Some random poker tidbits this evening...
I ordered a new poker table for the home games that Randy and I host. Yeah, it looks pimp. I went by the local Sports Authority shop to check it out, then ordered it online when the box looked too damn big to fit in the back seat of my convertible. For what I saved in sales tax, the remaining $30 or so for shipping is well worth it for door to door service, I think. I will welcome the arrival of the FedEx (wo)man tomorrow with our new toy.
I also got my F*cking River t-shirt from CafePress today - just in time to wear to Scott's mini Diamond game tomorrow night. This thing just cracks me the hell up. Funny shit. I found a shirt on eBay that I thought was just hysterical - haven't ordered it yet though. Trying to be frugal. (I'm serious!) You can all stop laughing your asses off now.
I've been data mining Full Tilt like the number crunching whore that I am. Have I mentioned how happy I am to be able to use Poker Tracker with Full Tilt? FINALLY! Must... crunch... numbers.... ... must... analyze... statistics....
I was totally tempted to head to Trump after work tonight. You see, I work about 20 miles from Trump, whereas I live about 40 miles from it. Work is half way between home and poker. How convenient! I resisted, though I was quite certain that with the TeleNav GPS on my Blackberry phone, I could find it myself. (Randy drove yesterday, as he knows where all the casinos are). That GPS stuff kicks much ass, by the way. "Prepare to turn left in 1 mile!" Thanks, Robotic Lady Voice!
That's all my news. Randy is gone for the night, helping his parents move, so I think I'm going to hit up the online poker machine. I could do something productive, but after having to go to work today (ARGGG!), I'm in no mood for any more productivity. Let's see if my fish tagging on FTP has done any good....
That new table looks pretty good. I'm concerned about the folding in the middle, please let us know if that affects the cards. I built my own table and am interested in buying a second one.
How'd you do at poker last night?
