Donkey Island Tipping Point

I will miss the Mookie to attend Sharks v Flames. So wanted to play but one of managers surrendered his seat in the Suite so I must experience Hockey like the fat cats.

Everyone who watches Survivor regularly knows that the safest person tonight is Muchtim.

The sole remaining member of a team always gets to decide which pair to swing the power to of the 4 man team. It is strategy played out every season since the 1st when Susan and Kelly went to a 2-2 tie with Rudy and Richard.

The lesson is figure out who your best bud is and throw your other two team members out as other goes next challenge and then it is you, best bud and much fighting for that last immunity and choosing heads up opponent.

Clearly if you are looking at vote to win Josie gets thrown under the bus. But if it comes down to playing Heads Up poker for the win you toss SmBoatDrinks.

More Restful Sleep Ahead

I got home tilted from work but now I am very relaxed.

I think a little money should go to Japan and a little should go to craps.

Sleeping the sleep of the contented

I played some Rush PLO, at times it does seem to have the same skill level requirements to play as craps as some ridiculous hands occurred but in my last 3 hands of evening I went:

Decided to follow the George Costanza model and leave on a high note.

I sleep a lot better after win normally.

My Valentine's gift to wife was to do something about my snoring. Washington's Birthday weekend I was in a 'sleep study'. A fascinating process where 4 sensors were strapped to my legs, 3 to my chest, 6 more table to my face and 8 GLUED to my head. Nurse took ~45 minutes to get me all hooked up and used a heat gun to help the glue dry. Had a big rainbow ponytail of wires coming off the head.

My performance on test was spectacular as 2 hours into test they slapped mask like the one pictured on. I got my new CPAP last Thursday and my wife and daughter are sleeping a lot better.

Survivor

Apparently Goat needed immunity as they turned on the creator last night.

Gpjacobs, Maloney and I had 35-40 BBs when we agreed to chop.$1 rebuy is brutal just for how deep everyone is late and am not really sure why a 26 peep private tourney pays 3 when an 18 SNG pays 4. Kat was unfortunate victim and it felt like she was in for the most buyins.

My key hands of night were picking up AA in BB and having Mr How to fold KK not fold 99 and then winning flip at final table against Kat.
