In quite typical fashion I:
1) got in 2 hours of work
2) got in slightly better than an hour of chat with Peb's
3) got caught up with Barney for an hour or so
4) managed to make significant changes to my invesment portfolio
All in the 3 little hours before the 8:00PM, (local) Dank.
Then 8:12PM local hit.

I'll spare you the actual details but let's just say, it ain't easy playing bad Poker like me, when the geeks have it in for you!
I resorted to jamming A-A the only three times I held it, due to disconnects. I was merely hoping to stay alive.
Natch, only to win the blinds.
Connectivity variance.
Who knew?
My sincerest thanks for dropping by....
BADUGI, WHAT did I expect....
RAMBLER catches his miracle, despite three bets from a stand pat and drawing 2 cards, every chance he had.
Three times.
TBA prolly has a good hand, despite drawing 3 to start.
Not much makes me feel better about being me, than a little get together like tonight.
BADUGI?
YA......
I SUCK at it!
But then again, did I expect anything else?

It's rare that a Blogger game isn't NLHE.
FAR more rare with the exception of CEM's SKILLZ series, that a Blogger game outside of the NLHE realm is one that I am considerably familiar with.
During a rather large part of my career in several locations in Asia, I taught the Crazian's STUD. In return, they did their best to increase my knowledge of a fairly interesting variation of Poker known to them, as Badugi.
Now of course they called it Padooki, or 바둑이 for short.
The game's tonight at 9:30 EST and on FullTilt.
You think RAZZ can be frustrating?
This should be good.
I'm already entered as BamBamCan.
You can player search and use the P/W survivor to get in.

TWEET this....
Today, as I always do, I took the time to make my daily rounds.
You know, stop by every blog I can't wait to read daily.
In 2008 this process, if it was an excellent day, may take up to 3.5 hours to complete.
Well today, it took exactly 4 mins. & 51 seconds.
I know, I know!
I ain't exactly lighting the intertubles up myself right now.
BUT!
I'm,
1) 1700 miles from home
2) living out of a Hotel
and
3) on just week #3 of a new career.
Excuses?
Yeah, possibly.
What's yours?
I judge not, lest I be judged myself.
But FWIW, I can't help sayin' I miss us.

Damn KAT'S....
I was hoping to be in Calgary this weekend with a few lucious friends. Instead at, (give or take) 11:00PM local, SHE has me pondering the future like no other.
DAMN KAT'S!
Unlike most, I'm WAY too friggin' busy thinking about the realtime to consider the next thing that just may come my way.
Trust me kids!
THIS is the way to go!
But!
Beautiful has a way of putting a spin on things that always gives a kid, the opportunity to ponder.
DAMN KAT'S!
Before I die huh?
Well let me tell you, I've given this some real consideration Kids.
Before I die, I'd like you ALL to run rike *me.
JUST ONE TIME!
*never could get that self-link shit down!
BLOW!
Oh and one other thing.
It's Jos, NOT JOE C.
DipShits!

Odds are,,,,
Got it in bad = 80%
Got it in good = 20%
Got it in, in a race from behind = 50/50
Got it in, in a race from ahead = 50/50
Finish second with only two buy-ins = 100%
Silly Poker!

Who does this to a kid?....
The now famous (in our Blogoshpere) "Bam-is-NOT-a-geek" mentality, has taken on a whole new twist this week. Oh, and with nothing more than a few minor and new, technological additions.
I mean, we're talking about a kid who has some fairly serious issues when it comes to three different stores having three different debit machines at the cashiers, when it comes time for checkout here.
Technologically challenged is just about as polite as it gets as you know, when it comes to me.
I know it, I deal with it and most importantly, I accept the facts at hand.
This week however I have been presented with two separate Laptops for personal and work use. Both Toshiba, and both damn near the top of the line so I'm told.
Geek Yahtzee right?
Uh ya, not so much.
How does one company make two products so vastly unique from one another, yet still manage to grow in the market share it has thrown itself into?
I can't even half-assed operate one of them without a wireless mouse for cripes sake! What kind of Laptop 'convenience' is that?
Come play The MooDankie tomorrow night with me kids. Lord knows that my miss clicks will get me into all kinds of troubles for sure!

Survivor Donkey Island: The view from the mainland....
So this past week I missed my first MooDankie since Survivor Donkey Island got off to a flying start. I had to choose between pussies and when it comes to that, Pebbles will ALWAYS hold over on you lot!
However since the inception of this wonderful little game of chance has truly re-energized a few of the blogging types in our community, I thought I'd share an outsiders opinion of the game as it is to date.
The American Idle move ~ Numb first out.
Allow the people to make a decision and as per usual, they'll fuck it up! I wouldn't say that Numb has haters exactly, dudes always social within the group and has not often said poo. (even when it's being flung at him) Numb has some edge for certain, but don't we all? The best part of that edge though, would have been in getting his team much deeper into every one of the challenges. Would I want Numb sitting on the rock beside me when it came time to pick a winner? In Poker vernacular, I'd take that race.
The Gilligan's Island move ~ Riggstad out.
All I know is, Riggs failed to show. If it was only Mary Anne available, Ginger wouldn't have stood a chance either. Would I want Brudder Riggs sitting beside me when the big vote came? HELLs NO!
The drunk & disorderly move ~ AlCantHang out.
Obviously there was a serious lack of foil caps available in The US of A that week. As it had to be aliens controlling the minds of of the voting team, when it came right down to crunch time. I mean seriously? AlCantHang out? For reals? I'd take Al on any team I was ever asked to be a part of period! But having said that, would I feel comfortable with him beside me at the vote? UH... no. But I would try to take him at least into the merge for our teams sake. This vote was clearly made while the the right honourable and incredibly knowledgeable voters, were looped on something other than Soco & water back.
A vote in Synopsis ~ Goodbye Hoy.
I know, I know. It would be highlarious to have left it at that! But that's just not how I fling poo. The voting off of Hoy was one of great mystery to me. As I for one couldn't think of ANYONE left playing in the game that I'd rather sit next to, during the final vote. Through no fault of his own of course, its just that I could see my chances being pretty damn good against him in that spot.
The racist vote ~ Dawn Summers out next.
Let's face it kids, this was clearly the first intelligent decision made in the entire process. As a card carrying and fully blown racist myself, I understand the need to cleanse the playing field. There's just no room in the game for nice folks! I mean what the Hell would happen to this world, if we kept letting all the nice ones tag along? Seriously? I can just see it now. Everyone gets along, while the mild banter with some pretty damn funny edge to it just keeps on coming. It would be a friggin' disaster! Grab a membership card as you walk out the door kids. There's just no way we can let the nice ones inherit our blogosphere!
So now what?
I see the merge shaking things up a bit more than most expect. New alliances will, nah, HAVE! already been formed and the blindsides my friends, well they'll get pretty hot and heavy going forward.
This is gonna' be good!
