TripJax's quiz

A decent week at the tables continues.I won $110 on Tues night and $7 last night at $50 nl 6 max at Laddys.My Maw and Paw are off to Florida today so I popped over last night after work for a while.My Mum was panicking because she’s had her 45 days at Party’s beginners tables and they are now closed to her! She managed to turn her $50 into $104 at the $5nl tables and when she gets back from holiday will be logging on at Laddys or Pokerstars to continue her real money adventure.I showed her the link for Erics flop calculator ( told her to make a donation too) on Grinders blog.When she asked what Grinders site was I think I muttered something about an online poker diary and clicked Erics link.My blog aint exactly full of classified information but first and foremost its my personal diary and who’d want their Mum to read that?


I watched Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-1 in the Champions league final when I got home.Not much of a game after the ref sent off Arsenals keeper which was a pity but at least the best team in Europe won.My mate came over after the game for our weekly Halo fest and it was after that I hit the tables for my $7 profit.

As my folks are away I got the call from my Gran this morning to say her tv isn’t working so I’m heading there first after work before picking up Step A ( Mrs A working tonight ) and heading home.

Just back ( typed above earlier) and it was quite sad visting my Gran as there was nothing wrong with the tv.She must have just hit the av button by mistake.Quickly sorted but had to show her several times how to change the channel despite the instructions taped to the back o fit.Getting old is shit.I want to stay 33 ( ok 27 if I had the choice) forever.
