It was hot. Very hot. 80 in the upper room and 85 in the lower room. What is it with the places we go to play poker that they think we want to play in oppressive heat!
Oh well. Final hand of the night for me was when we were down to the final 2 tables. It would have made the cut for TV. Many other hands would have ended up on the cutting room floor. But this one would make it. Nanuck is under the gun and goes all in for 6,000, I'm just to his left and go all in with 8,000. Floyd also goes all in for a little less. And Counting Girl calls all of our all ins. I didn't exactly want to see everyone call my all in with 22. Nanuck had 33. I don't remember what Floyd had other than it was 2 big cards that were suited. And C ounting Girl had AA. (Where's Kurt with J4 when I need him) Crap.
Flop comes 2 K x. 2 spades. Which is what Floyd had 2 of. So I now take the lead with a set of 2's. Floyds got the flush draw. And Nanuck and Counting Girl are drawing to bigger sets. K on the turn. Yippy! That knocks Floyds flush out, with me having a boat. But now I lose to any K, A or 3. Counting Girl spiked the A, to send Nanuck, Floyd and I to the rail.
Nanuck reports that he and Pinky are heading to Tunica for Labor Day weekend, and everyone is welcome to come along with them. Talk to either of them.
Merlotgirl and I are heading to Vegas 8/30 - 9/4 to celebrate 1 year of wedded bliss. And some said it would never last. Ha! Y'all are welcome to join us as well. We'll be staying downtown at the Golden Nugget. We were on the strip last year and want to check out old Vegas a little more this time. Come on out!!! This will probably be an annual pilgrimage so if you don't make it this year save up for next year!!!
I know Counting Girl and One Outer have seen the blog...and started one of their own to keep us up to date with their comings and goings. Click their link over their ->>> to see whats up with them. No idea if anyone else even knows its here/ If you read it let us know, by making some kind of comment!
Later.

TGIF
We love Fridays!!! Fridays Rock!!!
Usually Friday night means poker with friends at Varsity Club, but tonight we are off to dinner and a play. Our son heads back to NJ Sunday so we're having an early birthday dinner for me tonight and then going to see one of our friends in a play in Irving. Our son is in theater at his HS, and we figured it would be fun to take him to see the a production somewhere between HS Drama and Broadway. It should be a lot of fun.
Sadly he heads back to NJ, and we won't see him until we head that direction for Thanksgiving. He was fun to have around, and we'll miss him.
We were thinking of heading up to Winstar once his plane takes off, but One Outer pointed out to us that Winstar will be crazy because they are having another Mega Sattelite for "The River". So it may end up being either Choctaw or Varsity Club for the first edition of their Sunday afternoon Poker with sessions at 2:00 and 5:00,with the 2:00 game being a $100 freeroll.
As I learn more about this blogging stuff I'll try and add more functionality to the site. It would help if we had more visitors and commentors, than just One Outer and Counting Girl, but building readership takes time.
I've added a poll over on the right trying to gauge interest in going to see The Eagles in concert at the AAC on either September 13th or 14th. Tickets are still available, but I imagine they'll be going fast, so let us know ASAP if you have any interest.
Another event of note coming up is High Tea for the girls. I understand that several of ourt friends are planning on going to High Tea on Saturday August 30th. Talk to Merlotgirl, Pinky or Lovely Pamela for details.

Welcome Friends!!!
For months now several of us have thought about starting up a site that would be a common area where we could keep everyone abreast of upcoming events and other things of interest that may be going on. We tried several things, but none seemed to work.
That brings us to where we are right now, with me attempting to establish a blog for the ever growing group of friends that had its humble beginnings playing free poker at The End Zone. In many cases that was 3 years and one poker league ago.
We have seen some friends move away, and new ones arrive on the scene. We have seen some have children or grandchildren, and others get married (Yay Me!!!). We've shared some bad times, bot more often than not some very good times.
We've gone to different events together, some are going on a cruise this October, and The Tulsa Trio looks forward to their next adventure. Hopefully with an expanded cast of characters.
I have no idea what direction this site will take, but what the heck...let's give it a shot.
I'll try and post things that come to my attention as I find out about them. It's the readers responsibility to let me know what's going on so I can keep the site updated. It seems that Doris, on top of being a great Poker Party Hostess, has taken the lead on being the sites social director. great job so far Doris!!
All comments and feedback are welcome...how else will I ever know if anyone is reading this or not. This blog will only be as successful as you let it be.
Shuffle Up and Deal!!!!
