Still Here
The Washington State Secret Police haven't come knocking on my door yet to enforce that silly new online gambling law. I have nothing to worry about though, I've been a good citizen and have only recently gambled in the state-sanctioned casinos.
Bah! Mr. EasyCure is rightfully peeved and is on a crusade to do something about it. EC, I have a buddy who's finishing up law school in NYU this year, so I'll ask him about it. :)
I've been playing "for free" online though, such as the PokerStars Blogger tournament last week. The only other name I recognized at my opening table was The Rooster, but he was sitting out. I almost made it to the first break, when DonkeyPuncher showed up to chit-chat and came just in time to witness my exit. I pushed with AT and was up against a big stack's 99. An Ace on the flop elicited a "Nice" from the DP, and the 9 on the Turn just made me laugh out loud. It was either that, or DP saying, "I've never been ****blocked online before." when ToddCommish and I interjected ourselves into his attempt at table chat with SarahSpades.
Luckily the day wasn't a total wash. It was Father's Day, and my girls treated me to BBQ'd ribs and lots and lots of chocolate!
Well, back into hiding for awhile. The next month is going to be busy and expensive for me as all of my girls (wife and 3 daughters) have their birthdays within a month of each other. We do have a summer road trip scheduled, but unfortunately Vegas isn't anywhere near the planned route.
P.S. EasyCure - I am *not* a felon. The law went into effect on June 7th. As you can see on my previous post, I went broke on June 5th.
Doc - Glad you got my note about PJ's NL... I think I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend. And since you killed it, I think getting those OzzFest tickets would be an acceptable referral fee.
