You know you suck at both golf and bowling when...

...your golf score is higher than your bowling score. I went golfing with Ricky and Ringer at 7:45 in the freaking morning on Tuesday and put up a solid 123. I hate that game. I hate bowling too, when we went this weekend I bowled like a 100 average, which didn't win me any money.

VinnyVT asked after my last post if we've even been playing any poker while we're out here...and the answer is yes. I've played around 14k hands online this month and it's going really well. I feel like I've been playing great except for one pretty tilty session. I've also played several live sessions with my last few being sessions at 2/5 at the Rio, which went really well. It's amazing how bad the players are there, and apparently they aren't much better at 5/10 so I plan on taking a shot at that game once I build my live roll up to about 5k. I also started playing chinese poker with Tiltbad, Coordi, and Cow the other night, which was my first time playing. We decided to play for $1 a point and I finished the night up about $20, but it will be a continuous game throughout the summer so we'll just keep tabs on it. I played video poker the other day at the bowling alley while waiting for it to be late enough for $1 bowling, which is pretty sad seeing as how we're all making a ridiculous hourly but are too nitty to pay $6/game instead of $1/game. Anyway, I had determined that video poker was unbeatable, until today when I met a professional video poker player. I guess with the comps the casino gives him he has like a 0.25% edge on the casino...lol swongs much?

Today we had a cookout at our house and about 25 other 2+2'ers, mainly full ring players, showed up. Somehow I got stuck with grill duty again and worked my magic on a lot of hot dogs and hamburgers, but I managed to burn the hell out of some ribs. I've never tried to grill ribs before, but apparently you don't put the BBQ sauce on them right away (wasn't my idea). Two of Ringer's friends were working everyone in cornhole the entire afternoon, and during one of our games against them I gave George 5:1 on $10 that he couldn't sink his last bag. He had previously missed the board on his first 3 shots and I'd just watched him shotgun 2 beers, but apparently he's really really clutch when money is involved because he sank the damn thing. Then I lost $5 to Tiltbad playing ping pong. And another $10 to Cow at ping pong. Today was not a successful day for propbets.

Yesterday was a different story though. Last week I flipped Cow on FTP for his roll of $41 and he won, then we flipped again and he lost. He was obviously still upset about losing his roll that he had worked so hard to grind up at the microstakes one day (he really plays 5/10), so yesterday he wanted to do a real life PLO flip for $41. I won. Then he wanted to do one for $82. I won. He kept increasing the amount so that if he won the flip I would owe him $41 and eventually he was stuck like $650 to me. I wanted to walk away then, but I told him I'd flip him one last time since I kind of felt bad that he was stuck that much but if he got stuck over $1k to me then that was his problem haha. He binked two pair on the last of his cards that he flipped over, which was better than my two pair. FML. We then started doing 4 way $100 PLO flips and I ended up making $300. Ship ship!
