PlayerN: Speed kills...
http://nplayern.blogspot.com/2008/11/speed-kills.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. Thoughts of a bad-ass poker player v. 1. I looked down at pocket 5s, I wanted a cigarette pretty bad, but I had a feeling about the hand. A pretty flop of A59 rainbow played out in my head. I scratched my temple. Might even raise this bitch I thought to myself. The dealer, another jackass with a rap, the same one, over and over again, put the flop cards down, and teased us before turning them saying his catchphrase, "Wait for it.". The turn looked like brick city to the guy i...

PlayerN: Cut-Day
http://nplayern.blogspot.com/2009/03/cut-day.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. I can't go for that, no-o, no can do," she smiled with a glint in her eye. We had spent half a day together, a long reckless day, driving 100 mph on the interstate in a beat up Honda that looked like it would struggle to go 70. Already that morning we took a dip in a fountain in a public park. We split a beer and then she came up with the destination. No can do.". She wrangled the lighter from me, and laughed some more. The window's open. Don't worry.". I shook my head. I shook my...

PlayerN: Folding Pocket Twos
http://nplayern.blogspot.com/2009/02/folding-pocket-twos.html
Saturday, February 7, 2009. I waited, and waited for the next raindrop to hit. A gust rattled the drainpipe on the side of my house and shifted even the sturdy oak in my front yard but no more drops. Still, I waited for the second rain drop. I looked for darkening mositure on the street but it did not come. I dejectedly hit the fold button. I made it more of decision then I needed to. Even if I was right I didn't need to get involved in the hand. We were on the cusp of the bubble. The truth of the matter...

PlayerN: Silverback Issue Two Gulf Coast Poker Magazine part three
http://nplayern.blogspot.com/2010/05/silverback-issue-two-gulf-coast-poker_23.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. Silverback Issue Two Gulf Coast Poker Magazine part three. For those two. Yet, it didn't feel standard at all to me. Action on Two Times and he stared at Silverback’s cards and right through them, I knew he was waiting. Silverback had nothing, complete garbage, and was waiting to make a move if Two Times checked. I was frozen stiff I didn’t know who scared me more. Suddenly I was playing a game of Texas Holdem. 8221; he bellowed. Did he know I had signaled, how could he? 8220;Well, ...

http://nplayern.blogspot.com/2009/01/okay-theres-card-in-there.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Okay, there's a card in there. I quickened my step even more. The gaps between gusts shortened with each bluster and through the last of the pauses, as the branches unbowed and the leaves and moss settled, the house encompassed more with each step on the hardened mud. As I ascended the rise, it loomed, like the storm at its back, rising bigger and broader with darkness. An iron knocker as pitch black as the door raked my temple as I tried to envelope my head in my jacket. A...

PlayerN: I Hate Big Hands
http://nplayern.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-hate-big-hands.html
Monday, April 20, 2009. I Hate Big Hands. In live play, you look at those Ogre hands and you never know if it's your turn to act or if the guy has got a pair of cards buried under there and he is contemplating monosyllabically in his head. "DO. I. CALL? You chose not to pee next to him because if his hands are that big. Yeah, admit it, just like farting your way to an Earthrise on the portal window, this thought has creeped in your mind too. And not see the guy mashing his mouse with brick hands. Wow Gre...

Do You See What I See (Part 2) Gulf Coast Poker Magazine Issue 1. 8220;What do you see on that table, son? 8221; The Grey Bear pointed to the five cards face up in the middle of green felt. “ I say that’s two clubs and a spade. They say that’s three clubs,” he hissed at me. “What do you see? One of the gangsters looked at me menacingly. The smack didn’t come. 8221; he bellowed. I did as he asked and walked out toward the bartender for the Bourbon and Branch. The bartender laughe...

Incidentally, I hope those people who are trying to extort her fans by charging crazy prices take a bath on their tickets. As the show started, I noticed a woman walking along the outside of the floor seats. She had security around her. It was Taylor Swift's mom. How do I know? I caught myself singing along with 10 year old boys and g...
