Corrections, Retractions, and Omissions
While I'm sitting in Minneapolis and enjoying the holiday mood, I thought I'd get some things cleared up and share some other notes:
Correction: In a pre-Vegas post, I noted that BG smelled. I apologize for the confusion, as BG thought I was referring to his olfactory abilities. What I meant was, "The eerie haze that surrounds BG as he sits at his computer desk resembles that of dead fish being picked apart by vultures bathed in raw sewage."
That and I lost money playing his horses... a whopping 7 dollars (or for those keeping track, 49.3% of my bankroll).
Omissions: Yeah, all I really can give you people is a Vegas trip report, and I totally copped out. I officially suck ass. My favorite hate mail for this so far belongs to a non-blogger who I played with at MGM with, who found my blog and sent me this IM:
dude, i am SO disappointed... we share an hour or two at 4/8 half kill at the MGM, argue about KTo UTG and its value in that game, I impress you with my knowledge of the 91 Twins. I complain about Full Tilt poker to you when you obviously don't care, then you give me this blog. Then I check it religiously to see me chronicled in INFAMY, and I get a philisophical nugget about Disneyland after 3 weeks of waiting.
To add to the notes that weren't included above, we never had a kill pot that got past pre-flop and the play was as fishy as one would expect in a 4/8 game. I almost felt like I was there killing time and sharing conversation than I was playing poker. My hands pretty much played themselves and never felt the need to get stupid or tricky. I left down two dollars, but we were having a hilarious time trading movie and sports trivia. The writer of the above note kept up with me at a really scary rate and I can take heart that I am *not* the only one that believes the '91 Series to be the greatest of all time.
Omission: CJ has been replaced by Dr. Chako as the Pokergeek's Official Luckbox. Pocket Aces 5 times in the first two hours of the big tournament, knocking out me *and* the Geekette. Well done sir. He got a nice hat for his efforts. I got a lecture for not picking up on his red-flag-IVE-GOT-ACES acting show from the SB.
Correction: Despite earlier sentiment, I do not know how to play poker. But I play one on the internet.
