"Close only counts in horseshoes and slow dancing."
Earlier in the summer, during the free few days I had between when school let out and when I started my work in Teaneck, I cashed at two tournaments in Bally's in Atlantic City. Now that I had another free week after my Teaneck work was done, I went back this week.
Monday I played in the $50 tournament at 1 pm. There were 47 people, top 5 spots paid. I came in 7th.
Tuesday I played in the $50 tournament at 6 pm. There were 84 people, top 9 spots paid. We were down to 11 people, two tables. This guy on the other table and I went out simultaneously in 11th and 10th place.
Both times I was there for four hours with nothing to show for it. I'm simultaneously happy about how I played and annoyed that I didn't win anything.
I think I need to take a break from A.C. and/or poker for a little while. :)

July Poker League - Player Profiles
Now, I know all of you readers have been asking yourselves, "Ok, so who are all these wacky characters competing in the MSM Poker League?"
Ok, first of all, MSM stands for Margaret St. Mafia Poker League, and this has been the official name of our league. However, MSM is also an abbreviation that the New Jersey State Health Department has regarding STDs for "Men Having Sex with Men". Be assured, no men are having sex with men in our poker league, at least not that I'm aware of.
Now that THAT is out of the way, here are some of the players and a brief profile on each, in no particular order:
DONKEY: Donkey is a friend of True and Karma's and has quickly become a friend to all of us. Despite strongly resembling Big Pussy from the Sopranos in this picture, he actually is a regular looking guy who, as far as we know, does not rat out his friends. Actually, I don't think he's even of Italian descent. Donkey is a nice guy with lots of poker experience who can be reckless with his chips, leading to wild swings. By the end of the league, he may finally shed the Donkey label once and for all.
ZEUS: (with Dakota and Jake) Zeus doesn't physically resemble a Greek God. He was so dubbed due to his seemingly divine ability to throw down the proverbial lightning bolt in key hands to take huge pots. One of the early favorites in the poker league, and father to Pads and My Choice, Zeus had a few surprisingly bad games putting him out of contention for the league title. However, he has shown a return to form in recent weeks and at least now seems more prepared for a couple of August runs to Atlantic City - you know, if this whole July Poker League doesn't work out for him.
CHICK: Sister of league commissioner Daffy, Chick (so named due to the fact that she's the token female player and her online name on Party Poker is Chip Chick) is a solid all-around player. I wish there was something else funny I could write here.
MY CHOICE: My Choice, brother of Pads and son of Zeus, has been the star-crossed player of the season. He claims that he is among the best players but gets crappy luck. So far, he has had plenty of examples this season to support his claim. In retrospect, given that his father is Zeus, we might have named him Hephaestus - a cursed son of Zeus who seems to be crippled by forces out of his control. My Choice comes from the famous 9th birthday video, which I swear I will get on YouTube someday. Infact, I've had it converted it to DVD format from the original VHS already. Anyway...
.COM: .com has proven to be one of the most solid players in our group and the current points leader. An intelligent, unpredictable, and quirky player, .com is known for stopping for various food items on his way in to play, for wearing funny T-shirts, for his affinity for the post-game diner or bar stops with Pads, and for his appreciation of great stories. You can find him here.
THE TERMINATOR: The Terminator only showed up for one game (#7) and finished in 2nd place, earning herself the name because she terminated many of the players in her run to 2nd place. She played solid tight poker - with regular attendance, who knows where the Terminator would have finished up?
PADS a.k.a. TEEN WOLF: Pads is a mercurial player who is generally relaxed at the table but has been known to fall into bouts of Hellmuthisms and throw his cards in disgust occassionally which always seem to hit .com somehow. His success this season has been spotty. He, however, is a great guy. Trust me, I know him well.
DAFFY: Our resident jester, league commissioner, and overall facilitator of the poker league, Daffy's success has wildly swung. He has a high poker IQ, but is also extremely aggressive and unpredictable. He is currently in 2nd place. Wow, look at that necklace and shirt combo.
Profiles to come: True, Karma, and Lady Luck.

July Poker League - Game #8
To the handful of you that read these updates: I was knocked out first in Game 8 on a tough luck hand and then I left early. I also have returned to South Jersey and will not be attending games #9 and #10. So, the updates will have to come courtesy of those in attendance. The following comments are courtesy of Daffy.
Recap of Game 8 (Thursday, July 24):
Two of the more memorable hands:
1. Karma knocked out by Zeus.
It was down to three players, Zeus, Karma, and .com. .com folded, Zeus called the small blind and Karma checked her option. Flop comes up 4,7,8 rainbow. Karma goes all in and after deliberating for a minute, Zeus makes the call holding 4-5 in the hole. Karma shows 5-6 for the flopped nuts. The turn yields a 5 and the river a 4 - giving Zeus the full house. The strange thing about it was that after Karma showed her hand, everyone at the table conceded that Zeus had lost. It took several seconds before we realized he rivered the full house, thus knocking out Karma and taking the chip lead going into heads-up play.
2. .com knocked out by Zeus.
After enjoying a huge chip lead throughout most of the evening, .com was the underdog as heads-up match began. As .com's stack dwindled he took one last stand with an "all-in" and was called instantly by Zeus. .com showed his 4-5 offsuit and Zeus flipped over pocket kings. As Zeus slowly flipped over the flop one card at a time, a roller coaster of emotions swept through the room. .com needing lots of help to crack the pocket kings saw the flop unfold........4 (small murmur in the crowd)..........then a 5 (large uproar).........then a king (even larger uproar). 4th and 5th streets were no help to .com as a 3 and 6 came up.
Tonight:
Zeus - 1st
.com - 2nd
Karma - 3rd
True - 4th
Donkey - 5th
Lady Luck - 6th
Daffy - 7th

WNBA Brawl
I'm usually of the opinion that, in most cases, any publicity is good publicity in the worlds of sports and entertainment. In this light, I don't know if this brawl that occurred in the WNBA last night was necessarily a bad thing for the league. ESPN was talking about it. That can't be all bad, right? I mean, when your goal is to get people to watch your game?

July Poker League - Games #6 and #7
Recap of Game #6 (Thurs, July 17)
Fuckin' Daffy. That seemed to be the mantra of Pads (yours truly).
Eight players were in attendance at the Daffy residence. My Choice and his father Zeus could not attend, and were annoyed at missing the opportunity to gain points in the standings. Prior to playing, a brief discussion ensued as to whether players should be allowed to drop their lowest week's total, and only have your best 9 weeks of points count. Commissioner Daffy felt that since everybody would have at least one week where they had zero points, letting everybody drop a week wouldn't affect the standings. This ruling stood and play began. Play was a little bit different in that the entire Daffy clan had returned from vacation, and there were wives and kids around the house.
Donkey set out to determine that he was not, in fact, a donkey, and started doing well in this regard. He bet aggressively and took a large number of chips from True in a big hand. Shortstacked, True did not last much longer and went out first in 8th place rather quickly. Chick was soon to follow, finishing in 7th place.
True's fiancee Karma lasted a few more minutes but then went out in 6th place. Karma and True left early.
Lady Luck, who had been playing solid poker all evening, took a tough beat the end to go out in 5th place. The top four, .com, Pads, Daffy and Donkey, all were playing well.
Daffy had earlier taken a number of chips off of Pads, calling a big raise with two low unsuited cards and catching a straight on the river. Pads staved off elimination, and with aggressive play made his way back into 2nd place to Daffy's chip lead. In the small blind, Pads went all-in with pocket sevens, and was called instantly by Daffy's A-J suited. Daffy his a J to put Pads out in 4th place and to obtain a tremendous chip lead.
.com, now shortstacked, followed in 3rd place. After a short battle, Daffy took out Donkey who had an impressive 2nd place showing.
Points (Total):
Daffy - 11 (39)
.com - 5 (34)
Pads - 3 (20)
True - 0 (20)
My Choice - 0 (17)
Chick - 0 (13)
Donkey - 7 (7)
Karma - 0 (7)
Lady Luck - 1 (4)
Zeus - 0 (4)
---------------------------------------------
Recap of Game 7 (Mon, July 21)
The venue for Game 7 was a bit unexpected. The game took place at Daffy's erstwhile residence on Howard Street in Teaneck, which is the current residence for Daffy's parents. Daffy's father has been known to disapprove of Daffy's choice of friends over the years, and so some awkwardness was to be expected.
The game had eight players. True, Karma, and Lady Luck were not in attendance. However, a new player entered the fray, The Terminator. The Terminator did not disappoint in her first night of action.
Pads started off the game rough, not catching any hands for the first 45 minutes of play. Finally, shortstacked with about 135 chips and the blinds at 10-20, Pads went all-in in middle position with 7-2, for the first major victory of the prop bet. Everybody folded to The Terminator, who after much deliberation, called with K-Q. Pads hit a 2, but The Terminator caught a Queen on the river to knock Pads off first in 8th place and in doing so, saving the table $! each.
Daffy's aggressive play of late did not work for him this evening, as he went out next in 7th place. Zeus did not see many cards that worked for him either and he slipped out in 6th place. .com shortstacked went out in 5th place. The two ladies at the table, Chick and The Terminator, did much of the damage, and the new Terminator built a big chip lead with Chick close behind.
My Choice had quietly played solid poker (although later he would say he was not happy with his play), and he eventually went out in 4th place. Donkey, Chick and The Terminator were left. Donkey got a little bit antsy and blinds started increasing, pushing big piles of chips around between the three remaining players. Chick gradually pulled the chip lead away from The Terminator. Donkey went out in third place. In a ladies showdown, The Terminator finally finished 2nd, leaving Chick as tonight's winner, and vaulting her to third in the overall standings.
Donkey's improved play led to him being called "Don" for short. However, it is too early to tell if he has earned a permanent change of nickname.
The Terminator's seven points are invalid for the overall standings, but will be summarized below anyway.
Points (Total):
Daffy - 0 (39)
.com - 1 (35)
Chick - 12 (25)
My Choice - 3 (20)

July Poker League - Games #4 and #5
So I was losing the impetus to blog about these games, thinking nobody read them, but after meeting up with MMG and Side Bar and realizing that I might have more readers than one could count on one hand, I realized that I need to catch up on the recaps of Games 4 and 5! It's been a few days since both events have occurred, so my recaps might not be as verbose as they've been in the past.
Recap of Game 4 (Thurs, July 10)
Shit, to be honest, I don't remember any details of this game. It's been too long since it's happened. All I remember is: it's the first game we've played without Donkey (we only had 9 people) and we played at Daffy's house since his wife and kids were still out of town. .com had a huge chip lead and wound up beating My Choice heads up to win it all.
9th place - Karma
8th place - Zeus (another subpar showing!)
7th place - Chick
6th place - Lady Luck
5th place - Daffy
4th place - True
3rd place - Pads
2nd place - My Choice
1st place - .com (plus, 2 bonus points for knocking off True, last week's winner and current leader)
Points (Total)

Recap of Game 5 (Mon, July 14)
Zeus hosted game 5 at his house in Teaneck. The same 9 players from Game 4 were in attendance for tonight's contest.
The night belonged to Daffy from start to finish - combining good play with timely cards to have a bunch of chips the whole evening.
Lady Luck did not live up to his name and went out early in 9th place, taking a relatively tough beat to go out. Karma had her third tough game in a row, finishing in 8th place.
Play sped up quickly, and True and Pads went out in 7th place and 6th place respectively. Pads bitched about his poor cards briefly. True and Karma left quietly, as Pads happily watched Josh Hamilton catch fire in the home run contest (sour grapes...?)
Zeus played better tonight, but finished into 5th place - earning him one point. Chick played quietly and patiently and went out in 4th place. My Choice, who has gotten warm recently, finished in third place. .com and Daffy battled heads up. Daffy ultimately prevailed, not only finishing first but earning 2 bonus points for knocking off .com at the end.
Points (Total):
.com - 7 (29)
Daffy - 12 (28)

Lady Luck - 0 (3)
Donkey - 0 (0)
Once the tournament was over, .com and Pads were torn between playing cash games and watching The Big Lebowski (the 300th time for .com). I am Pads. I haven't seen Lebowski that many times, and now I realize what I've been missing all these years by not watching Lebowski over and over like many other people. Aside from being hilarious and unique, it might be the most quotable movie ever. Almost every line is quotable in the movie. I didn't realize that Open Bar's erstwhile "Calmer Than You Are" blog was a reference to a line of this classic of American cinema.
Let me tell you something, pendejo - You pull any of that crazy shit with me, you flash your piece on the lane, I'll take it from you, shove it up your ass, and pull the trigger until it goes click!

Michael Vick
Damn... talk about a fall from grace. Anybody remember that this guy is serving two years in a U.S. Penitentiary?

As a side note, I had a surprisingly hard time spelling "penitentiary".

July Poker League - Game #3
Recap of Game 3 (Mon, July 7)
Despite the teasing of new people coming to the game, there were still the same 10 people in attendance at the Daffy residence. However, the tournament started with two tables due to this uncertainty (and the fact that the Daffy living room was too crowded for one table).
The group decided to have the blind clock move faster and to eliminate the smallest level of blinds to make things move a little bit more quickly. This, coupled with the fact that the blinds came around more quickly with two tables, changed the dynamic of the tournament.
Teen Wolf shaved his scraggly beard and will now be called Pads for the purpose of this blog.
At one table sat Pads, Daffy, Karma, Zeus, and .com. At the other table sat Donkey, True, Chick, and My Choice. Lady Luck joined that table a few minutes late. Having lost a little bit of money already, he quickly proceeded to lose the rest of it and finish in 10th place. Donkey breathed a sigh of relief for not finishing in 10th place again.
The group decided to combine tables once 8 people remained.
Karma then slowplayed her A-10 when the flop came A-2-8. Everybody checked to the turn which was a 9. Betting ensued. The river came K. Daffy bet agressively and Karma went all-in and was quickly called by Daffy's K-9 two pair. Slowplaying unfortunately backfired on Karma who finished in 9th. With a bunch of chips, Daffy's table now merged with the other table for the final 8.
Blinds escalated quickly and many people who had not built chip leads only had a handful of big blinds left, leaving people few options but to go all-in. In this manner, Zeus went out in 8th and My Choice went out in 7th place. Donkey, who played much better poker this evening, eventually went out in 6th place.
Pads, who won last week and was the current points leader, was now the short stack. Everybody folded to Daffy, who called from the small blind with 4-4 and Pads checked his 7-2 in the big blind. The flop came 2-4-J. Daffy checked to Pads, who paired up and saw a chance to win $4 in the prop bet. Pads went all in and was quickly called and eliminated in 5th place, earning Daffy 2 extra points. Daffy also had a huge chip stack.
The four remaining players, .com, True, Chick and Daffy, battled for a while. .com eventually went out in 4th place and earned three points. Daffy did not see many playable hands for a while, and saw his huge chip stack start to dwindle and stacks became more even. Eventually Chick became short stacked and went out in 3rd place. Daffy recovered from his dwindling stack to beat True heads up to finish first. True earned 7 points and finished 2nd.
It was a big night for Daffy who perhaps earned some vindication after Pads and My Choice imitated his distinguished voice all evening and Daffy perhaps made a statement, refuting the claim made by this author after Game 2 that My Choice had played the best poker so far. The rivalries can only heat up as we go into Game 4!

The most amazing hand, though, took place in the cash games after the tournament. Playing dealer's choice 10 cent ante, no limit cash games, Pads called for 5-card draw, deuces wild. Chick folded but everybody else stayed in with some small betting. Daffy, in first position, asked for one card and drew a wild to give him 10-J-Q-K-2 for an ace-high straight. .com replaced cards next and wound up with two natural pair. Zeus asked for two cards and in final position, Pads replaced all five cards and drew Q-8-Q-8-2 for a full house. Not bothering to hide his excitement, Pads giddily waited to bet. Watching the way he was acting, Daffy and .com wisely checked their otherwise strong hands. Zeus surprisingly bet $5. Pads quickly raised all-in, Daffy and .com folded, and Zeus called immediately. Pads turned his full house. Zeus dramatically paused and showed his 4-4-2-2 for four of a kind! .com marveled at the fact that his two pair was the worst hand on the table. Pads took a pounding (ouch).
Despite the teasing of new people coming to the game, there were still the same 10 people in attendance at the Daffy residence. However, the tournament started with two tables due to this uncertainty (and the fact that the Daffy living room was too crowded for one table).

New Things That Are Dope
Since I just mentioned WALL-E as being dope, here are some things that are new and dope as well that I've been enjoying recently...
Miranda Lambert, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: I wanted to hear some good country music and came across this album. If you either enjoy or are curious about country music this is a modern, fun country album.
Radiohead, In Rainbows: This was originally available through Radiohead's somewhat gimmicky "pay what you want" download thing, but now it is available on CD. It is a fantastic sounding album, if you're into the electronic-yet-musical Radiohead sound. One song, "Nude", especially stands out for me.
(Also, Gnarls Barkley briefly covered a Radiohead song in concert. It's only worth mentioning because I am into both of them. Click here to watch.
Nintendo Wii: My wife and I broke down and bought a Wii last week, after playing other places and enjoying it immensely. Yes, we're 31 and don't have kids yet. However, it is truly for all ages. It's neat how the feel (so far, at least) seems intuitive and how people who are not experienced video gamers can compete on the Wii. So far we are very impressed with the ingenuity and design of it. We have the Sports package that comes with the system, and Guitar Hero III. I now understand why South Park poked fun at the Guitar Hero craze. A local South Jersey bar has Guitar Hero nights. This is not uncommon apparently.
Anyway, Wii is dope so far.

WALL-E!
My wife and I saw WALL-E this weekend in the theaters. Animated films keeping raising the bar. From Toy Story to Shrek to Finding Nemo, they just keep getting more mindblowing. Despite it being a kids movie... when we first walked into the theater, there were hardly any kids there (and this was not that late - 7 pm show). I thought we were in the wrong theater. In any case, it was a movie that I'd recommend that, if these kinds of movies are your thing, you see in the theater. The visuals are a-mazing.
If one was nitpicky, one could argue that it was manipulative in how cute it was (like E.T.) and the social commentary might be construed as a bit over the top. However, if you can suspend that disbelief and if you are not a cynical bastard, it is an adorable movie - again, if this is your kind of thing.
A robotic looking E.T.... just as cute as E.T., no?

July Poker League - Game #2
Recap of Game 2 (Thursday, July 3)
The same ten people from Game 1 were in attendance for Game 2, which was held at My Choice's condo in Hackensack. .com hit a little traffic but once he arrived, the game started smoothly. The initial debate was whether to have all ten people fit into one table and be cramped and hot, or split into two tables of 5. All ten started at the same table and play was underway.
Donkey got off to another rocky start. He lost a large number of chips to Daffy's three aces, and then was slowplayed by My Choice when My Choice had the nut flush and coerced Donkey to go all in. Donkey had another 10th place finish.
Daffy then almost became the first person to win the 7-2 prop bet, where anybody who wins a hand and has 7-2 as their hold cards immediately gets paid $1 from everybody who is in the game. However, he did not push hard enough but he did get accolades from the table for trying.
Play slowed for a while, and at the first break, Daffy was the chip leader. He then came back to the table wearing an Ipod with a serious look on his face. The first two songs he listened to were "Shoot, Pass, Slam" by S. O'Neal, and "I Kissed a Girl" by Katie Perry to give him extra inspiration.
A big hand occurred between Teen Wolf and My Choice. Teen Wolf held 10-8 while My Choice held J-K. The flop came J-8-J and both players checked. The turn came 9. Shortstacked, Teen Wolf went all-in and was called. Almost a 6-1 underdog, Teen Wolf got the 7 on the river for the lucky straight to stay alive and damage My Choice.
True, last game's winner, then went out when he went all-in with pocket kings. Daffy called him and got runner-runner to make a flush. Daffy received 2 bonus points for knocking out the point leader and True finished in 9th.
Chick then dealt another serious blow to My Choice. My Choice had K-K while Chick had A-3. My Choice went all in, but the board came 9-6-5-4-2 to give Chick an unlikely straight. Once again a serious favorite in a hand only to take a tough beat, My Choice was dealt another slap in the face by the poker gods and finished in 8th place.
(Side note: My Choice has played the best poker of any of us for both of the first two games. After the game, he noted, "I always tell you guys that I do everything right and only lose due to bad luck. Everybody just laughs when I say that. I'm glad you're blogging about these games, because now there's a record of this." So far, after two games, his claim is definitely accurate.)
The blinds started to climb and play started moving more quickly. Chick then got hot, taking out .com in 7th place and Lady Luck in 6th place.
Daffy, the one time chip leader, started to get short stacked and made a strange decision of not saving 15 chips and not going all-in to a 150 chip pot. It turns out his 9-3 in the small blind would've lost to the 9-2 of the big blind - a wise fold. However, now short stacked, Daffy eventually went out in 5th place earning another point. The game was now down to four people - Zeus, Teen Wolf, and the two women of the game, Karma and Chick.
Zeus had quietly regained his poker form throughout the night, but eventually a big hand occurred where Teen Wolf took out his father Zeus catching a river flush. Zeus finished in 4th place, regaining much respectability.
As it often happens, leads swung quickly once there were three players left. Chick, who had been hot earlier, eventually cooled off and went out in third place.
Teen Wolf and Karma then went heads up. Much trash talking ensued. The crowd was pulling for Karma to win, but Teen Wolf eventually prevailed to finish in first place. Next Monday promises to be even that much more exciting! With a couple of players due to join the fray potentially on Monday, we could see our first two-table action of the season. Play will move back to the Daffy residence on Monday. Mrs. Daffy is out of town with Daffy's three kids...

TJC Basketball
"You've come a long way, baby."
The Teaneck Jewish Center's Adult Men's Basketball league has certainly come a long way since... well, since my day.
When I was 18 and still around my hometown of Teaneck, I played in the 5-team men's basketball league at the Jewish Center. There were a handful of other younger guys and some older guys. The league was such where each team only had a couple of pretty good players. I even won a MVP trophy of the league one year - this illustrates the quality of the league. I also played pick-up ball down there often.
Now, at age 31, I wouldn't come close to sniffing the ass of an MVP trophy these days. The league has grown in stature considerably. Last night I watched my brother play on a team that includes two former Teaneck High School basketball players, and two guys who are as good as those former basketball players. They played against a team that included a similar level of players, including two former THS players as well and a couple of guys who, again, are as good as them. (Now, granted, many of these guys aren't Jewish. One regular in the league is named Christian Hernandez - as Adam Sandler sang, "Not a Jew.")
Anyway, the good guys remained undefeated and won in overtime. What inspired me to write this post is that the league actually keeps stats, and has a website! (Not a great site, but one nonetheless.) You can see it here.

July Poker League - Game #1
I'm working in North Jersey for the month of July. Daffy, who looks good with a razor thin beard and who recently started blogging again, organized a July Poker League. We will be playing bi-weekly games for the month of July, and after 5 weeks somebody will accumulate the most points and win a side pool.
I will attempt to recap each game rather quickly, the day after it occurs. Players will be referred to by nickname only.
Recap of Game 1 (Monday, June 30):
Ten people were in attendance at the Daffy residence for Game 1. Play started slow with Donkey throwing chips about rather recklessly and eventually going out in 10th place. Donkey lost a big pot to Lady Luck through a rather bad beat, who certainly had Lady Luck on his side this evening.
Zeus went out unceremoniously and surprisingly in 9th place, and noted, "Well, I had to shake the rust off." Before Zeus left early, he surreptitiously predicted that Teen Wolf, who had built an early chip lead, would finish first, with .com finishing 2nd and My Choice finishing third. He got two out of three right.
Soon after, Daffy, Chick, and Karma went out in 8th, 7th and 6th places, a large amount of their chips going to True.
Teen Wolf, who had built the early lead and then stalled somewhat, went out in 5th, losing a large amount of chips to his brother My Choice.
Lady Luck then was shortstacked but somehow watched his chip stack fluctuate through an incredible run of winning "all-in" plays to stay in the game. The crowd estimated that he survived about 8 all-ins. However, his luck eventually ran out and he finished in 4th place.
My Choice, who had quietly played solid poker all night, lost a tough hand to .com then. My Choice slowplayed pocket kings, and let .com hit top pair on the flop. .com went all-in and My Choice happily showed his kings to .com's J-7. However, a 7 came on the turn and .com won the unlikely hand with his two pair. My Choice eventually went out in third place, victim of a tough beat.
True and .com battled heads up, blinds high and leads swaying wildly from player to player. Eventually True finally got the victory to finish 1st in what is sure to be a poker season filled with highs, lows, and exciting poker action.
Points (Total):
True - 10 (10)
.com - 7 (7)
My Choice - 5 (5)
Lady Luck - 3 (3)
Teen Wolf - 1 (1)

It's hard to know where to start commenting on this one... Thanks to Shilamida, who forwarded this to me. This was at a New Year's Party at Columbia in the dorm room of "Lucky"... we were not 21 yet.
