Donkeys Always Draw - The Adventures of an Online Poker Playing Donkey

This movie speaks to me on a number of different levels.

As I mentioned, I took down the Donkament last Friday, with muhctim taking second.  But there was much more to our Friday evening than this.

While heads up, and his stack around 100K, and mine around 70K, I asked muhctim if I should play the nightly 10:45 HORSE tournament (in which I’ve had tremendous success), he immediately responded by asking when it started.  So we both entered it.

The Donkament ended about 15 minutes after the HORSE tourney started, but during that time, muhctim asked me if I wanted to chop the 1/2 money.  I thought about it, as he held about a 100K to 70K advantage over me at that time, but ultimately refused.  I really wanted to earn a Donkament title on my own.  I was fortunate enough to win the thing eventually, and then we both focused on the HORSE tourney.

Well, waddayanknow, we both not only final tabled it, but nearly had a repeat of our Donakament results, with him finishing third, and myself taking the runner-up spot out of 161 runners, which was about twice the size of the fields of my previous HORSE wins in this tournament.

Not a bad night.  Hard to believe that just a week earlier I’d allowed the roll to slip to just under $5, and now it’s up over $400.  No reload for me thank you.

Just added another feather in my bloggerment cap.  I know, it’s just a $1 rebuy bloggerment, but I’m still proud to take it down.

MATH – check

Dookie – check
RiverChasers – check
and finally
Donkament – CHECK!!!

Highlight of the night…busting Waffles with The Hammer…All in preflop of course.

The election is over.  I’m pleased with the results, my guy won.  But I’m very distressed about the future of commercials on television in a post-election world.

You all know that there were a hell of a lot of political advertisements on TV this year.  Nothing too unusual, it’s an election year…pretty standard stuff.

Here’s what you didn’t know.  The ONLY ad that was on TV over the course of the last month that wasn’t political was this one.

With the election in our rearview mirror now, we can only look forward to more of this fucking commercial on our airwaves.

I like The Fixx, but I never did like this song, and now it’s fucking drilled into my brain during every commercial break that I see.  I swear, I saw this commercial four times in 10 minutes during the Lions game on Sunday.

If I hear it again, I might obtain a red-hot poker, and seal my ears shut.

The bankroll had slipped, and I was on the verge of calling it quits.  I played the tournament that I’d won twice, and final tabled numerous times, and yes, I’m alive.

Halloween, my excuse to dress Numb Jr. in an outfit that makes his daddy proud.

I’m very analytical when it comes to most of the decisions in my life.  Whether it’s poker, financial, career, travel…whatever…I tend to analyze things and make my decision based on my analysis.

Having a child, who just turned two, has completely changed this force of habit of mine.  Those of you who have little pups know what I’m talking about.

Emotions change on a dime, not only with Numb Jr., but with myself and Mrs. Numb as well.

Every day it’s something different, and there’s not the time to analyze and make decisions based on that.

I guess what I’m saying is, that I’m getting in touch with the inner-touchy-feely guy in me.  It’s a side haven’t used much in the past, but these days, it comes into play now more than ever.

That is all… please continue your shopping now…

Thanks to Al, who procured this list for me before I even had a chance to request it from FTP.

Not sure if this includes the add-ons or not, but does that really matter?
