poker and republican bashing
sooo, i went on facebook where i have upteen million friends and asked them to read the previous blog and give me their thoughts. none did. so much for that. apparently i have shrunk to about 5 readers but what the hell, i do this more for me and rhonda than anything else. it is sort of a daily diary and probably will just concentrate on poker with a little bit of rebulican bashing just for fun.
speaking of which: did you read the republican "alternate budget" proposal? brilliant. these people have no clue of what middle america (dat's you and me) want or need. to wit: they propose to cut the taxes of the WEALTHY so that the ceo's of wall street and the banks would pay a much lower rate on their already obscene pay packages. boy, that will resound with american workers! then they propose freezing all discreationary spending which has historically shown to be very important in lifting the country out of recession. no sense in expanding say, unemployment for instance, let us eat cake. and to top it off they want much higher premiums for the elderly on medicare. not only are the republicans heartless they are clueless and soon will be only a force in the intellectual wilderness of alabama, georgia, south carolina, arkansas and louisiana. with some folk in kansas, nebraska and montana coming along. the rest of america will go about their business and just ignore them.
in poker today, i had a woman who has a very slow learning curve (probably republican) i won three huge pots from her when she called my very large bets. first one, i had a set of tens on the turn and she had the nut flush...but didn't raise my little 15 dollar bet. board pairs on river. she pays off 75 dollars. next, there is a raise to 8 dollars and i and 6 others call. i have a pair of 6's. the flop comes 6-3-J. player number one who was in blind bets 50 dollars into a 56 dollar pot. everyone folds except this lady. i raise to 100 dollars and orginal player folds but she calls. turn is a blank and i go all in and she calls and shows a pair of queens. after she rebuys again and ten minutes goes by and i am now in small blind. there are 5 callers plus bb already in...i look down and there are aces. I raise to 20 dollars and everyone except her folds. flop comes Q-7-3. I bet 75 dollars and she goes all in, showing me a queen-ten suited. i show her the aces and take the pot. she leaves then and the dealer, who has been there for two of these hands, says "that woman just won't learn will she?" i said, "i hope not."
so that's it for today.
peace for us all.

As a Georgian for Obama, it's quite embarrassing that our state was the first to get onboard for Bush in 2004. Looking at some of my friends' Facebook activities, I'm baffled that they are still in lockstep with the Palin/Republican club.
However that only tells 52% of the story. There another 47 or 48% in Georgia who realize what's going on, and we don't any credit.
