Dealing and the wreck

I am going to get the obligatory poker info out of the way. I went through a pretty large down/tilt swing. I had to move back down to rebuild, I have been pretty frustrated so I haven't been playing much. I played some on Tuesday night and really just didn't care. I lost 3 buy-ins but just couldn't muster up any feelings about it other than I knew I was going to lose. I am hoping that taking a couple of days off will help this because it will be very detrimental otherwise. It could be good since I wouldn't worry about the small shit but I think this is a little too far.

I am really getting beat down by these complete idiots online, I don't know why I make bad plays against them. I know that they are never folding any piece of the board. Time to revamp my approach again I think.

OK, so lets talk about dealing and what has been going on with that. Last Tuesday was going to be the first night but there wasn't really anyone there. We set up a schedule and figured out buy-ins for the tournaments and stuff and I got to meet everyone. I met the head dealer and the other owners and we just messed around playing a $20 freeze-out tournament. I got all in with AQ vs AT and lose when he hits a 10. Then I was short so I moved all in with 33 and same guy called with 45s and hit a 4. Pretty sick but whatever.

We set the schedule for Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays with the weekend days starting at 2PM. I told them I would talk to my work about getting one weekend day off so I could help out. I talked to my boss and she told me that those days are the worst for our stats and that I needed to be here on those days. Personally, I think that is pretty much bullshit because its slow as hell on the weekends. I let Trent and Josh know about that and showed up Saturday after I got off work in time to deal the cash game. The head dealer didn't show up so they fired him and offered it to me. I dealt for about 2 hours and made $120, not bad at all. I let them know that I would be there on Sunday when I got off work at 9PM. On lunch I went to eat at a place near the house and there wasn't anyone there. The game didn't make because Nascar was in town.

Tuesday I came straight from work and it was an unorganized mess. I was the first one there, Josh was running late. He shows up and tosses me the key and then goes to get some food. We only had 3 people show up and the game didn't make again. Kind of frustrating, I really need the money. I talked to Trent and we are going to change the schedule up a little bit to make it so more players will come. Other changes are also in the works, we will see what happens.

It was raining pretty bad yesterday on my way to Kung-Fu, visibility wasn't that good and it was the king of day that makes it hard to see the lane dividers in the road. I was exiting and there was an SUV in front of me and a car in front of it. The car cruises through the light then it turns yellow. The driver of the SUV has plenty of time but slams on his breaks and I have to slam my breaks on. Well as many people know, pick-up truck + wet roads = no traction, so I slid into him.

I jump out of the truck and there is no damage on his SUV or my truck. The guy gets out and is acting very weird. He was Mexican and I apologize and ask him if he is alright and he tells me that he is fine. I am thinking that this guy seems really ready to get out of here. I tell him that we should call the cops and exchange information. He starts acting very weird, telling me that he is going to church and he has his kids in the car. I ask him what he wants to do about this. He says that he just wants my phone number and he will call me later, then he tells me that the truck isn't even his. I didn't figure the chance of this guy calling me were very good so I gave the guy a made up number. I know that I am going to hell, but I was ready to do it right and he wasn't, so whatever.

I have a phone interview today with Citi Bank, it was supposed to be yesterday but the person was a little sick. Since work won't even try to work with my dealing schedule I have increased my efforts to get into a position that I will like and will allow me to deal at the card house as much as possible. This position with Citi Bank is like a personal banker sales position. I think it has the potential to be very good. That money plus the dealing income would be very substantial.

I bought Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii the other day and I have been playing the hell out of it. I am glad it is not a bunch of special moves to memorize as is the case with most fighting games. It is a pretty good all around game. I have found that some of the Wii games try to hard to make use of the motion sensor, like the Tony Hawk game is terrible. This doesn't have that, it is pretty straight forward. You can also play online which is pretty cool as well. There is no shit talking though which makes me sad.

I guess for now that is all. I will update again soon.

Until later.
