Chris Halverson’s Blog

Hope everybody had a good Christmas. Things went well here at Chez Halverson. Christmas eve is my family’s “present” night and it was nice if a bit overwhelming (just from people, nothing bad or anything). It was all good though and it was a good time.

Christmas day brought a slight miscommunication between us and my wife’s grandparents, which basically left us with nowhere to go during the day. This was nice though as it gave us some time to relax and such.

As a Professional Poker Player (TM) I decided to jump on IRC to lend some credibility to the channel. I joined a 100NL game at Party and proceeded to lose about $80. I had some decent chat with Alan and Mourn. I then jumped onto Second Life for a bit, attended a dance with a friend while doing a little web research, then decided that all the tourney talk in IRC was inticing (m? WTF?).

To Party for a SNG!

I join a $20 NLHE SNG and on the first hand almost double up. From that time forward I was at worst second place and went on to win the thing. This basically made me even for the night and I had a good time. Maybe I should look at those again. I had some nice success in those for a while and I do enjoy them.

Mrs. H’s birthday is this week therefore I need to get more gifts because I totally spaced this year. A nice dinner at one of our favorite restaurants (Capital Grille) is on tap for the end of the week. Hopefully I can find a gift or two by then

OK, I just heard about Daddy from Snaitrax hanging it up…Geez…First people going on hiatus, talk of maybe stopping, etc. C’mon people…Yes, blogs are gay; yes, poker sucks; but come on, suck it up.
