OK, I have to confess that my new obsession is poker. Now, don’t worry, I’m not actually playing poker. Rather, I’ve become addicted to the World Poker Tour (WPT) on the Travel Channel. The game is Texas Hold ‘Em and every week a new finalist is selected for the million dollar WPT showdown.<\/p>\n
It’s riveting. Even Kevin has been sucked in. They idea is they go to different gambling spots around the country and hold massive poker tournaments. For a mere $3,000 anyone can enter and play in the elimination rounds. This draws both professional and beginner players alike. After so many hours\/days, you have the final eight who play for a spot at the final table. This is the game the Travel Channel shows.<\/p>\n
What’s so cool is that they have special hidden cameras set in the table so when the players look at their cards, you get to see them to. This means, you know who’s bluffing, who has the better hand, and who’s about to get slammed. Utterly mesmerizing. Even neater is watching the amateur players beat out the professionals. Gives me hope really. Of couse, none of them are women. I wonder why that is?<\/p>\n
Anyhow, I’m restraining myself and regulating my poker craziness to obsessed fan rather than stupid-beginner-person-who-loses-all-her-money-at-an-Indian-casino but it’s hard it tell you.<\/p>\n
Oh yes, Mini-Me is doing great and I now have two strech marks to prove her growth. grrr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
