For many of…
For many of you who know me it is no secret that I enjoy playing Texas hold ‘em poker. It’s also no secret that I’m just “an average player”; but just like with anything you do, if you pay attention and learn from your mistakes eventually you’ll get better at it. With all this “down time” from the CV19 shit I’ve been able to increase my playing to usually 3 or 4 games a day. So if this CV19 hangs on very long I stand a chance of improving maybe to a “slightly” better than average status.
This could end…
This could end up being one of those posts that I like to call “housekeeping” posts and back when I was on FIRED I normally would reserve those for Saturdays. Seeing how I have been pretty much around the house now for two weeks I honestly have lost track which day the week it is on at least a couple of occasions. So, even though today’s not Saturday (which I did know without checking) I’m gonna go ahead and do some housekeeping.
The first thing…
The first thing I need to get done is recruit some you folks to come join me over at brosinopoker.com . I really would like you to step in and join us over there and I guarantee you that you won’t lose any of your own money.
“But you haven’t even seen me play poker, how can make such a guarantee?” say you. Say me, “Because it is TOTALLY GUZBUCKING FREE to play.” that’s how I can guarantee it.
It doesn’t matter what your poker skillz* are, beginner to ex-poker professional gambler, as long as you have a valid HIVE account and are in good standing with community I’m pretty darn sure that they’ll let you sit at the tables and play. The best part is you can in fact win HIVE crypto currency as they offer FREE ROLL tournaments with HIVE as the prizes.
The next on…
The next on my list is responding back to the post that @geekgirl did recently on the upcoming Teams tournament season. She suggested in that post us poker players share our “notes” on the other players. It might be the reason I’m just an average poker player, how the hell did I know I suppose to “keep notes on players”? The purpose of the posts is to use the HIVE earned from the post to raise prize money for the tournaments while the search is on for a tournament sponsor.
Aside from the fact that I don’t have notes; there is another thing in her post which is “rules”, I don’t really like rules; I treat rules as “suggest guidelines”. If I can easily follow them, (and don’t have an issue with them), I generally will do as those say. I do believe in helping out though, as I have proven in the past on FIRED with Saturday SBI give away I used to do.
So, thus far since the poker site switch to HIVE from GUZBUCKS I’ve won $13.00 HIVE (not bad for six days) so I am going to donate $10 of those HIVE to the prize fund rather than go trouble of buying a note book and then take some notes, so then I can share ‘em with the world. Some things truly are best kept as secrets.
Sorry Geek, I hope that will help a little.
Now, on the other hand @snook does play by the rules and she did a very nice review of my poker playing as she shared her notes, if care to see what she wrote here is the link.
What do I…
What do I need to sweep away next as I do this housekeeping? Oh, I know what it was… I know there are some very talented writer’s who read the “dash”, as I now refer to it, and I appreciate that very much.
I heard a rumor though that reason people read me is I'm a prime example of how not to write (might be some truth there). I could not care what the reason is you read the Dash, I just want to know at what level of HIVE prize money will make you write something and enter a contest?
There is a contest going on with $100 HIVE in prizes, which will split 50/30/20 for the three best stories as judged by the sponsor. I think it is damn shame that a good guy like @mikepm74 is willing to put his own HIVE up to support this HIVE blog effort and he has only one GUZBUCKING entry. So, I ask again; what is the number $500 or $1,000 ? more?
Is that why FIRED lost so many people? Do me a favor, when you get done reading this Dash open this link , go read the “suggest guidelines “ and then submit an entry before midnight eastern time on Saturday the 28th of March. Let’s show Mike some appreciation and support as he tries to help this chain grow.
A short story folks; it really isn’t that difficult in my opinion.
Next item please...
Next item please… oh yea, can anyone here tell me if the folks that developed steemworld have released one for use on HIVE? That was a favorite tool that I liked to keep track of things on. I’ve haven’t been able to locate it yet.
Poker game time, BRB.
Man, … I got my ass kicked that game, NH @geekgirl , I didn’t even make it to the final table.
So, I lost …
So, I lost my train of thought… Oh yes, back to poker for a second. How many of you belong to some discord channels or groups? Raise those hands just a little higher, please. Okay … the poker tables are much like discord in that there is a chat window you can “chit-chat” with people as you play.
Also this isn’t a “normal” free poker site because there aren’t a bunch of assholes playing in there. They all believe in crypto and HIVE so they want to win as much as they can every time the cards are dealt. There is a good chance the folks you are chatting with in discord are the same folks you could be chatting with at
brosinopoker.com.
On the home…
On the home front things are going as well as can be expected. The other day just hours before the stay at home order went into affect I sent the Daisy, Blondie and Shortie to the feed store to buy some baby ducklings. With all the girls social events being cancelled and this stay at home order I figured it would be a good for them since they are going to have plenty of bonding time in the near future.
The girls came back with four of the cutest little ducklings and if you think I’m good at naming people or things wait until you see these names. We now have in our little flock James Pond, Aflac, Chicken and Ducklings Waddlesworth. So for the next two weeks those ducklings will spend their time in a good size plastic tote while they acclimated to the girls and get a little size on them. In the mean time we have to build them a duck cage outside so I have that to look forward to doing.
The problem with ducks is they are so damn messy. If you’ve never had ‘em don’t get them and if you don't take my advice and get em’ anyway make your cage portable. Trust me when I say that; I’ve had ducks before. Messy, messy, messy… but very tasty with garlic & butter sauce.
I think that is enough cleaning for today. Stay safe , keep your distance and HIVE on!
Until next time,
Sult
