.
I had a customer call today at about 11:15. This guy is one of the few out there, that I would give my right arm, (metaphorically speaking, of course) to help out no matter what. WHY? Because he's not "people." This guy is a person of the best kind! He's the type that would find an issue with the product I produce, figure out a solution and then, ask me how I can prevent it in the future. He's the type that will call me on a Thursday before EH-Vegas and say, "Hey Bam? isn't this your weekend to run wild with those, (and yes I quote verbatum) "degenerate blogger type, poker folk?"
You've read this far right? Don't you just want to make everything right in this guy's world?
Well, I knew from the second that I answered, "yes" that this would be a fairly lengthy conversation. How lengthy you ask? How about lunch at noon and I just got home recently! You see, "Bud," (name changed to protect the guilty) realized that I've been working way too much for my own good. He knew that a little get-away the day before, would ease the pain and suffering of this kid, and let me slip away into EH-Vegas mode just a little sooner than corporate Canada wanted me to. So a 2 1/2 hour lunch seemed in order for Bud! UP HERE IN BEDROCK !
ALL HAIL BUD !
Anywho.... I don't have a ton to say today, ( and since I'll be as far from sober as humanly possible and hopefully still, semi-upright this weekend ) except,
If you're not looking forward to ..............
THIS !
You just don't know what you're missing!
I'll do my best to keep up(right) with the man all weekend long in EH-Vegas. But if nothing else, I promise to thank him profusely for putting these games all together, on behalf of all of us that enjoy the ride!
My sincerest thanks for dropping by....

The EH-fternoon shift....
Put to task, a Bam-Bam can be a formidable opponent.
(or proponent! Dependant on your view)
When put to the test of entertaining Sir Al, RIGGS et'all, on a lovely
EH-Vegas Saturday afternoon, I needed to come up with something that could please the mildest and the wildest of the crowd looking for fun. I also had the task of entertaining everyone interested, before the greatest meal in the history of blogger.... well.....HISTORY!
Well folks.... I give you the EH-fternoon shift.
Expensive drinks, good friends, great times and naked woman. (Ooooooops! Must have had Blogger link "issues" there! ) If you can't have fun with that, you're probably in with the wrong crowd! We might even develop the "EH-procedure" as we go. Who knows? What I do know is, a few Monday or Tuesday morning posts will have some Meagher snippets of actual and semi-factual happenings on the day.
But until that time, we'll enjoy each others company, tell tall tales and enjoy the moment, (or whatever else is) at hand together.
I for one can't wait!
So T-Spot EH-fternoon shift, here we come! I'm certain you'll never be the same. Al and I are currently accepting applications for the judging panel for the 2008, EH-Vegas "Avis" Award. This will be awarded to the one EH-fternoon shift employee we deem as the "try's harder" candidate of the day.
Award donations would be greatly appreciated by both the judging panel, and "Avis" I'm sure.
Let the judging begin!

Getting called out .....
I got called out for bad play and by someone well, that really surprised me. Which is actually quite funny when I think about something in the game this day and age, surprising me.
Here's a hand history that was posted about my horrific play. The entire histories and the comments input by the author, are all in original state. I give you my word!
I've added the 'Bam-Bam' perspective to the hand because it's my friggin' site. LOL.
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to PirateLawyer [As 9s]
Dealt to BamBamCan [Kd Qc]
itsgotmetoo folds
emptyman folds
FishyMcDonK folds
Astin folds
PirateLawyer raises to 160 - "simple opening raise"
BamBamCan raises to 240 - This "playa" has shown a few uh, 'different' starting hands.
PirateLawyer calls 80 - Funny enough, I see this as "pattern recognition."
*** FLOP *** [4c 6h 5s]
PirateLawyer checks -
BamBamCan bets 80 - to entice the raise if behind, (pattern) or call if ahead.(pattern)
PirateLawyer calls 80
*** TURN *** [4c 6h 5s] [4h]
PirateLawyer checks
BamBamCan bets 160 - I see myself making a move here to end the hand.
PirateLawyer calls 160
*** RIVER *** [4c 6h 5s 4h] [Jh]
PirateLawyer checks
BamBamCan bets 160 - There is no way based on the history of play, that this helps and it's all I can bet.
PirateLawyer calls 160
*** SHOW DOWN ***
BamBamCan shows [Kd Qc] a pair of Fours
PirateLawyer shows [As 9s] a pair of Fours
PirateLawyer wins the pot (1,280) with a pair of Fours
And my favorite part,
"At some point you have to give up with king-high."
But apparently Ace high is obviously known gold as the hand was played. But then again, I lost. What the hell do I know about real poker?
Funny shit really! I mean give it some thought. If this is how I am to be deemed one of the worst players on the planet, I think I can live with it.
Here's a beauty from about two or three hands later.
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to PirateLawyer [9c Jc]
Dealt to BamBamCan [8c Ac]
itsgotmetoo folds
emptyman folds
FishyMcDonK folds
Astin folds
PirateLawyer calls 40
BamBamCan raises to 160 - Some would call this a "simple opening raise"
PirateLawyer calls 80
*** FLOP *** [8d Jh Qh]
PirateLawyer checks
BamBamCan checks
*** TURN *** [8d Jh Qh] [Js] - nice turn card for me, certainly
PirateLawyer bets 160 - time to lead out, certainly
BamBamCan raises to 320 - now he raises!?
PirateLawyer raises to 480 - easy 3-bet
BamBamCan calls 160
*** RIVER *** [8d Jh Qh Js] [Qd]
PirateLawyer bets 160 - I don't like this card but have to bet
BamBamCan calls 160 - what can he possibly be calling with?
*** SHOW DOWN ***
PirateLawyer shows [9c Jc] a full house, Jacks full of Queens
BamBamCan mucks
PirateLawyer wins the pot (1,600) with a full house, Jacks full of Queens
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1,600 | Rake 0
Board: [8d Jh Qh Js Qd]
Seat 1: PirateLawyer (small blind) showed [9c Jc] and won (1,600) with a full house, Jacks full of Queens
Seat 2: BamBamCan (big blind) mucked [8c Ac] - two pair, Queens and Jacks
And the comment that I deserve,
"I have no idea how anyone could figure that an eight was good here. No idea."
My response was simple. I'm a Donkey! Let's face facts here. I was beat once by a great player with Ace high, why not see if I can repay the favour? And hell man, I had a great time seeing if I was right. Just imagine if it read this way,
Dealt to BamBamCan [Qc Qs] I know one thing, it never crossed anyone elses mind.
And that my friends is why winning with Ace high is genious and losing with it, is just another Donkey play.
I'm totally OK with both.
Not once mentioned in there, (and that's a shame) was the following;
BamBamCan : <--- likes PL
PirateLaywer : I guess so
I watched a man figure out that Aces were no good last night. Hell, I folded pocket Aces myself once last night. Sometimes you have to consider what else might be out there. That's where bad beat stories come from in the first place! But when you win that hand, I don't know that 'Donkey' is always in order. I'm sure that in my case, it probably is. Lord knows I'm the only one in poker that's ever got a read wrong or just said 'fawkit' and went the whole way.
LMFAO....Lord I love this game of Poker!
My sincerest thanks for dropping by.... oh.... AND HEE-HAW !
