I was thinking about my doorbell
When was the last time that you where able to go for an extended period of time with no sleep? Mine was this weekend, thanks to some hot unadulterated World Cup Soccer action, I was forced to be awake at 11 am on Saturday. Normally that would not be a problem, though I do enjoy sleeping in on weekends, but on Friday night I stayed out at a Casino until 7 am. I got home took a shower and went straight to bed setting my alarm for 11. I actually awoke to the consistant tones of my alarm and readied myself for Soccer. After 5 hours that can only be described as heartbreaking, I logged on to my favorite mmorpg just to see who was online. Luckily there were several of my friends hanging around so we set up a quick group, with one my friends naval buddies and that guys wife. My friends naval buddy has to be the wierdest sounding guy ever but his wife has the sultriest female voice and you could just sit and listen to her talk for hours. After the group wiped several times we were forced to let another unsuspecting idiot in on the action. The guy that we let in was a total tool, but allowed for some comic relief between the two of us that weren't married when he kept trying to get all up in the female. This was funny because he did not know that the other two were married or that we are all in the same guild and could constantly chat about what a tool he was. Anyways, we ran a mission that we have ran a few times before but this time found a little exploit in that you can run through one of the missions and get a 10% bonus if you don't kill anything and just get to the other side, you can then recall out and redo it at no loss to expierience. So needless to say my friend and I were forced to stay up all night and repeat this until we could no longer function, because with our luck they will pull this out of the game and then we would have been pissed that we knew and did not take advantage. So I was able to go to sleep for about 20 minutes before I had to take a shower and head to the big semiannual poker tournament held every 4 months. Needless to say I did not do to well at poker, though I lost a huge pot to a guy who I am convinced can barely read. I have a 4/5 of clubs and am in the big blind. The only other person in the hand was in the small blind. The flop was 6/7 of clubs and an 8 of spades, with 4 to the flush and a straight I decide go all in. At this point I can cover anyone on the table with chips so it is not an easy decision for them to make for a draw, but I felt the need to do this because I had the low end of the straight and did not want anyone drawing out on me. He called with an Ace/9 of spades. I will repeat the for those of you who play poker and think that I might have misstyped and Ace/9 of spades. He has a straight draw and an outside chance at the flush, with the straight showing not really a call that you should make. So the turn was a spade and the river was, you guessed it a spade to pretty much end my night. I was not the same player after that, oddly enough 2 hands later the guy who was right behind me in chips went all in with an Ace/7 with Ace/7/4 showing. So the same guy that had called me, called him but this time he had a monster hand of 4/6 offsuit. So with low pair on the board he called an all in that had him covered. So twice he called an all in with an ass hand that could have ended his tournament. The turn was a 6 and the river was a 4 giving him a full house and beating the guy who had aces and sevens. So with a huge chip lead he limped in to second place by never playing another hand. What a weekend!

What a ramble! What did that have to do with your doorbell? I guess you and me don't keep in good enough touch. I didn't know you go to the casino that often. And it's a drive from where we live. On the subject of the MMOP-thingy... Sounds fun, but did you say "listen" to your friend's wife? I'm more astounded by the technology that enable you to talk through the game than the fact you were lusting over your friend's wife. Finally, All that river, turn, blind, Ace/6 talk means absolutely nothing to me. But I assume the dumb-ass got very, very... very... ...VERY lucky. I hate those guys.
In my home game, our table rule is that if you're dealt the Hammer, you have to call the big blind no matter what or you're a totally wuss.
Real men play 7-2o. But stupid men raise with it. Brilliant men bluff with it.
Two points to clarify for you, the reader. The wife that I am lusting after is actually the wife of my friends friend, so in realty I don't know what she looks like and it is not my firends wife. I can only imagine how hot she really is and I really don't want to meet her it might take away from the fantasy, in fact I can guarantee that it would because there is no way that she looks like Katherine Hiegle. The Casino that I go to is the Choctaw Indian High Stakes Casino that is in Hugo, OK about 20 min. North of Paris, TX, so it is about an hour from my house.
[scribbles notes to self]
Hugo, OK
Poker room
actually the poker room is in Durant, OK right North of Sherman on 75. At Hugo, OK they have Blackjack, and a BlackJack style Texas Holdem game where you are dealt 2 cards and can show the other people at the table your hand. You only play against the dealer who plays the best hand they are dealt. You can also play a bonus where you get payed on the strength of your starting hand, this is actually where you can win alot of money. Pocket aces pays 52-1, kings 50-1, A/K suited 40-1 and so on. I think it is alot of fun and encourage everyone to gamble.
You said you were in a "guild". That makes you the biggest tool that I associate with on a regular basis. I'll try to get you some sort of award for that.
Dagromm you tell me that everytime that I talk to you and I have never mentioned that I was in a guild.
