Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
RT -$1186
Ran aground 68th of 402(50 paid) in the I-Poker $45k g"tee AT into AK - shipped an extra buyin on a move and then ran into Aces.
Middle phase - looked to get aggressive - a couple of flat calls behind and missed flops requiring a slow down.
Was getting short so AT push correct - would have settled for a race.
I need to have a look at my golf/cricket "books" too - as a bit of loss to add to the above!
Gulp : RT -$1346

Looking back on last night"s game - I was almost in a trance playing - I didn"t do anything particularly wrong but weird to be so on auto-pilot!
Looks like a day off the day today.
I had lunch with my father, just turned 77, still very quick of mind, a good omen.
I am not sure that he has ever played poker, but he enjoys a game of nomination whist, still time to get him on tour??
It would be good to have a legitimate hand that was your age - tricky though - at the moment I am playing 36 (suited)
Further it must be really gutting to reach 40, no legitimate hand for two whole years!
Aside - I visited my mother the other evening and her husband (re-married) had made five rough hewn xylophones from some Norweigan Maple from a local wood - I think this is the kind of news that should go on News at Ten.
We then discussed the difference between Xylophones and Marimbas:

I like discussions with;
a/ no answers
b/ answers
... easily satisfied ... smile.
Further dialogues to follow.
I was thinking about Diogenes the other night - he was a philosopher who lived in a tub and ate onions - rejecting all refinements (such as clothing) - so the story goes Alexander the Great ships up to ask him what he could do for him - to which Diogenes replies "... you can stand out of my light and let me see the sun"
Class!
Who is your favourite philosopher and why?

Aboard the "Euston Flyer" - Carlisle to London in 3 hours 23 mins!
Earlier I watched a guy and his girlfriend drinking Buds and Smirnoff Ices, all opened by his teeth, but early for that type of thing in my opinion, very solid technique though.
Do you think anyone has ever managed to suck a cork out of a (non-sparking) wine bottle?
Curry in Brick Lane tonight.

I am quite liking the idea of calling a future cat "Henri B"
Today - a glorious Saturday at home - only thought is what food to eat - Ideal.
Managed to win a snooker match for the first time in years yesterday (3-2) - a real classic of terrible play.
Would have played golf - but for the lightning!
Keenly awaiting odds for the World Champs in Nottingham.
