poker and plans
i am running really good at poker and i am doing so by being super tight. i have had people tell me that since i am so tight that people will not call me when i raise or bet because of my table image. WRONG! for instance, i had been at the table for several hours and was up big when this hand happened....i raise to 17 with aces and am called in two places. flop comes Q, 5, 7 rainbow. they check and i bet 50 dollars and am called by one guy. next card is a 2. he checks and i bet 75 dollars and he goes all in with his last 100. i call. he has QJ and i take the pot. earlier in the day i had raised with jacks and spiked a jack on the flop against two opponents but the board was dangerous. Tc, Jh Kh. ace queen or 9-Q and they have a straight and, of course there is the heart draw. I bet 60 dollars into a 50 dollar pot and get called in both places. hmmmm. turn is 7c putting two flush plus another straight. they check, i bet 75 dollars and both call. well, shit. river is perfect, the 2 of clubs, they check and so do i and they were both on a draw.
the great advantage of 1-2 no limit hold-em is the quality of your opponents which is poor. like i have said before, i am not out to make tens of thousands of dollars per month; i am out to make a grand or so every month. i am not trying to win a lot of hands; i looking to win a couple of real big hands. slow and easy and super tight will do the trick at low limit no limit.
on to another subject; the more i read about the people and companies that got us into this position the more i realize that it is many people and many companies and they all seem to be inter-related. larry summers in the clinton administration lead the way to deregulate. gaithner (sp) is right in there with him. citibank, goldman sachs, aig, bank of america. peas in a fucking pod. we have foxes guarding the hen house. we are so fucked.
all of us better batten down the hatches and start making some plans of what to do if everything does go to shit which it very well may. i have poker and a small ss check and rhonda can always do individual taxes, that is assuming that somebody still has a job. also, i know how to hustle by buying some little thing that i can sell and double or triple my money on it; whether it be peace buttons or pool cues that double as a walking stick (hey heather). we also have a very low mortgage payment that we should always be able to cover. and if all else fails, i have a brother in law up in nebraska who has a small farm that grows enough food for several families and he also is a hunter and has always brought home fresh game. he has told rhonda and me that if it all goes down, we are to scoot on up there and we will ride it out together. so we have plans, a, b, c and d.
fear and loathing in america brothers and sisters. fear and loathing.
