Poker Cruise
 Well, Jesse and I are finally back in Napa after spending a couple of days on the beach in LA. Needless to say, we needed a bit of wind down time after 7 days at sea.
The poker cruise was a lot of fun. We would spread some tournaments, then have a couple of 1-2 no limit games, and a 3-6 structured game here and there. After we shut down the poker room, it was a night of drinking and dancing at the top of the ship. I played several times and did pretty good for the whole trip. My bar tab came to 500 dollars, which was not the record for one person in our party...lol.
I will be posting soon the results of my wins and losses.
I'll be back in Spokane Friday, and back to the daily grind at BD's.
Talk to you all soon!
Daryl

Absolute Poker
 Wow. I have been reading a thread at pocketfives.com and Jared "TheWacoKidd" Hamby has posted a very interesting claim of cheating on Absolute. If you would like to check it out follow this:

I tend to believe their claims but I hope it is all some kind of joke, because the potential bad press this could recieve if it blows up could be terrible for the legal future of online poker.

Taking Time
 I have not posted of late. Have not been playing for money. Taking time to study. I'm a new player and when I look at my stats I'm not happy. I got the one AC win and that put me in the black. But my other performances need much to be desired. So I am taking time off. Being new to the game I find this time off a good thing. I read books, play sit and goes for play money so I get some poker practice,(which I think might be the only way to get poker practice for play money. All the rest is nonsense.) and I just bought wilson's simulator and when that comes I will see what I can glean from that. I guess what I'm saying is taking time, especially for one new to the game, is important. Take time to look at your game and plug holes. In the long run I do not see how it can do any harm.

POKER IDIOTS
It really is amazing what you come across in the poker world these days. I was dealing tonight, was expecting to get of at about 12:30 AM, but noooooooo. The inevitable occurred. To of the most moronic poker players decided to play a few hands heads up. I will not say any names to protect the idiots, I mean innocent!
One player was a newer player that went through one of my old students dealer school. Basically he has the itch and doesn't know when to quit. I don't think he even made it through the class.
The other player was just a stone cold donkey, who donates when he comes in, and always stiffs the dealers.
It's pretty sad when you have to prompt for blinds and control the action in a HEADS UP game! So, I just gave in, and they figured it out on there own.
Now, my co-worker and I are probably the two fastest dealers on staff, so what the hell, rake the shit out of the game. Not once did they ask for a rake reduction, or commented on where the chips were going.
Player one started out with 280 in chips, player two with just around 200. Once player two went bust, an hour and fifteen minutes later, player one cashed out for 250. Yes, we raked 230...some tips from player 2, in 1:15! They both didn't have a clue, and it was actually fun taking that much money in rake for the house, as the poker room has been a bit slow lately.
Just thought I would share with you guys, hope you like my story!

School
I have started school again so my days of entering every small buy in tourny Full Tilt runs during the day are over. I hope I will have the chance to play some tourneys during the weekends but I may not be on much other than a few live games here with some friends, and the weekly free tournament the poker "club" runs. Hopefully fall break gets here soon so I can waste away a few days making final tables again (the term again used kind of loosely lol)....good luck anyone who happens to read this.

i mean... i hate bitching, bitching about beats is one of the most annoying things in the world... but when you're having the worst result night of your life
and then you suffer that one spot off from the money, about to make a big double up... guy bluffs totally into your made hand and he hits a runner miracle... things like that are what make people think it's rigged
like, i've been bad beaten before... but just over, and over, and over when you're getting in a position to amke a big move... it just blows my mind
meanwhile, i keep getting monster pre-flop hands at my cash table taht i can't translate into a huge pot yet
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On line poker
It is becoming more obvious that when you play on-line-poker you are up against aggression. A bunch of youth that never worked a day in their life and to them money is just something you can get whenever you need it. "Don't tell me this may be a job!"
I am thinking more of getting away from on line. I see more luck then I see skill. I moved up in blinds at one point and I saw more poker, however my bank could only allow me to stay at small blinds as of late. I'm sure others recognize the difference between on line and other forms of poker. Maybe you have a different style to play against it. I am new to the game. I have only been playing poker for 8 months or so for money, other then that I never knew the game.
It is even hard to hone your skills at poker on line. It's like playing for play money to learn real money play. Two different animals!
