haven’t had the energy or drive for poker. In the last three weeks, I can probably count on one hand how many games I have played. As a matter of fact, I have probably played more live tournaments than on-line tournaments lately.
Add to that, I have been doing a lot of computer and network stuff at work so when I get home, the last thing I want to do is to sit at a computer again for a few hours.
For those of you who O-Game, I find it a little boring and the potential for weeks of work being lost, too high for me. Dog was gone one week, he cam back and BLAM, half his shit or more got blown up.
I have a feeling we are all in a little bit of a slump so to speak. Blog’s haven’t been written in a while, posting in the forum isn’t that high, no one is real excited for the next forum challenge, etc. It seems like everyone is just BLAH….
I think I need one of the infamous “Lippy nights”. Where we all get a little tuned up, play some cards, and laugh our asses off.
Maybe soon we can have one of those nights. I will know it’s a good one when I get evil looks from my wife cause I am being too loud and drinking too much. lol
Until then, I will be around. I lurk a little bit more now. I watch things but just don’t participate as much. Soon though, I can tell because if I wasn’t getting a little better, I wouldn’t be writing this.
Oh and Ash, good luck with the writers block. I think Blagz’ comment revolved more around the fact that you need to just sit down and write. The act of writing may help you organize your thoughts.
Good luck to all my Bud’s…see ya soon..
comments welcome..

Got something to say?
Yup and yup.. You just about sum it up Dave.
Enthusiasm is at an all time low for me, plus I was away for a week and have been ill since returning but, in all fairness I have not been poker active for most of this year.
I did try to play a couple of games with Gotmewrong whilst in Denmark and it was sorta okay-ish.. Yet it never felt like real fun if yah know what I mean.
I have been meaning to make a blog post about this very thing, about this lethargy that has taken hold of me and others concerning poker..
Try and put my two cents together sometime later today mebbe..
nice to see yah still alive n kicking tho bud
Well, I can dig where you’re coming from Bro and I’d like a wild night or 2 with the old gang again as much as anybody,but, I can’t do it alone, lol.
We need to try to get a sng or private tourney setup for next weekend so we all have time to adjust our varied schedules. Which we all know will be the hardest thing to accomplish.
As for O-Game, I lost my entire fleet. I was ranked 730 when I left for vacation and the day I returned I was ranked 726. The number 2 ranked player sent 500 battlecruisers and wiped out 30% of defenses and all ships and sats.
Wasn’t a big deal too me and I have made friends with my attacker although I’m certain he would attack again if I don’t mind my P’s and Q’s.
I’m now ranked 717 and I’m stronger now than before vaca. I’m not building many larger ships now, at least not for awhile, just keeping raiding ships a 3 planets and shuttling them back and forth during FS’s.
I’m also turtle’in up, building defenses on my homeworld non-stop for the last 3 days. It won’t stop any really strong players from attacking but it keeps the wolves at bay and thats about the best we can ask for.
Hope to catch ya online soon and slam a few beers w/ ya, lol. Hell that might get ya in the mood for a game or two, lol, but it’ll at least get the ball rolling again.
See Ya on the Felt
