Gluttony

Mmmm! Nothing like a casino buffet.

In the past, before casino's were everywhere, I heard food at a casino was always dirt cheap. I found that not to be true, but in the case of our casino in Milwaukee it is a true bargain in that it is most excellent in quality for the price.

It was our anniversary last Tuesday and we went to the dinner buffet. Our last visit we went for lunch and I wasn't impressed with absolutely everything but that may be because we arrived late in the service. I tried nearly all the meats at dinner and they were all fabulous. I never saw anyone eat as much shell fish as my wife did.

After only one trip to the dessert buffet I hit a wall. I was shocked. It may have something to do with my weight loss strategy, simply stated as 'hunger.' My stomach must have shrunk. But that eggnog cake was to die for. Very light fluffy white cake with an eggnog cream on top and layered between so delicately.

I was actually losing weight and the buffet didn't send my weight back up. It didn't give me indigestion or constipation and I slept like a baby that night. Obviously great food well prepared.

We walked by the poker room and I was surprised that it was nearly full on a Tuesday evening. I am slowly advancing towards my goal of making over $1 million play money on each of the major poker sites. Though you can recharge your initial $1k or $2k starting balance when you lose it all, I am working never to recharge when I start on a new site. If I have a bad day I just drop down to the lower stakes games as not to threaten going bust. It would be a strategy I would use in real life if I could afford to put $2k into a savings account. Making withdrawals, it's $200 minimum to get into a no-limit game, and going to the casino and redeposit my balance afterwards. Just not letting the account reach an inconsequential level, waiting for a big breakout. A good way to track any potential income for April 15th too.

But we have too much debt to divert that kind of resource right now. But if we didn't that is the way we would have to go, since I certainly wouldn't have the resources to travel to any major tournaments with our income.

Happy 2010

Today I qualified for a freeroll main event this Sunday. Texas Hold'm, no limit of course. I find I play better when I switch back from Omaha hi/lo. The winner gets hockey tickets and a cool $1,000. Not sure if I'll be free at the designated time but I hope so. There is always e-bay, cause I'm quite sure I wont be using the tickets.

Hopefully we all have goals and dreams to fulfill is this great year of 2010. One goal would be to find out how to put your picture on the poker site avatars. Do you have to make a deposit for that function to be available? I don't play cash games. Haven't been able to do it to date. I was playing with our web cam and took a picture I was hoping to put up. My best poker face.
