Back to school today. On the way Lincoln is looking out the window. He asks, “is that a hand glider?” I say “it sure is hon.” There’s this quiet in the back seat and I can almost hear the wheels turning … I say “whatcha thinking Lincoln?” He says “they ought to call it a death glider”. Gotta laugh and that’s a wonderful way to start your day.

Saturday with the Tyner clan involves cheerleading, gymnastics and generally a Costco run. Today no exception. I am working diligently to get everything ready for the WSOP run late this month – lots of supplements and much involved in pulling that off but I can’t wait. Got the new souped up IPAD yesterday and it is very very cool.

Took the gators to Sunday School today and then to the movies to see How to Train Your Dragon. At dinner we talked about what they learned in church this morning and it was about asking God for things and you shall receive. Lincoln wanted to do the prayer for our dinner so I knew it would be good .. “Dear God, we learned this morning if we really really want something we’re supposed to ask you for it so here goes .. I really want to see The Three Stooges breakdance.” Too funny

Well this wasnt the event which changed my mind of Venetian tournaments. I stopped and picked up some surgical masks so I wouldn’t have to breathe both the smoke and that awful stuff they spray in the air. Was rocking and rolling along until my AA ran into KK and a K hit the flop and a K hit the river … it’s poker … I’m out and home and getting to spend some great time with the gators. Going to pop some real popcorn right now (not the microwave stuff) and enjoy their great minds.

Although I hate playing the smoke filled Venetian tournaments it is the best value in town today. They are doing some megas for tomorrow’s $2k event so I will go try my hand. Have a good friend who is interested in playing and I haven’t seen much of her this winter so we will meet there … but probably play in different events. I plan on playing tomorrow no matter today’s outcome. Maybe this will be the event which changes my opinion of Venetian tournaments.

Well I’ve been licking my wounds since Bellagio’s less than illustrious finish. I did my post game analysis and looked carefully at what I could have done differently. Business is hectic, which is good, and lots on the forefront. Might play Venetian tomorrow and will definitely play their Main Event on Saturday. Back in the trenches.
