Team Bammer.... FTW!

The night over at FullTilt, started as most of them do.
I drag my first pot with The Bammer.


(soooooted feels soooo dirty!)

Then in the natural progression of NLHE, I drag another pot of blinds.


In style too no?

Naturally as things seem to go for me, I lose a race with slick up against a Gretzky from one of Amir's players.

Then I see big slick one more time. "Go big or........


go home!"

I can't thank each of you enough for making it such a great, and VERY enjoyable night.

Uber congrats to Jo!


Maybe there really IS something very special about that, "Dank position?"

:p

Thanks kids!

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

Break even....

My friend Amir and I held a little game.

If you weren't there, you may have missed the best of the best on fire! If you were there, you may just know exactly what it is I think about you.

It's a blog and I know, I'm supposed to write like all clever and shit. If you've actually ever read here, you'll know I'm incapable for certain.

My heartfelt thanks go out to each of you that came out to make my 55 minutes so very much fun. 55 minutes that turned into just about let's say, around 3 hours or so shall we.

The story, the love links and most of all the great BS, will all have to wait for another day.

What a frickin' night!

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

"T" minus, about 3 hours....

Team Bammer is shaping up nicely for tonights big game.



Right now as it stands, it looks like there will be 14 on team Bammer and 3 fighting it out for the honour of Amir's Pokerwit site. I have to say, I like my odds!

I could use a few more on the team though, just to shore up the deal a tad. So if you have nothing on the go tonight at 9:00pm ET, I'm always looking for more talent for the team!

See you there!

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

My team RAWKS.... 'cept 4 U

Well "team Bammer" seems to be shaping up nicely, I guess.

If you count all those really good poker players and crap.

What I need though, is a few of the "wild cards."

You know the type! The ones that really piss you off, 'cause they play just like YOU!

Monday night, 9:00 PM Eastern.

You're either on my team, or you sucks!


My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

Frantic Friday: The "Double D" Edition....(NSFW)

I know, I KNOW.

Bad blogger, BAD BLOGGER!

I've let our Frantic Friday's slide a bit and I'm sorry. Sometimes though, life just gets in the way. Chalk it up to living the dream.

It's not easy being Bammer you know?

So I promised a friend I'd make him a unique Frantic Friday and you know what? Here in Bedrock we live by the motto that,


You folks know me. Normally I'd be all about something like

But I sense Pokah Dave is apparently all about the


When you have a pal like double D, you do what you can to help him understand that there's nothing more important in life, than understanding the need to learn to

I'll die pretty damn happy the day I find the

But my man double D wants to see some exceptional


Who am I to disappoint?

I'll give DD this, a great pair can make for some awesome cleavage! Don't believe me? Well then,


Yes double D, I know you truly believe it's all about breasts


Good for you too!

I mean, a man's gotta' believe in something worth while right?

I just happen to run with a slightly different desire OK?

I mean, there are a few other

Did I ever mention the


NO!

I'm not 100% positive or anything, but I believe in my heart of hearts that she's trying to send me some sort of message.


I don't know, what do you kids think?

:p

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

Some help with a prop bet please....

Okay friends, Bammer needs your help!

And right off the top, it’s a guy thing!
There, I said it.

I know all too well that dozens of the readers here are female, but lacking all the fun bits myself, I can only speak from the male perspective and in my mind; it’s a guy thing all the way!

Since the discovery of our ability to throw rocks and swing clubs, guys have always had something to fight about. Hell once we discovered how to fight, we went looking for things so that we could. A woman, (<=== best reason on the planet to fight IMHO!) food, shelter or even just a little space to call our own, if it could be had, guys were going to go out and fight for it. The nature of the beast and all.

As infants, the introduction of a toy was always a great catalyst. Throw the cool toy between two boys and hang on, something big was definitely going to happen. Eventually it swings to a war of words, rather than a knock down drag out brawl. It doesn’t really matter what the words being used are, as long as you can one up your little buddy over there.

My Dad can beat up your Dad.
My teacher is better than your teacher.
My Hockey Mom will kick your Soccer Moms butt.

Then a switch occurs at adolescence, the toy itself becomes the fight! Bicycles, soap box cars, bats and balls it’s all the same. Less violent than fighting for the toy, guys become competitive through the toy itself.

I can go faster than you.
I can hit it further or more often than you.
I scored more whatever’s than you.

It’s a timeline through history that has been repeated over and over again. The subjects and toys will always change as we go through the motions, but boys will always be boys!

I mention this to you today, as I find myself deep into this exact situation!

My pal Amir and I started to get things going through our passion for Poker.

We should get a game someday.
Sure uh…. STUD? ( typical tendency to swing things in my favour! )
NLHE! ( Note the re-twist to his advantage! )
Uh Amir, you’re kinda’ like a Poker Pro in NLHE.
C’mon Bammer! You are learning and besides, it’ll be fun!

Being a guy, I felt like I was losing the battle here! That can only lead to the one known guy trait that has remained for all time.

Oh yeah!
I may not be any good at NLHE, but I bet my friends can beat your friends!

And now, here we are today. Two grown men who by the way, very proudly call each other friend, both looking for some other friends to do battle with. We’re calling it,

The Pokerwit vs. Bam Bloggers Challenge.

One week from right now, Monday August 30th at 9:00pm ET on FullTilt, there will be a private game for a $5.50 buy-in. It's being held just to settle the score between the two of us.

It will break down to my blogging friends vs. Amir and his Pokerwit gang.

The key here is, I believe Amir has five pros registered at the site where as I my friends, (who are really awesome at NLHE BTW !!! ) have ALL of you! With any luck at all, I see a serious advantage for me! Oh sure, Amir will bring several others from the site no doubt but hey! I HAVE ALL OF YOU!

Our private side bets on last longers knock outs and team performance will remain just that, private!

BUT…. And this is a pretty important but!

Amir is so confident that I’ll lose, he’s juicing the overall prize pool with $200 of his own American, ( surely ill gotten through some donkey player like me! ) dollars. Basically doubling the prize pool should forty or so of my closest and dearest friends, ( who by the way ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT NLHE! ) decide to jump aboard my team.

I should also clarify at this point that besides what we have going on the side, there is NO COMPENSATION coming my way from this event at all. (unless I fluke into the money) This quite seriously, is nothing more than two good friends doing what they are always want to do. CHALLENGE one another. No angle, no profit and no one but friends. I know I can’t do the $50,000 in WSOP seats and the like, but I try to do what I can for my friends. If you play with the Pokerwit site and like it, let someone else know or possibly even put up a brief review. That would be great and I know Amir would appreciate the support. BUT NO PRESSURE! If you don’t like what you see, you’re some of the best I know at the game and I’m quite certain Amir would also like to hear about that.

Like I mentioned earlier this will be a private event, so here’s how to get in.

The Pokerwit vs. Bam Bloggers Challenge.

Monday August 30th at 9:00pm ET on FullTilt
P/W = Bammir

I'm already there, so player search and help me out!


Here’s the other thing in my favour kiddies, Amir’s also going to let you have access to his “Pro’s hands section” that he normally charges a fee for. That means you can get the gist of who you’re playing against, BEFORE you play them! He’d only give me a week for you to do this though so PLEASE!!!! Take full advantage and prove me right! Register at the Pokerwit site, (YES It's FREE!) under your FT name and type in Bam-Bam as your referrer.

Once you’re in

The Pokerwit vs. Bam Bloggers Challenge,

access to the pro section will be granted in just about 24 hrs. for a one week period.

So my friends, (TOTALLY INCLUDING the BEST NLHE players I know, that just happen to have all the fun bits that I like so much! ) let’s do this shall we? I’ll tell you what, I’ll even throw a buy-in bounty on Amir. Knock him out and I’ll ship you the $5.50. Just e-mail me the bust out hand screen cap for my "brag" post about you and the bounty will be on it's way.

It’s on now Amir my friend.
It's SOOOOOOOO ON !

Oh and by the way……..
My Poker players will beat up your Poker players!


Two brudders against 10 Pokerwits, U R TOAST!

:p

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

Congratulations, you've been chosen....

So get you azz in gear and buy a copy!



Buy it HERE, then tell your friends!

I sensed him before I saw him. I always do. I was just sitting there, minding my own business, playing a little blackjack when I felt his presence over my right shoulder.

“Hi Lucky.”

“Big A.”

I hate that. He always has to go there right away. And he’s supposed to be subtle. Ass.




My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

You should do Josie....


Just ignore the whole "first" Wednesday of the month thing.
She is a chick after all right?

:p

I'll be honest, I'm 50/50 at best.

But you should play and as Josie says, "play smart."

With even a small modicum of luck, I'll see you there.

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

As a human('ish)....

We occasionally....

scare the crap out of me!

Just thought I'd share that.

Putting the CAN in Canadian....

Being back in a world full of "school nights" and alarm clocks actually being used, is a rather strange and yet exciting place for me right now. After two days of what can best be described as orientation or perhaps more accurately, familiarization with the companies goals and plans, I gotta' say, I'm wound like a top!

I see :

Determination
Perseverance
Opportunity
Humility
Family

and perhaps best of all,

Genuine care and concern for everyones happiness and success, wherever life may take whomever it is on the go at the time.

In other words, a very productive Mom & Pop shop with a lovely yet serious, Canadian flare.

Two days!
Just TWO FRIGGIN' DAYS and you know what?
I think I just found my calling kids.

Energy and desire have never left the thing between my ears. You know, the thing that controls the actions I choose to take or not so much. But something about this opportunity has me all in a tizzy about potential and success, like not much before it came along.

I really miss buying Canadian because of our lack of choices, courtesy of the WalMart mentality. A theme driven so deep into modern culture that even the bargain giant themselves, can't keep up with the pressure to sell cheaper and cheaper. But you know what? By the time I'm through with this little project, I hope you'll all see that you really don't have much of a choice any more!

Rock on Ma and Pa!
This kid's about to take you to a whole new level.

Oh and one other thing.
Did I mention that the love of my life just also happens to work for this place?

A career with perks!
Ya, I continue to run good.

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

Been there, done that....

So I walk downstairs to find my Peb's sitting at an online poker game, nothing really new there right?

"Uh hun, a $1 game.... really?"

"There's some guy that has an avatar that looks like the guy from the EPT game we watched last night, I thought I'd give it a go."

Play with a FullTilt Pro, been there!

Take most of his chips,


done that!
Oh and by the way,



She got the T-Shirt!
