I like my beach here, thank you very much.So olive you might as well taste me.You can do that anyway.

I don't much like olives. :)I actually tanned a bit in Colombia...though I tend to freckle more than tan. I was still one of the whitest gringos there. My nickname among the locals was 'flaquito'.

Food was great. Pretty much ate everything put in front of me. I tried arepas, empanadas, sancocho, a full fresh mango, muneco de leche, and passion fruit juice for the first time. You seem to get some form of plantain with almost every meal.Not looking likely that I'll get to Vegas. Took my yearly shot at a WSOP ME sat on Sunday without success. If I can luck my way into a top 3 in the Bodog 100k in the next few weeks, I'd probably try to get out there for a bit. Also being the solo owner of two cats can put a bit of a crimp in long travel plans. (Had a very nice neighbor that helped watch them while I was in Colombia.)

97 95 96 96 97 97 the last six days in Iowa WTF. Storms were promised today and cooler air. No luck yet. I hate hot weather.

LOL 64 here today right now. Sitting at my kid's ballgame last night and there were storms to the west ... a sudden gust of cold wind took them temp from 95 to below 80 in 3 seconds. It was bizarre. Temps and rain fell all night and day so far. It's really nice (cloudy) now.

Fish is playing 33/13He lost a big pot when he c/c K33 with 54 (no flush draw), then after the turn checked through, he overbet bluffed the river with air and was called.Afterwards he shoved the BB after some limps, everyone folded, and he showed K6o.Then he probably open shoved 4 or 5 more times without getting called.I think my hand is strong enough against his range.

yeah, it's prob +evwhat kind of range do we think he has, 75%? 60% 90%???The only thing is BR consideration and if you've been down swonging it might be better to pass on the variance
