Day 259 ... Bounce back at Titan ...

Weather Report, The Sahara - Hot, damn hot & cooler in the shade.

I've spent another 20mins today looking at the blogoshere ... Apparently this is what you call the place where blogs exist ... I will add this to my list of irritating and meaningless wordsicles (hell if everyone else can make up nonsense words so can I).

Why can't people just talk plain English instead of in strings of bling buzzword just to sound refreshing and street - inventing complicated made up words doesn't make you look brainy just a retarded fashion victim.

Blogoshere ... Some blogs
Moving forward ... So when ?
Looking foward ... Next year / sometime / the future
Heads up ... Can I have a word
Visumalise ... Think about it
Human Resources ... Personel / staff
Contextualise ... Look at it how it is
Monetize ... Make it pay

I could go on but it would turn into the rant of some grumpy old man, but really some of the stuff people come out with is just bolox and I've sat through alot of these conference / motivational type things and it's just a collection of nonsense words with lise / ism / istic stuck on the end and if in doubt then just start looking forward ... seriously how many people before they said anything were planning on moving or walking around backwards ?

Anyway I've now decided that my blog will have some structure -

1) A random rant / summary of the non-poker stuff on my mind.

2) Some stuff on poker and if I've played then an update on my losses and hopefully profits.

3) 4kingpoker stuff with what's going on at the site etc.

Finishing off section 1 I did find some stuff that was interesting -

Some sort of Sims soap opera blog - No idea what it was called but quite funny - someone obviously spent alot of time on it.

And some independent guy with some nice ideas who wants to become a US senator in California - Commonsenseworld.com - Maybe I've just been maxed out on right-wing blogs but he seemed quite sensible, then again I know nothing about US politics - just a shame that it ends up having such an effect on what us and the rest of the world - yet we don't get a vote.

Started off ok in the first cash game and decided to cut and run but then it all went bad in the 2nd - Got dealt AA and ended up with a nasty looking KK- flop which worked out ok and got me up to $18 - Instead of taking out the profit and starting again - I blew most of it going all-in with KA suited when the flop came down KKJ. The other guy called on a big draw with QA but hit the 10 on the turn. Spent 1/2 hour seething and trying not to tilt - Got out with a 23 cent profit and didn't want to look back.

Getting 1st place in SnG's at Titan has been looking rarer than rocking horse sh** recently, so I'm a bit happier today and the bankroll is looking a bit better too.

4kingpoker stuff ...

Titan Series this weekend ... It's the 5th game of 6 this weekend at Titan and the last $50 freeroll in the current series. The weekend after it's a $3+0.30 buy-in which needs to be busy as you can only qualify for the highest 30 scorer final if you've played in a buy-in tournie. The series seems to have been a success and we're just sorting out the details for the Titan Series II which is great news.
