In case you're wondering why you haven't seen much red font lately, it's because I'm preparing for our VegaStravagnzatm. I've learned strategies for some out-there table games, but more than that I've been preparing for tournament poker.
I won (well, two-way tied) the second tournament I ever played, which was a regular Hold 'Em tourney at Mandalay Bay. Since then I've probably only played in two or three tournaments, and never finished in the money. For the last couple of weeks, though, I've been studying Sklansky's expensive book on tournament strategy.
I think I'm ready. I've written out a schedule of inexpensive tournaments in Vegas during our trip, and I hope to play in a lot of them. When we get back and I'm independently wealthy, I'll report on all my winnings. Look forward to that.
Or, for those of you who think I've been posting too much about gambling, I'll post about my attempts to order Lemon Fanta online.
And don't even ask about the tournament I played in over the weekend, where I went all-in as a 75% favorite and got screwed on the river.
Hey, can you email that schedule to the rest of us for the trip? I might be interested in playing one.
As for Fanta, I'd like to maim whoever produced that annoying commerical they're running before movie trailers.
Yeah. Those commercials are a real tease, because there's a yellow Fanta, but it turns out to be pineapple. Who drinks pineapple soda? I mean really.
Pineapple Soda is good. Never had Fanta, but Crush makes a decent one.
And if Pinzur can play in a poker tournament, so can I. Can I be the guy who wears my sunglasses inside? Or gets up from the table and wanders around muttering to himself? Please???
