playing poker and teaching science: I hate all bloggers!

About Me

Location: Honolulu, HI, United States

I'm a middle school science teacher, wrestling coach, poker player, scuba diver, aikido black belt, amateur writer, and student of life. In the past I have tried to give back a little by volunteering at a children's home in Belmopan, Belize, Central America. I also love Frosted Flakes. I took a year-long sabbatical from my science teaching position in order to sail the Caribbean, retired from teaching in Indiana and now teach at a Honolulu middle school.

I hate all bloggers!

The hammer, the hammer the hammer!

All the stories about winning with the hammer. First hand of the tournament at my table at the blogger's gathering in Vegas was won with the Hammer (Poker Geek?). Behind me at the Excalibur the hammer turns quad sevens and sends a lady home in tears. Seven-two offsuit rules!

I play a lot of sites for fun. I play poker at Party Poker to make money. I play boring, ABC poker to make money. I fold, fold, fold.......AND I MAKE MONEY.

What happens when I'm dealt the hammer today? I friggin' raise!!!!! I hit a 7 on the flop and bet again, eventually losing to an A7 calling station and effectively wiping out a nice little profit. I have to play for another 45 boring friggin' minutes to make it up!!!!

To make it worse, I'm dealt the hammer SIX more times on the two tables I'm playing just so it could taunt me!!!

Damn you bloggers!!!!!

Whew.......I feel bettter now....
