Bubbles, bubbles, king of the sea...

Okay, don't laugh and I'm sharing this just fyeyes only, but today's the 1st time I ever played poker online for real money. Yes, I'm onna those. So imagine my delight to be playing in gamesgrid poker's $1000 guaranteed $5 y .50 tourney tonite, only to be the grrl in the bubble...



oy vey. And it's not that I don't think that those six on top totally deserved it way more than me, but that... well! cmon, you know.

I just think it's funny, frustrating and totally shower-worthy (thanks for the tip, rammy). I vow to call myself *bubbles* at the coffeeshop tomorrow, just for the sheer delite of a woman with nice lips saying, "bubbles, cafe au lait" and I actually get to answer to her.

Masochist, they whisper.

But yeah, $5 buyin for $1000 guaranteed is pretty rocking, on gamesgrid's part. I know I'm biased and high off of placing so high first time out of the gate, but there you go, don't say I didn't tell you about it. (Is that why you read? I have no idea why I'm getting some hits on here, and I'll freely admit I'm hella interested why you're stopping by and reading my North Dakota post over and over again. So leave me a comment, email, smokesignals... lmk why you're here-- throw me a bone here!)

So, poker y blogs... I wanted to thank Al for putting a link to me on his page, my first link! So, for popping my link bubble…

I gotta tell you, again and again I'm fascinated how information flows thru my fingers, technorati y my rss feed. Which kinda reminded me, a few days ago I read this

It's funny, but you'd think online poker sites besides [CrossedLovers] would be open to supporting the poker blogging community.

on Bonus Code IGGY, dammit! and I didn't really know what to say. Since, this is my place to think *and* say and the reason why I'm gently falling out of crushlove and into real for this mode of information dissemination... I'm such a chickensh!t sometimes. I just don't know how to respond to things, or even if I should (shaky ground here, you know).

(It’s hard when you carry on conversations more in your head than with your mouth, too.)

But my job is so cool since I'm doing *exactly* what Iggy wonders if someone’s doing—supporting the blogging community— by reading it, subscribing and linking to it,c  as well as passing it up my food chain. (no mail about starting sentences with conjunctions, pls!) It's not all I do, but I do it cos we *are* interested in players not just on the tables, but as real human heads and all.

I wanna get up the nerve to ask if GamesGrid would set up a wpbt event... but I worry that
a) bloggers would scoff at me
b) GG would say, get back in your hole, plebe!

I have issues, si señors y señoritas. Mm, señoras.

eek.

On another note that made me forget my sheepishness for a moment: Big love to my UC DAVIS pal o mine, UCD Aces for taking 1st at tonite's $100 freeroll. You sir owe ME a lapdance.



Sleepy,
