I am sure that I have been misjudged one way or another many times -- sometimes due to a deliberate attempt on my part.

You h...Thank you so much for commenting, Veronica! You have made my day.<br /><br />What's funny about you "talking too much" was that, for the first hour, I would have thought you were mute if not for you trying (unsuccesfully) to get a drink. But you made up for lost time, much to my delight.<br /><br />Thanks for correcting me on the J/10 hand, I'm glad to have the details right, All I could truly recall was the awesome outcome. <br /><br />And yes, like so much else I remembered, I did indeed recall you revealing your true age at the table. But a <b><i>gentlemen</i></b> would never reveal a lady's age, and I am nothing if not a gentlemen. Besides, if they had carded you, I would not have been surprised, so I stand by my original comment.<br /><br />You really are an excellent poker player, winning that Aria tournament back-to-back speaks for itself. I won't be anywhere near St. Louis, but chances are I'll be in Vegas next time your there (or at least, the time after), and I will definitely look you up! That's a +EV bet!<br /><br />Good luck in the satellites. It would be great if you could get into the main event!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-68573420306438457702012-04-06T08:32:03.061-07:002012-04-06T08:32:03.061-07:00So a couple things I learned from reading this pos...So a couple things I learned from reading this post...first of all "Veronica" talks way too much! lol second, I am almost positive she thought her seat was seat 1 until she looked down to realize there was a 0 after the 1...jeez I don't even remember that! you have a vivid recollection haha. That young 20 something blonde girl wishes she could stay that young but alas turns 30 this year, so I heard;) <br /><br />Yes, that J/10 call was a very tough call, but like you, I bet she understands her table image and what others may think of her at the table, and like you had a very instinctive feeling that man in seat 5...hmm maybe 4, thought he would for sure get that oh so sweet and innocent looking blonde girl to fold:) <br /><br />(side note* I was big blind in this hand, there was a preflop min raise, so I just flat called, 3 people were in the hand, I was first to act, everyone checked the 3 diamond flop, I bet out on the turn, seat 4/5 whatever, called, 3rd guy folded, I bet out on river, he shoves. There was around 9k in the pot at that point, I had 6k give or take behind me)<br /><br />Great post Rob, I am blushing and appreciate it. I don't know if I consider myself a great player, but I love this game and I love competing. Ill be in St. Louis for the circuit this month if you travel at all, I'm just going to play one or two events and see if I can't satellite into the main, if you are around, look me up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-9299904818864723272012-04-06T08:15:38.765-07:002012-04-06T08:15:38.765-07:00Josie, I agree with you, Veronica is too young for...Josie, I agree with you, Veronica is too young for me. <b><i>And I never stated anything to the contrary.</i></b> In addition to her age, she appears to be be very happy with the gentlemen who got her to move away from Vegas; she made it sound very serious to me! I wish them well.<br /><br />However, based on your formula (which I frankly think is actually a little too generous for us old guys), it would be appear that <b><i>you</i></b>, dear Ms. Josie, are right in my wheelhouse. Ah ha! I think I'm on to something. Your comment clearly indicates that you are worried abut competition from Veronica!<br /><br />No worries, Josie. I'm all yours!

Well, Rob would pretty much want to do her too..<br /><br />Now, and more importantly, with respect to an appropriate girl's age for Rob to be interested in, this timeless credo would apply:<br /><br />"If they can bl&&d, they can br&&d"<br /><br />Also, from the bumper sticker:<br /><br />"dirty old men need love too"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-91256091593406303282012-04-06T00:12:31.842-07:002012-04-06T00:12:31.842-07:00Ah the mighty jack/ten.

I will let you in on a little secret of how to determine what age is acceptable for you. It's an easy formula. Take your age, divide it by 2 and then add 7 years. That is the youngest age acceptable for you.<br /><br />For example, let's say you're 58 yrs old. 58 divided by 2 is 29, plus 7 = 36. The youngest woman you should be interested in is 36 yrs old, not in her 20s, you dirty old man. Assuming you're 58 of course. :)Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.com
