A brief

I only played a few sessions of poker in the last week. In a short session of 5/10 on Full Tilt, I managed a net win of $500. The other (2) session were on Poker.com. In total, the net result was pretty much break even. Yesterday was unkind. The most interesting hand of note came at 1/2 6-max. The small blind raised to 18 with AQs. I raised all-in with AA. He made trips on the river.

In other news, Jean Robert Bellande has maneuvered his way a third of the way through Survivor China. It is improbable. Actually, it seems outright impossible, but he will certainly continue to entertain in future episodes.

I apologize for a lack of updates. I'm in transition of beginning a blog on TheRailbirds.com. Unfortunately, progress is slower than I had planned. Thankfully, however, the horses are rollin'.

Laziness

At the University of Kansas, four years ago, I invented a variation of Hold'em and Omaha. It is a five-card game in which a card is discarded before the flop, turn and river. A player is left with (2) cards before the river card is dealt. I appropriately named it 'Jayhawk'. Jayhawk Hi/lo is a very dynamic game. In fact, I have played it on a few occasions with friends, some of which are professional poker players. For the most part, they were very intrigued by the game. Unfortunately, I am lazy and did not copyright it, albeit it would have required a different name for obvious copyright infringement. I was browsing 2+2 and I realized someone else has already copyrighted 'Jayhawk'. Hopefully, Northern Lights Poker will not become as popular as I once hoped, otherwise I will require heavy medication throughout the remainder of my life. Sigh...
