Trading Poker for Blogging???

Another Friday night, and tonight I actually made the choice to stay in....work on my blogs.

What's up with that????

Maybe a little break is in order---given the drama and excitement of the past couple of weeks.

I didn't even remember the women's freeroll last night.

I did play a new video poker game on POGO.com. It is sooooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Night from Hell

A poker night full of arguments, bullying and drunks....it was CRAZY! At one point, I considered leaving, and said no, I will use this as an exercise in mental focus. Ha Ha! I guessed I passed since I made it to 2nd place in the first session and 8th in the second session.

There were two Royal Flushes, a straight flush, and several four of a kinds. That is surely indicative of a very strange night!

Another night like this and I don't think I'll be going back there.....we'll see how it goes.

So Nice to Play

There were so many new people playing tonight. First session I played the women's tournament...and the second tournament, I played mixed. I don't even know what place I came in with the women's tournament. I did come in 6th in the mixed...and I only won 2 pots in 2.5 hours.

It was crazy, and a bit dull. I had gone to the Oasis prior to going to play. And had 3 margarita's--2 melon, and one mango. A lady let me try her tequila sunrise....and yuck! It was grooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssss.

Tomorrow night is Fado! I can't wait---that is my favorite place to play, right now.

Hurry Up, 6pm!

I haven't played poker since Thursday night---which was online.....and I managed to lose $10 bucks playing a cash game....and won $2.00 in a STT. No big deal.

Last night, I really wanted to play...but there was no poker to be found....so I went and played BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's only $6.00 for 5 chances of winning up to $750! And the adrenaline rush when I am down to one/two numbers is oh so much fun!

So tonight will start another session of points....I'm going to a friend's party at the Oasis at 4pm, then going to play poker at 6pm. I might be good and sloshed at that point!

We'll see how it goes.....

Can you say "addicted" to gambling??????
