I haven't been posting in the past few days because i have been over in crazy land(Canada). Toronto is a really cool city but i just don't think i would be able to deal with how far behind they are compared to the good ol u.s. of a. It just feels like when you go over there you are going back in time by like 20 years. They just run everything so inefficiently, everything is over priced, and it seems as though they just go out of their way to be different than the u.s. Alright enough of the Canada rant and on to the Toronto trip. We were only there for 2 nights but we did a lot of stuff in the short amount of time. We went and checked out the hockey hall of fame which was really cool but it was kind of funny because it was in like a strip mall haha. I guess i was just expecting it to be some really nice building and didn't expect it to be connected to a Starbucks. I got some pictures that i will have to try and put up, including one with the Stanley cup. Our hotel was only a few streets over from yonge st. so we were able to walk to all kinds of different bars and it was a pretty fun time. The only part that really sucked was their lack of alcohol and alcohol knowledge. Every bar we went to had like no liquor, everything tasted completely watered down, and they had no idea on how to make any drinks or shots. We went to this bar that looked pretty nice down in their main bar district and i asked for a 7&7 and they looked at me like i was retarded. The girl even asked the owner who was standing by the bar and they both said that they have never even heard of the drink haha. I could understand if i said some weird type of drink but a 7&7? I'm not positive but i think its one of the most common drinks ever created. Toronto was a pretty fun time but after 2 nights of intense boozing i was ready to get back to the u.s and relax...... Well that was the plan until my roommate told me he had an extra Aerosmith ticket and it was back over to Canada. Aerosmith is one of those bands that i was thinking would be great to see because they are one of the biggest rock bands ever but all in all i was pretty disappointed with their performance. They didn't really sound that great, they played a ton of their slower songs, and Steven Tyler was pretty lame. I'm sure it would've been great to see them like 20 years ago but i just wasn't impressed with the show they put on. Fortunately for me we had been downing tons of drinks so you would've probably thrown any band up there and i still would've had a fun time. Also i haven't seen Tyler on TV or anything in a few years and when i saw him on the big screen i noticed he looks like an old woman haha. http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Tyler,_Steven/gallery/TTO-002724/ he kind of looks like a younger Joan rivers. It was still a really fun time at the concert but i guess i just expected more out of aerosmith. Anyways tonight is boat night so I'm about to head over to the pregame and start boozin so check back in the next few days and I'm out.

Busy/fun week coming up......
Between going to Toronto for a few days, bayfest http://www.sarniabayfest.com/, and boat night i think this is going to be a really fun week. On Saturday night after a "few" drinks a couple friends(heyboer and goudy) and i decided that we need to go up to Toronto for a couple days during this week. I'm not to sure what gave us this idea(shots of cabo wabo) but Toronto is a really cool city and I'm pretty excited to get out of town and take a break from poker for a few days. I ran into a stretch of a few weeks where i was really burned out from poker and didn't feel like playing at all but now I'm back into the swing of things and have been playing great poker. Yesterday i decided to play some real poker and stayed away from the donkaments after last weeks mess. I only played for a few hours at the 5/10 games but was able to win about 1.5k which is pretty good for the little amount of time i played. My stereo receiver that i ordered a http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers/onkyo-tx-sr605-black/4505-6466_7-32430579.html while ago just got here so I'm going to wrap this up and go screw around with that for a while. Anyways this is going to be a busy week so I'm not sure of when the next time i will be posting but check back in a few days and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1269880 - this was the only big pot from yesterday and i make a pretty good call here. When he limped in then called my raise i immediately put him on a mid pair like 10s. I actually thought about re raising the flop here but i was pretty sure he did have a mid pair and i think the only way my re raise gets called is by a hand that beats me. The 6 was a bad turn because i had him on some sort of mid pair which means now I'm only beating 77,88,1010. The heart on the river didn't change anything because i didn't have him on the draw and i don't think he would just limp in mid position with a pair of jacks. With that being said its still 500 bucks to call when theoretically there are only 3 hands i can beat, the 77,88, and 10s. I thought for a while and just had to go with my read which was right but it was still a tough call to make.
