Season championship, poker tonight

The championship was a lot of fun. I played well until the final table, but then started stepping on my dick after busting Alexa. I got her with my AA killing her AK. I put in a standard raise from the CO, then she pushed all in from the BB. I thought about it, though, because I had plenty of chips and didn't want to get eliminated at the final table, so I spent a little time thinking about it. I don't know if I would have called if a suckout would have eliminated me, but I got there after a minute of thinking. I know it's a bit whack to not insta-call with AA before the flop, but I was THINKING about my play which was good. Anyhow, my aces held and Alexa was out. I then proceeded to go on tilt from the win ("I am invincible!") and bust out in within the next 10 hands. Lesson learned.
After the championship I played in the cash game ($1, $2 blinds, $100 max buy in). I played for 5 hours and didn't do too bad. Didn't do too good, either, but it's all good. I cashed out $74, but I figure without toking the dealer or waitress I was about even on the night.
All in all, a mediocre performance, but it was fun.

Tonight I'm going down to T town to play in a freeroll at the Varsity where there are CASH PRIZES for the top 3. I get to hang out with Beth, who I haven't seen in ages, and I am looking forward to it. Yay!

Baseball can be kinda boring

This clip shows how to keep it entertaining.
I want this guy in my corner

Went for a drive yesterday

J and I went down to Kelso yesterday. We stopped in to see J2 (Ed's significant other) and had dinner with her. It was nice to get to know her better. It seems like they've been together forever but I barely know her. My opinion WRT to J2 has been "she seems pretty cool and seems well matched with Ed" but it was only based on meeting her a couple of times and Ed's apparent happiness with her. I can now proudly say that I have an independent opionion re: J2, and that opinion is that she's interesting and funny and cool. Not that anyone else cares, but I am happy to know her better.
J and I also got to borrow the FiL's Nissan 350z. I drove most of the way, but I didn't get to really "drive" it. I-5 doesn't have any fun twisty bits. It was still fun to drive.
