About to head to AC
BJ tournament this evening

Stopping off to pick up my dad and my nephew is here at my parent's house. He is screaming about wanting Mac and cheese even though he said he wanted pizza (of course, once the pizza arrived he decided he didn't want it anymore). My mom put the water on to boil for the Mac and cheese and my nephew began screaming that he wanted the milk from the counter - so, of course, every wish is granted to him so they gave him the milk container---then he started screaming he wanted to eat already---he was informed the water had to boil--he didn't like that and stomped his feet that he wanted it NOW

I interjected, stating that giving into his every desire will only spoil him
I was then SCREAMED at to mind my own business, that my nephew is not my concern and that I am becoming a "curmudgeon"

Ughhhhhh

Good luck AoS. Hopefully you don't dig yourself a hole you must dig out of. Straight profit right off the bat this weekend

OMG my dad just tried to hit another car on purpose driving my Hummer Because the guy went through a stop sign in a parking lot
I exclaimed "What are you doing?" -- he then replied "it's all under control"

I have now taken over the driving duties

+1. I do see his point though. No matter what car the other person is driving, the Hummer would probably win

Is it possible the youngster is a bit autistic and can't help his behavior ? Just putting that out there, please don't SCREAM at me.....

I never pictured you in a Hummer,
you seem like a Lincoln guy. The
only people here who drive Hummers
are soccer moms..

$1 triple play can sure eat up a bankroll. I got hungry and asked the host to hook me up with a dinner and he gave me like $75. Ok so the story wasn't that long but it brought back a bad memory :(

Controversy at tournament of course:

The written rule says last hand there is no max -- pit boss announced that ALL HANDS have a max bet of 10k so we abided by MANAGEMENT's admonition - so everyone was doing splits and doubles the entire time because the pit boss stated ALL HANDS were capped at a 10k maximum bet - then the last hand the pit boss said you can bet any amount you have - this changed everything - I had 60k and went all in lost with 17 to dealer 18
--but, might have been a very different strategy along the way had the PB not changed the rules then changed them back

What's the buy-in on the 100K tourney Sat nite? Or is it invite only? Wondering if you can get in that. Or maybe, wondering if you want to.
