Well Done Chuck
Enough said. For those of you who didn't see it, or haven't heard, Chuck K had an outstanding 28 hours at Harrah's. I'm not going to say a number, because its his business, but it was great. Way to go Chuck, it's always good to see one go to the good guys. Damn, did I just call you a good guy? I gotta get some sleep!

Going Off Topic
I know I've started a new topic for my blog, but i must veer away for this post.
It may sound cheesy and stupid, which it probably is, but i had SUCH A GOOD NIGHT, i have to tell you guys about it. And no, it has nothing to do with a big score, or a well played night by me.
I'm sure you don't know it, but I've been teaching Beth how to play Omaha. She's been playing a lot of play chip PLO on Full Tilt, and has recently started playing very low level cash games, and tourneys as well. She is picking it up very fast. As they say, a good poker player can play any game. And that's exactly what she's doing.
Well, tonight we hit the President. I FINALLY talked her into giving the $2-$5 NL game a shot down there. And of course, they didn't spread it this week. They did, however, get a $5-$10 Omaha Hi/Lo game going. The first time she's ever played live Omaha.
Now, I've told you she's been playing PLO online, but has never really played Hi/Lo before. She played SO GREAT! I was so proud of her. We sat next to each other all night, and had a great time, and like i said, she played her ass off.
Besides taking some really hard beats, 2 sets of Kings getting rivered i.e, she won about $75. There were a few times she turned wheels, that were no good for the high, so she just called down. Many people, especially beginners, raise there. But she stood strong.
So, all in all, it was a great night. We had a great night, and both came out ahead. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Beth to the Omaha Addict club. It's official, she's hooked. Good luck babe, you're in for a wild ride.

No Blog Topic
First of all I must say, John Adams, back to back $4,000 nights. Wow! I just cant explain it. You all know what I'm talking about. Just when you think he's been caught bluffing, he turns over the nuts, and felts someone. Ya, that's it, what more can ya say?
Anyway, I originally started this blog to tell people, and gather their information, on strange and interesting things that i see in the poker room. I've come to realize that's it's not that interesting. Not that it's not that interesting, it's just not worth taking the time or effort for me to write about most of it.
So, here's the KNEW subject of my blog: First there was "Headlines" with Jay Leno, then came the "Top Ten List" with Letterman. Now there is...
"THINGS STUPID PEOPLE SAY!"
I cannot tell you how many totally moronic, and assinain things i hear people say in the room. Whether it's about poker, life, or just stupid question they ask. Granted most of the time it's a $1-$2 NL with about $80 worth of white chips in front them, analyzing a hand that SOMEONE ELSE has just played. Most of the time they are just totally wrong, and it takes everything in my power not to come across the table and strangle the life out of them.
I'm telling you all up front, I'm not sure who all reads this, but you WILL BE A TARGET! I'm not holding anything back. If you say something idiotic, expect to see it up here, with you name at the top. I truly hope i offend all of you. After all, you DESERVE IT!
