Is that how you play?

21 years ago yesterday my baby brother was born. Yes 21 years ago, as in he can now walk around the corner in a casino or a drinking establishment holding a beverage of alcoholic content legally. While it does make me feel a little old, I am glad to see him grow up into a great adult. So for his birthday we took him to Lake Tahoe for a little gambling and a little drinking. The weekend was very nice, I even played a little poker. It has been a while since I played. I stopped playing primarily because of the Poker BOOM and I got so tired of everyone talking about it and thinking they know how to play because they saw Phil Ivey do it on TV. Anywhoo I played a little live poker and I also played in a tournament. I can handle losing when I am outplayed, or another player gets lucky and I catch a bad beat. What I cant handle is Johnny Dorm Room player regurgitate every cliche poker term in the book to me. For the record, I know
-I can only play the cards dealt to me. Thanks for the amazing update, I could have sworn I could have played with your cards.

-A Chip and a Chair. This is the worst one, because people only say it when you are short stacked, and then they feel compelled to tell you. HEY I KNOW.

AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

-Hey good hand I just got lucky, excuse me Mr. Idiot poker player, I know you got lucky, I called your bluff with A-5 suited and you had J-5 off suit and you caught a Jack on the flop. Like usual I played it right and I went down in a blaze, but thanks for alerting me to the fact that you got lucky, I truly thought you outplayed me!!!!

side notes
----------------
-Its amazing to me how a person can go to a little vacation for only two days and feel like the world has passed him by multiple times. I think this might have to do with the fact that A. You cant use your cell phone in the sports book or while gambling at any table. and B. Our hotel rooms TV was screwed up and our ESPN didn't work. either way I came home and was like what...............Matt Cain is up, Matt Lawton got traded, Hurricanes, its not hot anymore, and i like avocados now? WHAT THE HECK!!!

-The one thing that irritates me more than anything in the world is when you are with another person or a group and as a group no one can make a decision. I understand that my girlfriend is going to be like that, they have been for 10 years now. "where do you want to go for dinner love?" " I don't care wherever, you pick" (equally as irritating) But when a group of people cant come up with a decision it breaks the group apart and everyone starts to get irritated. So next time you are in a group and you cant make a decision just tell them what you want. I WANT MEXICAN FOOD...........lets go. Take charge Spartacus style!!!
