A Very Unlucky Friday The 13th

I've always laughed in the face of superstition: I've flown several times on Friday the 13th (flights are cheap and the planes are usually empty). When I had to choose a number for a new cell phone (which I'd purchased on Friday the 13th), I jumped at the one with the prefix "666." And I had the coolest black cat ever. With the luck I have, I'm starting to think my disregard for superstitions ain't so smart. Last week's Friday the 13th started out with an email from my poker site stating that because Bush was set to sign the Internet gambling bill later in the day, they were ceasing business with their US customers and all accounts would be closed ...

Poker Peeves

Despite how I may come across in writing, I'm actually a very even-tempered person. The only times I yell are when I'm driving and when I'm playing online poker. My neighbors must think I'm in an abusive lesbian relationship due to my frequent shouts of, "YOU STUPID BITCH! HOW COULD YOU MAKE THAT CALL??!!" I do, however, show remarkable restraint in live games. Playing poker creates a bit of conflict for me. On the one hand, stupid players are the reason I can make money at it. On the other hand, stupidity in any form bugs the crap out of me and I want an explanation for it. For the most part, I keep the chat function turned off but occasionally ...

A Check Raise Is Better Than A Check Bounce

You gotta love shows like The World Poker Tour. Where else can you see someone walk away bitter and angry after winning half a million dollars? Oh wait, I know: Watch The World Series of Poker and see that same response after people have won millions of dollars. I hope someday that bitterness will be mine.

Lucky Signs

Last night I went to 7-11 and my total came to $7.11. I was expecting balloons to fall from the ceiling and a bunch of people to jump out from the corners throwing confetti, but at 2 am all I got was a bored security guard and a cashier wearing an "I am not a terrorist" button. I figured the numerical coincidence was a sign that I should buy a lottery ticket. Gamblers always see weird things as lucky signs. One time, my friend and I drove to Vegas and passed a burning car along the way. For some reason we were certain that was a lucky sign (nobody headed to Vegas sees anything as an unlucky sign). As it turned ...

I Was A Vegas Whale

I've been slacking a bit on my blog lately, but you know, the holidays. Actually the holidays have nothing to do with it, but it's just such an easy excuse for everything. Late to meet someone? "Sorry, holiday traffic." Want to cancel the meeting all together? "It's a bad time- the holidays." Want to eat something naughty? "Why not? It's the holidays." Pulled over by a cop? "Pleeeeeease?! It's the holidays." Anyway, after I wrote my last blog, I remembered something lucky that happened to me. Well, I don't think it would actually be considered luck but it was probably the only time I benefitted from other people's incompetence. About four years ago, I visited Vegas pretty regularly. I was receiving so ...

Luck Be A Nene

I'm not a lucky person- never have been. If I've ever won anything, it was so insignificant that I can't even recall what it was. I've never won a raffle, even when the odds were heavily stacked in my favor. I've never hit a decent slot machine payout on the first pull. If I pick heads, it's tails. If I shoot rock, someone else shoots paper. I'm always "miny" instead of "mo." Publisher's Clearinghouse doesn't even bother to send me their annual letter. If they did, it would probably say, "You might already be a winner...oh who are we kidding?" When I play craps, the dealer always yells, "Lady shooter coming out" and all the guys at the table bump up ...
