Another weekend in the books and I’m dragging today. In the old days the weekend meant that at least one of those days would be spent stretched out on the sofa taking in a sporting event or three. Not anymore…the kiddos are growing up and have more activities to attend plus our oldest, TeenMook, can now babysit which lets us get out of the house.

We made last minute plans for a late movie on Friday night, but somehow I found myself signing up for Kat’s Friday Night Donkament ($1 rebuy tourney). I had a couple hours to spare before we had to leave for the movie and figured I would be out soon enough. I love rebuy tournaments and chipped up early to around 10,000 in chips. But my chip allergy would act up again and Hoy trapped me for half my stack when he smooth called my PF raise with KK and pushed on a T-6-6 flop. I had QQ and would have folded if the board was something like T-6-8, but I couldn’t see him with a set here and obviously didn’t think about an bigger overpair. Translation: I got pwned and I’m a donk.

Later on I renewed my donkey card for another year when I limped in the SB with T6o after the action had folded to me knowing that Hoy in the BB would raise me at least 70% of the time. My plan was to limp re-raise all in and that’s exactly what happened. Unfortunately he smelled a rat and called with A8 and I was typing my typical “gg and gl” exiting mantra when I rivered a straight.

This put me back to 10,000 in chips but time had flown by and I had to hit the showers and get all pretty for the movie. TeenMook took over for me and finished on the final table in 10th place. I asked her what happened and she said “Some donkey called my all in with KJ or KQ when I had Big Slick and hit. F&%*ing ghey bloggers.” Ok, she really didn’t say that, but she had a good time playing as did I.

We ended up seeing the 10:40pm showing of Wild Hogs at Alamo Drafthouse. I love watching movies here because you can order food, beer, wine, etc. while you watch the flick. The movie wasn’t bad and had a few laughs.

Saturday we went to a homegame/birthday party and as I walked up to the house it started to sleet. Crazy weather ! Just a few days before it was in the 80′s. I ended up finishing 4th which got me my buy-in back. I made a little more at the cash game afterwards and had one too many shots. This meant Mrs. Mookie had to drive my sorry ass home (since we took two cars).

Yesterday we spent the day at my parents house and had an egg hunt for the kiddos. Yesterday was also the 2nd birthday for our youngest kiddo…she’s my little Monkey and she really got into unwrapping her presents. One of the first things I ever posted on this supposed poker blog was her birth, which means my blog is also 2 yrs. old. Time flies.

Last night we watched both the season premieres of Sopranos and Entourage. Sopranos was a bit slow but you can start to see what’s in store for the final 8 episodes. I’m late to the Entourage party but I really like this show. I need to go back and rent the earlier seasons since I’ve only seen last season and last night’s episode.

Tonight is Event #4 in the Battle of the Blogger Tournaments…Mondays at The Hoy. This is now on Full Tilt and starting tonight it’s a double-stack tourney…3,000 starting chips instead of the usual 1,500. The buy-in is $24+2 which means you can use a token as your buy-in. I’m hoping to make it although it will be a game time decision on whether I can play. Last week there were 47 players and the payouts were juicy.

MiamiDon is kicking ass making two of the three final tables in the first 3 events including a win at The Mookie. Luckily for the rest of us there are still plenty of tournaments left. Speaking of Don…the Big Game is this Sunday, April 15th. That gives you 6 days to earn a token ($69+6) and take a shot on cashing in even bigger. This tournament is one of the four BBT events so get to working on those tokens.

Pauly has the latest issue of Truckin’ out…

1. Flight of the Stripper by Paul McGuire
Just before the flight attendants closed the airplane doors, two extremely loud women with Fendi purses rushed in and sauntered down the aisles. One was a skinny black woman wearing oversized Chanel shades carrying a pink jacket. The buxom blonde wore a pink Juicy track suit and had the biggest and worst fake boob job I had seen since the days when I lived at the Redneck Riviera… More

2. Some Times by Sean Lovelace
My friend S____ is a huffer. Gasoline, Freon, silver spray paint, etc. If you were to believe what you read, what the medical professionals say, my friend will eventually suffer marked atrophy of the brain, and has about a three in five chance of living to age twenty-five… More

3. Earning Hazzard Pay by Matt Siller
I spent the night in a restless sleep, every noise sounding like the pop pop AK47 gunfire, loud then faint. My guess is that’s probably what it was. As long as there were no explosions, I’m okay with distant gunfire – that’s nothing new to this area. Most of it is liquored or ‘gack’ed up troops firing into the air in the wee hours of the morning… More

4. Petite by Sigge S. Amdal
These girls, they were nice and all, but they couldn’t have been more than seventeen. They have this puppy quality to their skin, and their eyes reflect the streetlights. Looking seventeen, they were probably around fifteen, sixteen maybe, making it a no-no for me. Too much emotion… More

5. The Night 911 Failed to Ring by May B. Yesno
The logical individual to approach would be the Sheriff. This individual, however, is a first water Bigot and an out right Chauvinist who has been in a position of some little authority far too long… More

6. Sure, My Name is Dave by Paul D. Lane
Oh well, I thought to myself, I made it through the Gulf war; I can make it through this crap. The Marines go on these deployments for six months at a time. The mission was we go around on ship for six months and hope we don’t see much action… More

7. Flush by Mike Wenner
Somewhere in the middle of dinner, John’s queasy feeling subsided when he let out a huge fart. He felt it coming and tried to contain himself as best he could so not to embarrass himself since a loud fart at the wrong time isn’t always funny. But as you know, a loud fart in certain circumstances can be downright hysterical… More
