Poker and Watches!!!

I played poker this past weekend. A real game, medium stakes. I cashed in the tournament and won $100, then I won 250+ in the cash game after. I got real lucky on 1 hand. I had build my cash game chips up to $400. The guy who had the 2nd highest chips had $350. I had pocket KK, I raised it to $20, everyone folds except him who calls. It flops 26Q. He bets out $35, I call. Turn comes 3. He bets $75, I push all in $300 more. He goes into the tank for 5 minutes before folding pocket AA. Wow, I got lucky.

I am a big watch fan. I had been a member of a watch web site for 4-5 months called Watch Talk Forum, where people come to chat about watches. Well, there is a part of the site where people can go to talk about other things than watches. Well the site owner is quite religious and quite easily tolerates anything pro-Christianity, however if you make any comments not %100 excitingly pro-Christianity, he will boot you from the site forever. Well, someone requested quotes about religion by famous people, I simply put Gov. Jesse Venturas quote "Religion is simply a crutch for the weak minded." Bam, I was gone. I even tried to apologise to him but then he sends me this e-mail: "I think you need to take ownership of your responsibility in this matter. if you are going to maintain the position that this is simply a misunderstanding, and not acknowledging incredibly poor judgement on your part, your ban will remain permanent." Now this was after I apologised. I am not groveling to this idiot. I simply became a member of a new and larger web site: www.watchuseek.com. They seem to be a bit more tolerant.

Ok I got a new watch on my radar. It is absolutely stunning. It is a bit pricy, but I am in love.

  1. Mark - howdy from Dallas. I run Bachendorf's social media and just came across your forum post on the watches you tried on at the Galleria store. Did you end up buying from them? Would you recommend them to friends? I wanted to contact you and see if you would like to converse via social media with Bachendorf's, either as a guest blogger or just posting every once and a while on FB and Twitter. I've posted links below to the sites! Thanks so much!
