For the poker players

Up until now I've spared you posts about playing cards, but it's something I do often so it deserves it's time in the spotlight here. Especially since I have a question to ask you (or at least to ask those of you who play).

Question 1: If you finish in 4th you get nothing. If you finish in 3rd or better - you get... well... something.

Do you call here or raise?

Kayamucho folds.
jjAKQJ10 raises (650) to 650
jjAKQJ10 is all-In.

Question 2: If you finish in 4th you get nothing. If you finish in 3rd or better - you get... well... something.

The two big stacks have been raising every hand (as they should) and the two small stacks have been folding for the last 10 minutes, trying to outlast each other.

NutterGBH isn't in a blind this hand (and hasn't yet acted), but next hand he will be in for 150.

Do you fold, call, or raise?

Back to Wisconsin

It's been great here in Miami. In the 80s everyday - didn't rain a whole lot and the conference was great!

If you're interested in the nerdy details, I have some and there are many more here.

I'm ready to be coming back to WI though... sounds like there's plenty of new snow waiting for me. Monnie and I are going to have to get back out to Tyrol!

Welcome to Miami

It may be drizzly, but hey: it's 75 and the room has an ocean view. I'll take it!



Although I didn't hear about it until I got to the hotel and turned on the TV, this happened sometime after my flight landed - and before I had left the airport. Crazy.

Maurice Williams hit a HUGE 3 as tie expired to give the Bucks a big win over the Wizards. ... and that was only 3 of the 17 he scored in the last 7 minutes!

Danny Heatley's streak of consecutive games with a point was broken at an unbelievable 22, but he got back on the horse tonight scoring twice against the Kings. We had season tickets in the student section when Heatley was still at UW and he was unreal, but somehow he seems to be even better as a pro. and he's still got that winning "hockey player" smile:
