Google is so great. For instance, if you are interested in religion and poker, you get all three monotheistic religions:

Jews and poker

The Church of Texas Holdem

Poker and Islam

We have some details on the poker “game” (actually, mainly a tournament) in December in Dallas…

The one day that works best is Saturday December 22. CCM, BudaKleck and Full House Rob will all be in town from Moscow, Budapest and Houston. We are going to play at 5:00 at my “house” (actually, in the garage).

My plan is to get a multi-table tournament together. Probably like a $50 no-rebuy with a blind structure that wraps it all up in 4 hours. As quickly as the losers can form a new table, cash games will start. We easily have enough interest for 2 tables, maybe f0r 3. I plan to kick everyone out of the “house” at midnight, but I have a hunch that I’ll be well lubricated and my gambling juices will be overflowing, so it will probably be a very late one.

If we get multiple cash games going, we can probably mix up the games between the tables (either have separate HE and O/8 tables or, more likely, have a high-stakes and a low-stakes table.)

If you are interested, and if you actually know me, I’d love for you to join in on the fun. If you aren’t interested, then why do you read my poker blog? If you don’t know me or know anyone that knows me, I am honored that you read my “poker blog” (actually, just a random subject blog), but you aren’t invited to me house! I am also looking for some volunteers to bring some extra tables and/or chairs.

If you have played in my tournaments before, then you know they are lots of fun. I love to trick them up with little things like bounties and other odd prizes. I also favor flatter payout structures than most tournaments. Another trademark of “my” (actually, my and John’s) tournaments is the trophy. To my knowledge, all 6 previous champions prominently display their trophies in their house. There will be a trophy. (Kim, let’s talk).

There are two new rules to playing at my house:

  1. If you complain about the music, I will kick you in the right testicle.
  2. If you fail to bring a sweater to play poker in December in my garage (there will be a space heater), and you complain about being cold, I will kick you in the left testicle.

Capice?

OK, now I can go back to rehabbing my “shoulder” (actually, just random mess of torn ligaments).

I didn’t end up with many good photos from Rome (I was either working or drinking!) so I really only have these two to offer.

My photos from the College Station trip:

“You see that Heard kid, you throw a yellow flag, you hear me?”

“I am so going to get laid after I win this game…”

“Watch it, this ain’t wool…”

Well, at least we won at halftime…

Click to enlarge this one. I first thought it was an A&M thing taunting “Cart McCoy”, but I later figured out that it must have been the UT team bus using “bulletin board material”

Our tailgate was an unholy mix (all Aggies plus three good guys).
I didn’t get to see the end of the game because Kellen Heard cheap shotted me on the way to get some popcorn, which sent me to College Station Medical Center with a season ending inury.

For those of you without DirecTV (suckers!), the crying bitch Aaron Rodgers is now in the game and the Cowboys are up 27-10 in the 2nd quarter. I think my bets are looking pretty good.

However, I am kicking myself for not getting on the 52 Over given how both teams have already scored a lot and look like they’ll score a lot more before it’s over. The Cowboys pass defense is still poor and the Pack will play from behind and likely get another 10-14 points before the game is over, even with the crying bitch Aaron Rodgers in the game.

I am on the Cowboys -7 for real money tonight in a couple of different places so I’m going to go ahead and put them down for an early pick. Padilla is on them, too.

These bets today effectively close out my $100 prop bet with my brother made in August that the Pack would finish with a better record than the Cowboys. The Packers are just as good as I thought they would be, but the Cowboys have turned out to be much better than I expected.

Up until just a couple weeks ago I thought they were going to stumble a bit, and they still might, but I think their 11-1 after tonight and the Packers won’t be able to pass them without a monumental collapse.
