Tuesday was a pretty good day

My board at work went out to be fabricated, which means that it will be undergoing assembly while I am in Las Vegas in 8 days and be back at Mountain View for me to test after planned return.

Cashed in 50-50 without having a big hand but raailed Astin as he delivered Astinbaynage on Jersey wearing Imper1um. Went out with UTG shove of AT and M down to 4 for 121st. Had semibluffed big stack with ~230 left and OESD on turn, he called me after flopping middle pair and I rivered a higher pair. Turns out I also had flush draw working for me.

Was also on the good side of a set-up hand in a SB v BB battle:

Was "girlie chatting" with Hoy as he gave high variance poker clinic in 50-50 and Avatar race. I claimed if I ever figured out how to win pots without cards I might be unstoppable. Don't see how I can turn that corner since people seem to call me a lot. Got points for noticing wife's haircut when she got home, lost points because I missed one wife question while "chatting" with Hoy and playing a hand. Will have to see if punishment extends to Mookie.

The downer for day was I wanted Lee Watkinson to win Main Event.

Mom says Dad's chemo is proceeding well and the drug that has reduced testosterone production has had the warned about side effect. Mom thinks the last testosterone killing pill will only lead to even bigger man breasts. Not sure if I'll be able to handle my Father and my Daughter having a discussion about their respective "girls"
