everywhere I look around. Every sight, and every sound. I just got back from my good friends Starkey and Tiff's wedding where we all had an awesome time, mostly consisting of eating, drinking and dancing(excess amounts of all). I'm really happy for both of them cause they're a great couple and I love em both.

I'll be spending some or all of Sunday here in Indiana before heading back to Vegas where I'll be greeted by Mr. Bond18 as he arrives tomorrow morning to stay for an indefinite amount of time. I am real excited for him to move in because unlike me he is a super active guy that has rigid schedules in his life and pursues his goals vigorously, where I'm much more unorganized and take things 1 day after the next. At the same time though, he's extremely personable and very laid back. Given the time we've spent together in the past I expect we'll get along extremely well as roommates. With that being said, the high stakes action continues to brew and as always I come prepared with some funny hands for my loyal readers.

If you think you are ahead in hand 1, ever think of jamming the turn for protection?

pureklas, it's certainly an option especially given how big the pot is, but if the majority of his range is 6 outters inducing a river bluff if i can guess well enough may prove to be better.

reid, what do you mean?
