Molasses and Sunday afternoon’s
November 26, 2006
Well, anyone who has read the blog regularly will have noticed a trend. That being, I seem to play most of the league games half asleep.I managed to up the ante last Friday night and actually played whilst asleep! I kid you not, about 35 minutes into the game I felt my eyes closing. So I did the usual thing of lighting a smoke and sitting myself up in the chair, blink rapidly and a shake of the head and then I am usually good for a while longer using this technique. Usually.
Not this time though. Just before the hour mark I snapped awake as the “beep” from the poker site was timing me out on my bet. Urgh, Ok I resign myself to the fact that I really am not going to win this battle. The hourly 5 minute break comes and I say goodnight to everyone and drag myself off to brush my teeth and to bed. Leaving my average sized chip stack to the vultures to pick over.

Did I say back Wednesday? I of course meant Thursday. 
This’ll be a double header, both Thursday’s and Friday’s posts in one.
Well that was the Weekend that was…

I apologise for any “lameness” of the blog today, I have been down with a bug for a couple of days and am not really firing on all cylinders…On Saturday my league held 5 freeroll tournaments. The majority of the league members were and are very dismissive of freerolls, but most agreed it would be a good idea to have them, hoping they would promote our league name and hopefully we would manage to find a few players that would stick around and actually become regular members of the league.

A long-ish blog today, to last you over the week-end. I will be away from Friday until Tuesday.Why? Why? Why?
Why is it, I can not seem to have a night of poker without incident? Either the gods of destiny are just screwing with me, to enable me to have something to write about in here, or that ‘Fickle Finger of Fate’ has somehow got its’ digit irretrievably wedged up my rear end.

WooHoo! Last night I was fully 100% wide awake when my regular private league started!Perhaps I should explain, I am in the UK and even though the league I belong to is UK based, most of our games do not start until 11pm UK time. This is to accommodate our overseas players (mostly USA) and it is not uncommon for me to nod off on the couch after my evening meal and waking up just as the games are starting. Subsequently for the first 30 minutes of most games I enter I am half asleep.
No Play Today
November 15, 2006
Well, ……truth be told I wasn’t “Fully Wide Awake” when the game kicked off in the league game this evening. It was Omaha H-Lo again and I just didn’t fancy playing it. Probably the first game I have not entered when sitting at the computer all ‘poker-ready’ so to speak.
I ain’t played much Omaha before, in fact I only started a couple of weeks ago, when there were no other games around and I just click-joined a league game. Then promptly sailed through to the final table, in complete ignorance of how I ever got there. Pestering the guys in the chat room all the time with, “is this a good hand?”, “what’s a good hand?” or a “how come I won that?” etc…
