Doing My Part...

I submitted lengthy post on Cardrunner seeking individuals to join the Department of Correctional and Rehabilitation. I have between 6-8 years of service before I call it quits. So I feel the need to do my part in finding individuals who want to step up an join the team. In all honesty, if I was 21, and I did not have a clear direction, I mean crystal clear, then I would join right up. I don't know many 21 and 22 year old's who make 125,000 and own there own home. It is that easy, and with 401k and deferred comp, then you retire a millionaire with full medical/dental. If you go the long haul (33 years) then you get the whole paycheck for life, and that will be over 100K. So, as I say, come on in, the water is fine.

I spend my mothers day with 4000 felons, of which 3/4 are mothers. It is an odd situation, I respect the work mothers do, but man, when mom is a crack addict or she whacked the old man in a drunken rage, how do you say, "Happy Mothers Day"? But as life is in the largest women's prison in the world, we had a near death on the main yard. Here it is Mother's Day, and ol' girl has to shove enough heroin into her system to kill her. But as it is expected, the guards and medics get to work and bring the dead back to life. So our little miss needle monster gets to see another Mother's Day!

Poker has been getting better. I have had a string of positive sessions. I have been in the green for the week for the first time. I am really focusing on my hands, and I am trying to put the evil villains on hand. I need work to continue. I am still having problem with middle pairs and the c-betting. I am really trying not to hit the home run shove without the nuts. I haven't shoved but twice in the week and both times stacked the villain. I am finding something new in the game. It appears that when you look down at QQ, and you re-raise, and the villain 4 bets and you call, then the flop is QK7. Apparently your not suppose to call a flop bet that puts you all in. Man because when I did, and flipped up AA, he was pissed off to no end.

I read an article in a poker mag that explains how to tilt a player. I generally don't go there, ya see I am 45 years old, we don't play like that. But this guy, he was a real ass. My advice is that homie don't every f-up and hit the joint, he would have a chance. Anyway, so this seemed like the right guy to take a shot at. I let about 20 minutes pass since my set doubled me up and then relived the hand via the chat room. You know, "Hey did you guys see how I got my QQ in with the best of it to a pair of AA's. Man that hand is so over played, it is easy to bust someone like that". WOW!! I can't even publish the remarks. LOL!!!! POKER!
