It's Been A Very Long Time!

Yes, I've been playing poker....but it seems as though the last two months have been a blur of other life activities including moving to a new home, traveling to Spain and England, and well....embarking on a new life path!

My poker playing has consisted of Monday nights at Fado, and freerolls with 4acesevents.com Currently, the first place prize in their finals is for a cruise for two to Cozumel, from Galveston. I'm going on the cruise, regardless if I win....but it would be nice to win!

On Sunday night, I watched Pokerdome on Fox for the first time, and found it to be quite interesting! So today, I went to and joined their site. I played in my first tournament, and came in 8th out of 363.

I really like their site. It's simple---but there were absolutely no problems or timeouts during the tournament, and the players were playing regular poker----there weren't alot of bullies there at all.

I did get to go visit the Bay 101 casino in San Jose, and because they play some different form of NL Hold-em, I didn't play. I just picked up some chips for my evergrowing chip collection, and decided I'd play in LA, at the Commerce Casino.

I like the Commerce Casino. The staff are helpful, the casino is large and spread out, and there are many options for meals, etc. Besides that, there is a Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza right on the premises. I did stay there two years ago, and was present when Ben Affleck won the California State Poker Championship.

I know that I'm kinda writing all over the place right now....there just seems to be so much to write about...and of course, that is no one's fault but my own, for not keeping up with the writing!

I did also make my foray to a strip club for the first time in my life! There are several clubs around Austin that give away a trip to Vegas--to the first place winner--on the very same night. One of my friends has become a strip club poker player--and he is getting frustrated because he can't win...yet, one of my other female friends, won her first night there!

Granted, we were all a little nervous about going to a strip club---not knowing what to expect. Thankfully, the poker is played in a private room, and you don't need to face the the stage. However, going to the restroom, was a different story! Not only do you have to go by the stage, but everyone in the place can see you! Talk about being self-conscious! The food was actually pretty good...and....pints were only $2.00! You certainly can't beat that!

So, I'm back...and will be a little more diligent in working on my blog....I have missed writing...and definitely have missed reading blogs!

Poker on!
