"Sweet Ginger Brown"

So I bluffed the first pot of the night. I had a Jack and like an off 6, raised once, took the pot. The rest of the night went quickly. Had Jack Ten suited on the big blind, rest of the table folded except for me and the short stack, he goes all in, I call, he beats me with pocket Queens. Next hand I fold Ace of spades, deuce of clubs, flop comes all spades, guess what floats on the river?

Watched some of the celebs in action, Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo was the most popular player, not so much the best. Also, the Major League Bubble gum champ of 1977, Kurt Bevaqua, at the table.

Many thanks to Rob at KASE 101, I think the turban would have worked great.

P.S. the market rallied off that fib line at 1500. First resistance 1515.

You got to know when to hold'em...

One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen was Kenny Rogers at Foxwoods Casino. Pre-botox, he was the man. He did this thing where he picked a guy in the audience, asked him if his wife/girlfriend dragged him to the show. Then, he said "I'll make this worth your while. I'll give you $10 for every song you recognize." As he rolled thru the hits, he kept on doleing out the cash. The guy took home around $100.

Speaking of the Gambler, I was invited to play in a charity poker game tomorrow night. All I keep thinking about is the scene in Ocean's Eleven with Brad Pitt and the young Hollywood crowd. "You don't want 4 cards, you want to fold. Ok, I fold". Maybe I can beat Haley Joe Osmet.

The market has started its long overdue corrective move. Fibonnaci retracement on the S&P looks first at 1500, then 1465. Since the moving averages are upward sloping, shorts should be quick and cash nibbling at the support levels.
