Tedium
Well, still no hits on the resumes I've sent out. There is one possibility here in town though. The old building, having been sold to the guy that runs the Coronado Theatre (big Italianate Vaudeville house/road house), is donating it to the city to run, and I'm making inquiries about being the tech guy on staff there. I'm not thrilled about staying in Rockford, but I'm less thrilled about moving.
S and I went to a local bar to watch the final table of the WSOP on Pay-per-view the other night. Fun hanging out with her, but ESPN (of course) didn't broadcast the hole cards of the table, so with the action being slightly slower than molasses, It was not a riveting evening of entertainment (You don't really realize how much dead time is edited out of a game for re-broadcast.). I don't mind not seeing the hole cards, but the action has to move. But with 5 million dollars on the line, I'd dither and delay just as much, I guess.
As I've said before, I've been playing Play Money at Full Tilt Poker. I'm up to about 37K in Play money. They start you at 1,ooo. I'm getting closer to putting actual money in to play for real. Maybe my next design fee will donate $50.
This morning I had my first really exciting showdown at a One-table tourney. I usually play the one-table (9 players) 250 (Play) Dollar buy-in. Without too much trouble, I can make it into the money of the final three. Today I was chip leader and everybody went all in, me with trip 8's. Blew me away that an 8 came on the river. HAAA! So much for their Full Houses.
So I've read a couple of books and biographies. Annie Duke's was pretty fascinating.
She gave up a doctorate program in psycho-linquistics (how we learn languages) to play poker, because the stress of college was killing her stomach. She started playing poker in Billings Montana and cleaned up 'cause those good-ol'-boy cowboys weren't gonna let a girl beat 'em. She's now the top female money winner at the WSOP and one of the top players in the world. And cute too, for a mother of 4!
So I'm running the show up in Beloit tonight. I think Saturday is Photocall, so I may have some pics to post from that. Again, if I ever get to a hot spot for a length of time.
