Poker
Well hell...........
It's been a lousy few weeks, and I really don't know if I'm running bad or playing bad. I have been playing 85% LIMIT Hold 'em for about 3 weeks now, with less than sterling results. I have never claimed LIMIT is a game I was an expert at, but I thought for sure I was at least a break even player. Obviously playing a game that isn't your best can seem somewhat foolish, but with the bonus situation the way it is at Interpoker, it still seems the way to go. It has only been about 800 hands at 2/4 LIMIT and down about 150.00, so it's not the end of the world, but it does give one pause. I suppose if I had more confidence in LIMIT, I wouldn't even be writing about it.
Unlike many players and bloggers, I enjoy Razz...I gave it as good a shot as I could on Friday night, playing three satellites for the WCOOP, but never getting close enough to talk about. I got pretty deep in one of them, but I went in 2 or 3 times with what looked to be great hands, but had the worst of it every time. When I have A3 hidden with a 5 up, I sure as hell can't be worrying about A2 hidden by the villain!! On the good days, those hands work, on the bad days you just shake your head.
I had a little PLO fun today, as the boys from BTP and I got together for a little tournament fun. I enjoy all poker games, but I have to say PLO is in the middle of my already mediocre skill set. I came in 2nd, which means the deck smacked me in the face when it was important. I had a few hands, so it was fun not folding all the time...
Cookng and Food
Jesus, I have been on a food rampage! I have no idea why, as I am rarely hungry (damn good thing), but it has been like a drug...I will spare you all the details (and the recipes), but I now have a reduced meat stock (semi-demi) in the freezer, as well as pork stock. The espagnole (It's a mother sauce---look it up if you care) is bubbling at the moment...
I took all the remnants of stock making and was trying to figure out something to make...
AHA!! Pate! So naturally I had to go to the store for some chicken liver (and beer), but I have to say that it came out great. Any Pate is ridiculously rich, so I had a few bites and put the rest in the freezer, where it will probably get thrown out in a few months.
I just received pretty cool news, as my buddy from LV will be visiting me tomorrow. I haven't seen him in a couple years, so it should be fun. I plan on staying with him on my next to Sin City, which looks to be taking place in mid-November...
