I like being able to exploit situational play but lately I have been forced to nit it up to the tune of big profits. Playing against skilled opponents you need to be able to show down a weird hand occasionally so you can get paid off with your good hands. In games where 4 or more people are seeing a flop its all math and typically what seems like the best hand is normally.
I like the degenerate in the suburbs angle though I am not sure it really applies to me, mostly I am just a grinder, a Knish type. What we lack in culture in the suburbs we make up for in water parks. When I get so wealthy I can puke I will be getting one thing. A Lazy River! The local water park has one and my family has a membership so occasionally in the middle of the day I pop in for an hour or so of lazy river action. It’s actually somewhat annoying on most days because of the throngs of kids that apparently don’t know what lazy means. So throughout the hour you are constantly bumped by 9 year olds, which I can deal with I suppose. This has been a great summer thus far and I expect it to end great with
The Simpson’s movie was consistently OK. It’s not that it was bad it’s just that the show has established a bar that is tough to beat. As it turns out 30 minutes works, an hour and 30 minutes is a bit much. I went to the midnight show with all of the die hards. I usually do because there aren’t a lot of things to do on Thursday at midnight. There were a lot of high people in that auditorium. As I was walking out of one door some idiot teenager opened the other door and nailed my left arm, like the kind of thing you can’t ignore. When I heard him snicker I turned around like “WTF!?!”, he then realized he owed me an apology. I probably would have been cool if he hadn’t snickered but once I looked back I could see he was very high.
On a recommendation from a friend I started reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. So far it’s a bit hokey but I find myself combing through the pages. I just eat this type of stuff up. Up to this point I haven’t really heard anything new but it is usually nice to reinforce what I am already doing. I also picked up the biography of Leonardo Da Vinci, all this self help and financial stuff is going to have to start taking a back seat to one of my original loves, History.
