It’s been a month since I’ve written anything here. There’s no good reason for it, really. I’ve certainly had stuff that I could talk about, but just didn’t have the motivation to do it. I don’t right now either, but figured I should, and waiting for a project to build seemed as good a time as any.
I’ve been pretty obsessed with poker lately. I went to Commerce Casino again last weekend, and while I still lost as much money as I was willing to lose, I think I played much better poker this time. I got hit with some really bad luck, and I think if I keep playing like I did, I will make money most of the time. Bad luck is defined as getting pocket aces twice, pocket kings and pocket jacks once, and having them not hold up. Getting pocket 5s, flopping the set, and still losing. Getting a full house, fours over threes (with pocket fours, a pair of threes on the board), and losing when a third three comes on the river to give someone four threes. Yeah, that’s bad luck. All in one weekend. Maybe that’s normal, and I really didn’t play well, but I enjoyed myself either way. That’s why I went to https://www.boomtownbingo.com/ and tried my luck there.
I plan to go at least once a month, and have set a monthly limit on how much money I’m allowed to lose. Winnings carry over, so if I somehow win, I’ll have more to lose next time I go. Next time, I might go to Bicycle instead of Commerce, just to see what it’s like there. I’d like to get into a cheap ($50 or less) buy-in no-limit tournament, but there don’t seem to be any around that I can make it to.
The build is done, so that’s all you get for now. Hopefully, it won’t be another month before I write something else.

Hi dude – How do I get that nifty Bert Terror alert on my UJournal website?
Regards,
Johanna
Johanna – click the Bert image; it’ll show you HTML you can cut and paste.
I’ve never been to the Commerce casino, but I’ve been to the Bicycle. Ugh that definitely aroused my gambling bug. But then again every time I see anything on Vegas (which is every weekend on the damn Travel channel) I’m ready to pack up and go. It’s nice living that close hehe. Take care!
It’s a cute idea, and I was pleasantly surprised to see your link to WFMU’s website. The only problem is that the link is labelled as WMFU.
Have fun!
