The Chop

I was in a rather interesting poker tournament on Thursday night.  Of course, I made the final table.  I am just that good.

And, of course, we sit down and there is immediate talk of a chop.  I have decided that these chops suck.  I am not dealing.  Play the game.  OR is the chop part of the game?  I am not sure.  But for now, I am not chopping.

What does it take to make an IM?

I am a curious person.  I am curious about everything and everyone.

I want to know, to understand, the technology behind instant messaging.

What is involved?

Tumbleweeds

I am so accustomed to seeing a big tumbleweed blowing across the road as I drive home at night that I don't even really think anything of it.

I was doing some random browsing a stumbled upon lots of website that are selling tumbleweed for hundreds of dollars.

Who is buying tumbleweed????

Wash With Joe Body Wash

Wash With Joe Body Wash
looks like an interesting body wash.  It is a "blend of coffee and mint".  And apparently it "helps revitalize the body and mind.

It's $24 a bottle.

I don't even drink coffee but this looks like something I would buy.

Blackjack Tournaments

I play in a lot of Blackjack tournaments. I find them to be really fun. I like the human element of it.

I like that people are stupid, Ireally do. They don't put any strategy into it! How dumb can people be?

I think at times they think I am stupid for maybe doing something like hitting on 19. But why not take the dealer's bust card! Hello! It is a competition.

And then they want me to be nice? Why? This isn't social hour. This is a tournament!

Random Rule of Gambling

Think out all the options.

Last night I think I could won a blackjack tournament if I would have only bet half my stack instead of betting it all.  I went all in with a good shot of winning first.  I need to split.

Think out all the options.
