Sleep in my life has become one of those things that other people do... like skiing and the use of umbrella's on rainy days (I just move fast and try to avoid the drops).


This week there were some cool tournements in Brooklyn one was some seedy under ground place with alot of "Characters" and the other was a charity poker event for The American Cancer Society.
Funny Enough It was mostly the same people. LOL ... Just goes to show you, seedy characters from Brooklyn do care (Well as long as we get to play poker we care 8=) 

I stuck to my brain food diet (Which by the way someone asked me to post and I will soooooooon)
For those of you that don't know I carry around a list of Brain foods that my friend "shop girl" helped me prepare, and I only eat things from that list on the days I am playing poker. So I ate some salmon with red cabbage and broccolli before I went to the charity event and and i brought some blue berries (of course) and some pumpkin seeds to snack on at the table. 
 
The charity event was actually very fun. It seems like everyone is more relaxed like even if your burnt about a particular hand you'll just kinda say to yourself 'well its for charity' and some how that calms you down. I made the final table and ended up busting out 6th because some F*cker drew out on me (lol)  and I refuse to say "That's poker" like the rest of 'em.... I probably got a lil too cocky with a hand I shouldn't have .
I had Q Q and he raised I reraised, he pushes all in I knew he didnt have aces or kings, I was 100% sure of that I figured him on ace king or he was weak and posturing.... so i called... the donkey had a pair of 7's so a 7 comes on the flop and he had me covered so che sera sera...  I mean I know sometimes you gotta lay down a hand like a pair of queens but i had such a good read on the guy I just knew he was weak... and he was, but I got tangled in a pissing contest and that is more what I tried to focus on. I don't like to blame everything on 'bad beats' and 'suck outs' its always better to find some personal accountibility...and mine always seems to lie with my inflated ego (some say over inflated... but they are just WRONG)

I shook everyones hand at the table and walked  away without incident. It turned out to be okay because there were some woman getting drunk at the bar, they were like trying to get people to give more money to the American cancer society and shooting cranberry vodka's while we played. So I ended up drinking with them for a good 2 hours and then we all went to eat and everyone went home. I stopped off at a friends house on the way home and they had a game going so I played with them for a few hours (they play small stakes was just more of a social game) then I went home about 700 or 800 dollars  richer (minus the drinks and dinner) for the day and I helped raise a bunch of money for the American Cancer Society... As Ice Cube once said..."Today was a good day"

Of course when I got home I couldn't sleep and I ended up just staying up and next day spent some time in my backyard (central park) and then made my way to Brooklyn again for the "seedy underground game" which was eventful and will certainly be my next entry... I will have it up soon....
