I’ll almost assuredly be home in time tonight. I seem to have caught **Nanook’s** cold and I can’t see me being at the bar any longer than I have to tonight.

Catch you guys then.

Its a no go at Pokertropolis for tonight. I tried scheduling the tournament for tonight and I never received a confirmation e-mail. I just got off the phone with them and they told me I have to give 24-48 hrs notice. I guess its the old pokerroom tonight. One more thing, I won’t be able to make it tonight. I was supposed to pick up my nephew at the airport tonight but he was able to get an earlier flight, so I have to get him tonight. Someone else has to make sure they have everyone’s AIM name and start the chatroom. I’ll see you guys next week at Pokertropolis.

AugerXPR: Man, I used to flop a flush or something every hand, now I can’t get jack  
NorthShoreNanook: nice hand

NorthShoreNanook: damn 9 on the river fucked me  
AugerXPR: Rudely fucked you  
Yeticus Rex: back  
Yeticus Rex: you now have permission to be rude and grim when you go all-in  
AugerXPR: kinda has a ring to it  
Yeticus Rex: why yes…yes it does  
Yeticus Rex: **SDMB Poker…Rude and Grim when you go All-In**  
Yeticus Rex: That should be our Motto  
AugerXPR: Yeah, since we are moving to “Real Money”, we can’t use “Your Play Money Spends as Good as Anybody’s”  
AugerXPR: Rude! Grim!  
Yeticus Rex: rude and grim  
Yeticus Rex: Go All-In!  
AugerXPR: An epic battle!  
Yeticus Rex: **Rude and Grim 'till the End!**

AugerXPR: G R I M  
Yeticus Rex: RUDE  
Yeticus Rex: GRIM  
AugerXPR: RUDE  
Yeticus Rex: but apparently, not grim and rude enough  
AugerXPR: I wish we had a pocket cam  
.  
. _\<now here’s the part where Auger and I become WPT commentators\>_  
.  
NorthShoreNanook: how’s your mike sexton impression?  
Yeticus Rex: not good  
AugerXPR: Well, Vince, he let Nanook back in the game with that weak play  
Yeticus Rex: Im more of a VanPatten myself  
Yeticus Rex: That’s fuckin rude!  
NorthShoreNanook: Patten is ok, cept for his insistance on giving every single freakin hand a name  
Yeticus Rex: Did you see him bluff with that 23 offsuit!  
AugerXPR: Vince, I’m not a big fan of calling with a 2 3 OS  
nestaheh: nh  
Yeticus Rex: me neither unless the moon is at the cusp of Libra  
Yeticus Rex: then I would be grim and go all in!  
Yeticus Rex: Mike, I really don’t see much fight in this head to head  
NorthShoreNanook: yeah its only been like 75 hands  
Yeticus Rex: too many blinds, not enough sees  
Yeticus Rex: candy  
AugerXPR: You know, Vince, head to head is a whole different ballgame, guys will not be afraid to play any hand  
Yeticus Rex: even those 27 os  
Yeticus Rex: what the hell you can even pair up!  
NorthShoreNanook: heh  
Yeticus Rex: sometimes an 84 os can beat an 89!  
NorthShoreNanook: more of a split pot than a beat 😛  
AugerXPR: SOmetims a 4 7 can beat pocket q’s, too  
Yeticus Rex: right you are Mike  
NorthShoreNanook: you were supposed to bet into the flush 😛  
Yeticus Rex: always give the opponent the idea that you have the straight or flush  
Yeticus Rex: and don’t be afraid to knock your chip stacks down  
AugerXPR: Put an opponent to a decision on all his chips  
Yeticus Rex: right Mike and order a whiskey sour and slap the waitress’s rear end when she goes by…she loves it!  
AugerXPR: Well, Vince, you know I’m a Michelob Amber Bock man  
AugerXPR: The official beer of the SDMB Poker Tour  
Yeticus Rex: but don’t let your wife see that kind of action when she’s in the stands…wives don’t like the ideaa of waitress ass slapping  
Yeticus Rex: that swill?  
AugerXPR: I see you, slappin dat ass, slappin dat ass  
Yeticus Rex: I’m a coors light man myself  
Yeticus Rex: that should be our new sponsor  
AugerXPR: M A B is the Sponsor, I have to drink that shit (I drink Bud IRL)  
Yeticus Rex: MGD IRL for me  
Yeticus Rex: I don’t really mind amber bock, it’s drinkable  
NorthShoreNanook: getting hard to bet, I’m covered in cats  
AugerXPR: Never tried it, I just never go into trendy pubs  
Yeticus Rex: Michelob amber cats…the new sponsor of SDMB World Poker Tour  
AugerXPR: never hurts to have a little pussy rubbed on ya  
Yeticus Rex: Michelob amber pussy…the new sponsor of the SDMB World Poker Tour  
AugerXPR: there’s the time you need that 2 7  
Yeticus Rex: well, Mike…Nook looked awfully strong with the 4s and 9s on the board…he was probably holding a 67 os  
AugerXPR: Vince, Nesta has him crippled now  
Yeticus Rex: yes he does and the pussy aint looking too good now  
AugerXPR: He’s gonna have to catch 2 runners to double up[  
Yeticus Rex: he’s gonna have to lay off the pussy during the game too  
AugerXPR: Possible double open ended staright

It’s a shame you can’t see the card action, we sound like a bunch of loonies! I can still see where I just said “Dang”. That’s where Yeti cut me off at the legs. Bastard.

You guys had a really good commentary going there. Funny stuff…even if some of it stooped to be Cro-Magnon Condescending.

Again, all that was going through my head last night was…outlast **Duke**. Of course, what do I do but go all-in preflop with pocket Qs. **Nanook** smartly pays the nice price to try to take me out and does just that (hit a straight on the turn? Or did you hit trips? Doesn’t matter.).

However, even if it didn’t help me in the standings, I feel much better about my play last night. I was in for at least 40 minutes, which is a damn sight better than what I’ve been doing recently. In other words, I didn’t play balls-out loose for a change.

Can’t wait to try P’Tropolis.

Oh yeah, and **Yeti** thanks for the edits on the IM post. Might have gotten ugly otherwise.

No problem. I knew THAT had to be edited. You shouldn’t be talking about the leader of North Korea that way. 😉

It wasn’t pre flop, it was on the turn. I only called cuz I had an open ended and the price was really low(150 give or take I think). Pot odds were too good to pass up, and I got lucky to hit the straight on the river. Of course, it came back to bite me in the ass on the last hand when I went all in pre flop with Queens and Nesta caught a king on the river to take me out finally.

Paging **x-ray vision**! If we’re gonna do the PokerTropolis, better give them the 48 hour advance warning. So they’ll, you know, have time to hide all their chips.
