Poker Black Jack
*************************************************************** Tonight I played in the “Negreanu Open” which is a weekly tournament held on for the FCP forum regulars every Wednesday night at 9:00pm EST. It’s a $10+1 buy in tournament and FCP adds $100 to the prize pool each week. Also, when I play I add a bounty to my head that equals $1 per entry. So, if 121 players enter, the bounty on my head would be $121. In this case, there were 133 entrants. Early on I was dealt Aces and played a heads up pot with “seacucumber0.” The flop came A-8-9. The turn was a 5, and *sigh* I needed the board to pair, doh! It didn’t, and ‘Pocket3s” dusted me off to win the bounty of $133. It’s a fun little tournament they run. They actually have a leader board based on a sophisticated point system that carries over for the whole year. Anyone can enter, so if you want in you can find all the details at *************************************************************** So since I busted out there, I decided to veg and watch some TV. I heard about a new show called Unan1mous on FOX that was supposed to be pretty good. The concept has 9 perfect strangers locked away in a sealed off room underground. They have ZERO human contact with anyone but themselves. There is $1, 500, 000 on the line, but here is the catch: no one can leave the room until there is a Unanimous vote as to who should get ALL the money! There is actually a professional poker player on the show named Adam, who frankly, comes off a little sleazy I think. Then, they have this black woman on their who calls herself a minister. She is horrible. Horribly mean and preachy. It’s funny, because I just finished watching a 10 minute sermon by “Pastor Rob” which I ordered off of called “Bull Horn.” In it, you see this chubby dude with a megaphone going out on the streets yelling out to people, “REPENT! YOU WILL GO TO HELL IF YOU DON’T.” Naturally, nobody stopped to listen to what this guy had to say. Pastor Rob goes on to explain, “Put the Bull Horn down. It doesn’t seem to be working out so well.” Basically, he is echoing the sentiment that I share with most people in this world. Nobody wants to be yelled at like that. Anyway, this woman was chastising Rich, a 38 year old gay man, letting him know that he was going to hell and that God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. How hurtful? SHE is a minister? SHE is supposed to be representing Christ? She was rude, condescending, preachy, and all things people in this world despise. Who does she...
