It's starting to get colder out there T-Boners. Being in Dallas, I realize I
don't have much to complain about when it comes to the cold. It's just colder
than normal, which in Texas/Louisiana terms means it's "chili season".
There's nothing like some 5-alarm chili on a cold windy day.
I went back home to Shreveport, Louisiana this past weekend to visit with my
folks a bit. I guess we went because it's the halfway point between my
brother's birthday and mine. So he brought a few of his friends and we went
to Horseshoe Casino one night. Nobody in that group is much of a gambler,
so they are the kind of people that casinos love to have walk on the boat.
I have been practicing Texas Hold 'Em for a while and I have gotten pretty
good at it over the past few months. I'm consistent in winning or getting
runner up in the weekly tournament at Rocky's Grille and I play great online
when I get a chance. So I figured I was ready to
What I like about gambling at the Hold 'Em tables is that you are in control.
Yes, you do fall to the fate of the cards here and there, but you are not
obligated to play every hand. If you aren't in the blinds, you choose to play
the hand that is given you. If you feel you can't win, fold and there's no loss.
You are not at the mercy of a dealer, a wheel, the toss of the dice, or a
"random" machine. No, the skilled players have control because they know
how to bet, when to play, and when not to play. That's why I'll strive to get
better, and take all the suckers next time I go gambling.
I found out some sad news yesterday. One of my favorite pro wrestlers,
Eddie Guerrero passed away. Monday Night Raw was a tribute to him, and I
think Friday Night Smackdown will be a tribute as well. The worst thing about
handle his rigorous schedule. He died in his hotel room. It is sad to see
someone who turned his life around and found the right path in life die so
early. Eddie was one of the best wrestlers ever, but over the past 4 years,
he proved that he was more than that. He showed he is a great man with
the willpower to overcome his past and lead a great life.
Next week, be sure to check in for a special addition. I will be doing a
pregame analysis of the Day After Thanksgiving Classic between the
Rapists and the Pillagers. If you have no idea what I am talking about, check
out the Videos page and watch last year's epic battle.
I'm not trying to be bias here, but I honestly think the Washington Redskins
have some of the best uniforms in football (especially Clinton Portis' socks).
Also in consideration are Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Kansas City
Chiefs, and San Diego Chargers. What do you think?
The Indianapolis Colts are 9-0 right now. Who can beat them? Anyone CAN
beat them, but if I had to pick the first team to do it, I'd say Jacksonville or
San Diego. It might come down to whether the Colts care more about
keeping their players healthy for the playoffs or going undefeated.
A-Rod won the AL MVP. He may deserve it, but that just means he's the
best player in the regular season. Did anybody watch the post season,
though?
Please Rocket, one more year!
Did they pick Caroline Rhea to host "The Biggest Loser" because she's fat
and Kirstie Alley wasn't available?
That's all for me. Throw up a "T" for...
T-BONE!
