Poker night!

I'm finally going to play tonight... in the Friday night Texas Hold'em tournament at the recreation center.  I've been thinking about it for a couple weeks now, but I know how late it goes if you make it all the way to the end.  I don't have to be to work until 10 tomorrow morning, so I thought I'd try it.  You can win money (well... gift cards good anywhere on base... as good as money.)

Ok... so I'm back to finishing up here.  It's now Saturday morning after poker night.  I had a pretty decent showing my first tourney here.  I got down to 25 players left before going out.  It was a lot of fun, but I was so very tired by then... once I got back to my room I think I passed out in less than 5 minutes. LOL  I slept right up till 8 this morning, too.  I didn't even go get breakfast.  I ate graham crackers in my room this morning. Tasty breakfast huh? :) 

Anyway... I've always been a gambler... but my fancy for poker has been fairly recent all things considered.  I first started playing back in about 2003 during the big boom of poker.  I have gotten pretty good at the game over the past 7 years, and I've made a good bit of money doing it. :)  Someday I want to play in the main event of the World Series of Poker... well... even moreso... I would like to play MANY events of a WSOP sometime.  It is something that hopefully somewhere in the future (not extremely distant future, either).  It's really just about saving up the money to do it and being willing to part with that large amount of money when the time comes.  I know I'm willing to do it, but will Anne Marie be on the same page with it?  That remains to be seen.  I'm sure we can work that out, though. :)

I feel like I'm having a bit of writer's block lately... *sigh*  I dunno why... there's a lot of thoughts I could write down during the course of the day.  Perhaps I'm just tired... who knows?  It's almost lunchtime already here... it really comes early when you don't come to work until 10 in the morning. :)  I'm feeling a little better each day, too, which is a very good thing.  Hopefully I'll be back to near 100% in the next couple days. :)  I might try and post again later today...  since this one was really supposed to be yesterday's post. 

Peace, Love, and Poker
