poker streak comes to an end and what is obama thinking?
all good things come to end and today i lost a grand sum total of 65 dollars. i made a 40 dollar mistake and the rest was just 9-3 followed by 6-2 followed by Q-4 followed by......blinded out basically. that's alright, it happens and when i saw that it just wasn't going to be my day and, on top of that, it was a very dangerous table i got up and left and came home to pick up dog shit. from shit to shit, so to speak.
i am becoming very concerned about some of the nominees that the president has put forth because of their ties to the very companies that got us into this mess. his latest, gary gensler to be chairman of the COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION is a point in fact. he played a central role in blocking regulations for some of the exotic financial instruments used for hedging. also he spent 18 years at GOLDMAN SACHS. hmmmm
BERNIE SANDERS tried to block the nomination pointing out that sanders had worked with phil gramham to except CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS from regulation. it is those very things that brought down AIG. he also worked to deregulate electric energy swaps which is what our boys at ENRON were doing. what in the fuck is obama thinking?
he keeps putting men into place that were knee deep in the shit. what is he thinking. have we been fooled again? is obama just a spokesperson for the huge financial institutions? i certainly hope not. but facts are facts and crooks are crooks and deregulators are the enemy of the common man and the ally of wall street and all that implies. man oh man. we shall see but my concern is growing.

By playing super tight like you recommend, I've been averaging around $1500 per week over the past few months playing the small no limit games at the Commerce Club. You are so right, the idiots will still pay you off. Imagine what I could do playing against the Las Vegas tourists!
In fact, I'm planning a weekend trip to Vegas around the end of April, and will try to come see your show at the Tropicana. I definitely want to play some poker while in town, and was wondering if you could recommended the best rooms to play at.
you won't be able to see me at the trop because that room closed after 18 years! bummer. trop did not renew their contract but we all had seen the possibility of this happening. i have other gigs here in town but not in april.
mgm, mandalay bay and venetian are where i play and, as of right now, i like the venetian the best, games are very good with just the right mix of tourists and locals and the tables are big and chairs are comfy. free coffee, dollar and hour comps (not much good for a short time visitor but for locals that adds up) and great food served at tables.
Thanks, Ron. I'll check out the Venetian when I come to town. Please let me know where else you might be performing.
