I haven't been blogging much lately because I have been so busy playing Texas Hold 'em poker in every format imaginable. I play online every Saturday at noon and Sunday at 3. Sunday nights I play in real life at a place called the Tavern in Framingham. Monday nights I play at the Lazy Dog in Marlboro. Tuesday nights I play at the Original Sports Pub and Pizza in Framingham. Wednesdays I either play there again or at Finnegan's in Hudson. Thursdays and Fridays I don't have poker unless there is a home game. Plus I play online through Facebook every chance I get, either Zynga Texas Hold 'em or Poker Palace.
The people I've met at cards are very very nice. I have made some good friends there. I am happy to have started back up with poker, after taking a two-year hiatus. I used to play at Tin Alley Grill in Framingham, from February 2007 through May 2007. I do not remember why I stopped but I think it is one of three things. Either someone pissed me off, or I didn't like not being able to smoke and play at the same time, or the weather warmed up and I found other things to do. I really think it is the middle one, though. I think I got my home game going specifically so I could smoke and play at the same time, like in the old days at Cam's. I really do like to smoke whenever I gamble, for me the two go hand in hand.
