Movie day

Well, I lied. I did not play much poker Saturday. Actually I played just one! I busted on the first hand of the 50k freeroll. Like a dummy I overplayed top two pair from the small blind when my flopped AJ two pair on a A J 2 rainbow board ran into the bbs turned wheel. He got me when I reraised him all in when his 3 fell. He had just called a small flop bet from me and I was ripe for the fall when his card came. Not such a gg me! So instead of playing all day I told Lisa I busted and we headed to the movies.

Watched the new Disney insta-classic Enchanted. A combo live action/animation flick. Gotta admit, I enjoyed it. After that we headed back and instead of playing I watched the Canuck-Penguin game. Terrific game that ended with a 6 man deep shootout. Linden scoring in the shootout was an absolute highlight. Love ol Trevor Linden man! He is and always will be Mr. Canuck for me.

Was going to play more poker after that but ended up watching No Country for Old Men instead via the internet. Terrific movie. At first I was a little put out by the ending but upon further review I see just how deep this movie went. If it does not win Best Picture then I hope that the winner is fucking fantastic. Same goes for Javier Bardem who should now be a star in Hollywood. He was absolutely spot on. Tommy Lee Jones was good too. Fuck, so was Josh Brolin and for that matter everyone else in the cast nailed it. This movie is going to age really well. Tremendous.

Oh, almost forgot. Dad played a satellite into a PCA qualifier for me today. Looks like about 253 starters will be vying for 2 packages tomorrow. I am hoping many of those will be no shows. Will be interesting to see how many end up playing. If it is under 150 I will be a statistical 75-1 shot for a package and about a 16-1 shot for the final table where there are some small cash prizes as well for the runners up. Ah well, I can dream right.
