Social Graces

I'm at the Starbucks in the Rio. This is where alot of bloggers and
press hang before and between events. I was on my laptop, and another
group was in the corner doing an interview. Well, in comes a family -
with a screaming kid. My ears were ringing from the noise, so I can't
imagine how the interviews was going. Finally, the interviewer asked
the family to respect the fact that they were trying to do an
interview. I would have done the same, in the same situation. Well,
the family (foreign tourists) exclaimed "we are just trying to have
fun on our vacation". Interesting social dilema. Even though the
interviewers were there first, they left for quiter space; leaving me
with the tourists. The tourist family seemed to delight in their
victory. I know this is a poker blog, but I was shocked by this lack
of respect for the other people. Just needed to get that off my chest
before my next event. :-)

Hate Jacks

So, I get Jacks short stacked and shoved. The blinds both call me and
I'm out. Small blind had Queens

Oh, it gets better.

I decided to go and play in a satellite. I get Jacks. I push. Get a
Jack on the flop. Small blind rivers a straight.

So ... I go to the cash tables. I get Jacks. Decide not to raise pre-
flop. Small blind bets the flop. You guessed it - he flopped two pair.

In the money!

Congratulations guys!!

Binions

I'm at Binions (where the World Series of Poker all began) playing a
six handed no-limit hold'em tournament with the gang. I should say I
'was' in the tournament. My eights ran into aces, and sent me packing
five from the money. Oh well. But, the guys ae still in!
