Poker, hardly know her

Poker, a game I really was oblivious too.
About 7 months ago my company moved offices. During the cold months, my co-workers decided to play poker during lunch and I picked up texas hold'em. I'm pretty good against them, when it's not real money. I was just catching good hands. So good, I didn't always know they were good. Now I've learned the game pretty well and the only problem I have is with the whole gambling part. I've been playing online (free, I'm not about to lose all my dough online), and I run into a lot of donkers. I've been able to win some big hands and lose some big hands. I just need to figure out the best ones to play.

Now I'm hooked and watch whenever it's on tv. I love to see how they play their hands when all that money's at stake. I played in a money game with co-workers a few weeks ago, totally blew it. 6 hands and out. I had a pair of jacks, no flush or straight on the table so I figured I was in good shape. another guy raised me to force me all in and I bought it. He finished the hand with trip Aces, 2 in his pocket. DOH!

I learned my lesson. Thought he was trying to buy the pot, but should have been more cautious that early on. Only lost $20 so no biggie, just sucked being first one out.

Blog blog blog

Haven't posted in quite a while. I moved recently, my son had a birthday and work has been CRAZY busy. On top of that, I've got several projects I'm working on and just can't seem to find the time to post. I also have other blogs, I'll mention those some other time.

Stanley Cup Playoffs coming up soon, I'm Psyched for that. Just before that though, the NCAA Frozen Four. The usual suspects are in this year, Boston College, Maine, Michigan and North Dakota. Should be good.

I have another blog which I'll use for different posts than the type of stuff I'll post here.
