Great stuff Geo. In another life you might have made a career out of wildlife photography, you seem to have the required traits. Stealth, patience, and determination.
The wife laughed at that. I have become a very impatient man with everyday life things, so much so I've stepped away from working for a while now as I was becoming so frustrated. I do however find it easy to maintain patience for this sort of thing, I find a kind of inner calmness whenever I'm on "the hunt." I can spend hours on end waiting, sometimes with little end result and it matters not a jot.
Put me amongst a group of dithering know - it - alls in the work environment and I can completely lose it.
Poor Bruh the dealer. He's a good dealer. You can tell. It was Bruh who yesterday managed to make three mistakes in the same Badugi pot, which the Russian won against me. Whilst I am completely ambivalent to the fact that moments like that change the deck because its all part of the randomness, there was some irony in the fact that in a pot that Makarov won, the latter errors were almost definitively caused by his massive over reaction to the first. I think Bruh knew that his mistakes had changed it, and I wanted him to know that it really didn't matter; a butterfly flapping it's wings somewhere had changed everything too.
Bruh was back today, and you could tell had even more determination in his professional attitude. But, poor Bruh maybe was too determined, he fumbled my last card in 2-7 no limit. If you're a dealer, you always want a card that you fumble to be bad. Poor Bruh fumbled the deuce of spades. That should have been bad for me, but actually was the best news. I already had a deuce in my T632. My replacement card was a 7, to make a big hand. We got all in, and I doubled through Makarov. He deserves no anti-karma, he was alot of fun and did apologise yesterday. But I hope Bruh saw what had happened, and that it had all evened out in the end.
Pure class sir, many poker players would still be ranting and raving over social media if it had happened to them, some may even have tried to lose the guy his job. I have very little knowledge of the mixed games however your updates had me on the edge of my seat at times, superb effort and thank you.
Questions
1. You touched on it briefly, however:
When it is your pick, what are your thoughts when deep but short, I assume it wouldn't be as simple as picking your favourite game. Would you be picking games where it would be more likely you would have to commit most/all your chips or games where you could potentially have some betting freedom and be able to get away if needs be (hope that make sense.)
Last week my son and I were working in the back garden when we heard a bit of a commotion in one of the neighbours gardens. On investigation we found one of the wifes i a bit of distress and pointing underneath the shed where the foxes seemed to have their den.
On looking we could see a cub dragging both back legs, it took us a wee while to get him out and unfortunately as well as the legs looking bust he had a puncture wound in his side. We took him uo to the SSPCA who called us after they had a vet look at him but the wee soul didn't make it.
Mrs Geo was quite distressed as a couple of days earlier we had been informed that another cub had been found dead in one of the adjoining gardens. We had only ever seen 2 cubs and for the past few nights Mrs Geo has sat in the garden awaiting the Vixen and when she has appeared for the food we put out for her she would commiserate with her and I think she felt a wee bit of guilt as we hadn't been able to save the second cub.
Got back from playing golf earlier and went down to put some food out as we do each evening. The mother was in the garden and after we pit some food out and retreated to a distance she is comfortable with us being she started gathering the food and heading in a different direction that she would normally, returning every couple of minutes to gather more.
