Not much to report from this weekend, no "fake" costume party invites, but did manage to get a few poker sessions in and was winner in both. Also, looks like another victory in Fantasy Football, unfortunately the losing party this weekend was none other than State Street (aka Tedman)! Actually, he still has a chance to pull from behind tonight, that is if Tom Brady can score about 75 points for him in Monday Night Football against the Vikings!
I've been putting in more hours playing online lately, trying to keep a regular schedule of Tuesday and Thursday night play. I won my first 9 player, single table Omaha Hi/Lo tournament online last week, too! The $320 buy-in paid $1350 for 1st place. Omaha is played like Hold-em, but you get four hole cards (instead of two) and you must play two and only two of your hole cards and three and only three of the five community cards, add in the Hi/Lo variance and now you are talking about high hand winning half the pot and low hand winning half the pot, but you have to have five cards lower than an 8 without making a flush or straight to have a low. It requires a lot more thinking and is considered by many to be a tougher game, but I still prefer No Limit Hold-em!
Next month is the Trump Classic at the Taj and I will be staying in a Rock Star Suite next door at the House of Blues. I think we should set up a night on the town with some fellow bloggers like CNN, Tedman, AKJN and Chuck if he is allowed in AC!

Hasn't Ted lost pretty much every week this season? Poor guy!
How do you like plying online vs. sitiing at a table with your opponents?
Totally in for some AC action with you...what are the dates?
I'll have to let you know what dates might work as I don't want to hit it too hard the night before an event I'm playing. Last time I did that with Bill and Richie and after going to bed at 7:30 am and starting the event at noon, I was beat going in. The Trump tourney runs from Nov. 27 through Dec. 17 so it might even be December we have to do it if that still works, but I'll let you know as soon as I can.
Only good thing about online is twice as many hands per hour, you miss out on all the technical stuff like reading the opponent, etc.
Oh, I'm allowed in AC.
Just not in the casino's. It's what we refer to as the "tourette's night".
FYI-pollyanna is 12/8-12/9, so I request we do it after that :)
Maybe Chuck can wear a wig!
It would be the only way you'd ever see me with any hair....
who's this guy on the railing?
do we know him?
no kidding-who the heck are those people? is that in the Taj?
time to update the w/end update.
looks like pp folded
