We are Moved In

I am moved in but a long way from settled. I continue my self exclusion from online poker for at least 30 more days, I needed the break because lord knows I have enough going on in my life. I did play in the "Big Slick" at Riverwind last Sunday. This was a $300 buyin event that had 196 entrants, unfortunately I couldn't get anything going, lost most of my stack with a M of less than 10 when I push pocket fours in LP to 3 limper and the UTG limp called with his AA. I busted out the next orbit in about 90th when my KQ<KJ all in pre.

I promise to get some photos up soon, I just have to find the box that has the camera in it.

Future Cowboy and House Update - No Poker Here

I have to do a Fatherly Brag, while Baylor has been to many OSU games, this was the first time he dressed the part.





I have also had a few request for a house update, as you can see we are moving along at warp speed. Definitely on schedule for Christmas move in.

House Update and Poker Crack!

We are Framing. Here is the view from the Front




Here is a view from the across the pond looking at the back


I played poker crack ($70/5 300 chip Super Turbos) last night and OMG! It makes our poosh fest look tight. Holy geez! I got lucky with cards, and double up with KK vs A10 and the stacked another dude when I re-raised him all in with my AK vs his AQ. At that point I had 1500 of the 2700 chips in played. I pretty much auto folded to the bubble and then I lost a race when called an all in with my A10 on the button. This brought all 4 of us to about the same, I then woke up with JJ and busted the bubble and the other guy busted the 3rd place. I still had about a 2 to 1 chip lead and dispatched him pretty quickly. I will take the $315 profit, since I used the FPP points to win the $26 toke and then parlayed it into the $75 toke. Now I just need to do that about 3 more times I will erase this weekends meltdown. Ahh but that is another story.

And so it begins -

We broke ground yesterday. Here is the view looking at the front of the house.



This is the view from the side rear of the back yard.



Now of course it is raining today so we have a nice mud lot.

House Tilt

Well Monday is the big day, the dreaded Closing on the new house. I just still can't get over the fact that we are closing on house that hasn't even broken ground yet. Well here are the plans and the final elevation.


Next year during Okie-Vegas we will have to incorporate a party by this.

TOC n and House Tilt

First of all didn't play in the M00K last night, I just needed a mental break before the big TOC this weekend. Speaking of TOC, I want to wish all my fellow competitors good luck except against me. I will be especially pulling for the fellow Okie Vegas participants surflexus and iam23skidoo and while I am pimping support I will give a shout to cmitch since he is the only other TOC er I have met in person. This will be a tough field and I look forward to seeing who will join me in winning the other seat.


Man I am in house tilt. Wife and I have decided to build a new house and just like everything I else I do I become consumed in it. We will be breaking ground before the end of the month and if every thing goes well we should get to spend Christmas in the new house. What has me on tilt is the fact that since this is new construction and the builder is a friend of ours he wants to do a "one time close" and what this means is we have to close on the new house before construction begins. So no WSOP for me since all funds are tied up until we sell our current house which wont be on the market until next month. Oh well.


I will be publishing the results of my Bank Roll abuse at the end of next week. If you haven't filled out the 4 question survey please do so and also if you could pimp it so we could get a little better statistically survey I would appreciate it.

I leave you with this piece of advice, if you are going to get drunk in a Mexican Border Town don't drive especially when there is a bike race going on.
