Premonition masochism....

As we sat down together after golf, DonKaaa and I discussed our games, the course conditions, the BIG game we have coming up Friday and of course, The Tuesday Night Skillz game.

We decided, our Golf games were in great shape, but the course not-so-much. (incredibly wet Summer) Together with Peb's and Queen_K, we will annihilate the field come Friday and.... we both love RAZZ. We talked RAZZ and some crazy situations that can come up in the game for quite some time. Almost too long to be honest! As we really needed to make a move for home, if we were going to make it in time to sign up.

We talked about the frustration of getting the ultimate starters and being bet into, only to run brick-brick-brick on the next several streets. We talked about those amazing rolled up hands, like the A-A-A that you'll never see in a STUD game in your life. My personal favorite, (so it just had to be talked about!) The relentless run of brings a player can go on. We talked about everything in the game for certain! Everything negative that is!

pre·mo·ni·tion [pree-muh-nish-uhn]
1. a feeling of anticipation of or anxiety over a future event.
2. a forewarning.

On the short drive home from the course, the thoughts from our little talk had been rattling around in my head like a virus. Negativity running rampant through my brain, as I made the final turn into the driveway. All the thoughts I was capable of processing at the time, were black and cancerous bad RAZZ run related, as I clicked on "Register" on the FullTilt window open in front of me.

mas·och·ism [mas-uh-kiz-uhm]
1. gratification gained from pain, deprivation, degradation, etc., inflicted or imposed on oneself, either as a result of one's own actions or the actions of others, esp. the tendency to seek this form of gratification.
2. the act of turning one's destructive tendencies inward or upon oneself.

"bing," is the noise I hear, as my table opens up for the game.
<1 minute before game begins.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand............ GO!

BamBamCan folds

In a sick and twisted way, it became fun! Like..... I'm actually contemplating making calls, just to see how awful a hand I can make kinda fun. In a few cases, I took it a little past the "contemplate" stage.

Dealt to BamBamCan [Kc Kd Ad Ks] [Qh] <=== just a little outside!
Dealt to BamBamCan [8h 8c 7h 8d] [7c] <=== Bingo!

Not that it was anything really new for me, ( I estimate I was good for approx. 29% to 34% of the brings at a 7 player table) but the "Bring Monster" was put on overdrive!

BamBamCan brings in for 100
BamBamCan: I'm just going to set this to auto-bring
GWD:lol 7 in a row
BamBamCan: Don't forget 9 of 10 :)

After I had a semi-descent board showing and bluffed Happy One 35 off a pot when I actually had two pair, (and showed 'cause it's just way too friggin' funny at that point!) it only became fitting that I ended up busting out to him, with the exact same two pair of 6's and 9's. He even warned me that he'd made but it didn't matter. I was done being, "entertained" for the night.

Every once in a while, you're going to have one of those nights.
I eventually got around to figuring, I might as well enjoy it!

My bud Poker Enthusiast stopped by for some chat·och·ism. That's where you not only take great pleasure in watching others perform harikari with a deck of cards, but you actually encourage it with type and wit! I'll give him full marks for last night. He was quick with more than just the keys! Always great to see P.E. an if you haven't been reading over there lately, get your azzes in gear. He's been putting some great reads up and I suggest everyone head on over. It all starts HERE, and you can figure the rest out for yourselves!

Big news is, PE say's he is seriously thinking about making Al's Bash. That would be great! If there's anyone out there who can give him a nudge in the general direction of PA around Sept. 26th., it would be greatly appreciated!

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....
