Event #17 $1500 HORSE

I haven't concluded whether I should be playing tourneys like this or not. I'm much better than many of the players but significantly worse than many others. I'm likely to get something going but unlikely to get super deep, and winning would take a series of miracles. I really need to sharpen my skills in several mixed games if I want to keep playing them, but there's almost no chance of that happening now.

I played well today and didn't make any obscene mistakes but was slightly overmatched on occasion and ultimately expired late at night after losing a huge pot to one of the better players, Pat Pezzin.

I don't know if I'll see Cyndy Violette the rest of the Series as she's gotten away from NLHE the last few years, so she's the Poker Hottie of the Day. I was staring her down from a distance this evening, marveling like I would at some gorgeous mountain peak.

Cyndy has made health her priority and it's really paying dues. At 51, Cyndy still rocks a bodacious body highlighted by strong, sexy arms, shoulders, and a spectacular rack that laughs in the face of gravity. She's hard and soft in all the right places. The one time I played with her, she was cool, cordial, and never tapped on the aquarium while witnessing some horrific stud-8 plays - which is more than can be said for some other name pros I played with today.
