Geilfuss, on his brilliant blog, mentioned recently that he had been playing online poker where the blinds were .01/.02 cents. I have played a little online poker myself from time to time and didn't know there existed tables with the blinds that low. Well, I was checking out Full Tilt a few minutes ago, and noticed that they do indeed offer such tables for the lowest of the low cheap degenerates out there. In fact, I laid out a dollar myself on one of these tables and have been enjoying how life and death these dudes are about a game where the guy with the biggest bankroll has $4.17. It would make the Jacobys proud.
Some of you may be wondering why I'm spending Christmas afternoon sitting by myself blogging and goofing around with online poker. And the answer is this - I'm passing the time and I don't think the bars have opened yet (it's only 12:30).
I did get a picture text from Andy at about 9:30 this morning that showed Mary going wild when she opened the gift I sent her. I promised last week to keep readers updated on this gift. I can now reveal that I sent Mary a bobblehead, a bobblehead of our fake leader, Barack Hussein Obama. Mary's a fan of old Barry's, and I'm not totally insensitive to everything, so I was nice and sent her a Barry bobblehead. Ho, Ho, Ho!
Brandon left a comment after yesterday's post concerning the fact that Ray Small has been ruled out of the Rose Bowl for violation of team rules. And Ray has been in Coach Tressel's doghouse off and on for his entire career, so it's no great surprise that that this has gone down before what was supposed to be Ray's swan song in college football. One, being without Small will somewhat hurt the Buckeyes chances in Pasadena. And two, whoever gets Ray next year to return kicks for them in the NFL, will have a lethal weapon to spring on coverage teams. Lethal.
Poker Update! I have, in the last half hour, increased my initial bankroll by 17 times. YES! I now have $17.03!!! Geilfuss would be proud. So damn proud. Maybe I should cash out and buy 3 packs of smokes...
One thing to note for all the poker players out there (I'm sure Geilfuss is already well aware of this) is that at these micro blind tables, guys will go all in before the river card on a draw. It's too easy.
Another poker update! I am now up to $31.14!!! 2 idiots just went all in on flush draws and I had a full house before the river card (5's over 3's). Unbelievably stupid.
I also have the old TV on and Bad Santa is being aired, but in a highly edited version. And it's totally pointless to watch without the cursing. Ridiculous.
Okay, even I'm getting bored of this post. Thanks for indulging me as always. To all my faithful readers in Maryland, Ohio, Georgia, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and wherever else - have a great Christmas day!
Peace - TBFH
