Guys,
Going to do my usual, once a month, 3 casino romp tomorrow.
Although Greektown is where I mostly play, I like to spread my money
around to help Detroit's economy. I'll play a hundred on Pick-a-pair
at MC, and a hundred at Pick'Em ( or Bonus Poker if the prog is high
enough) at MGM. Then I'll finish the day at good old GT.
I either won or finished in the money (small buy-in tournaments)
several times in the last month online. Getting a little bored. Each
tournament takes about five to six hours or so to finish. Life's too
short to spend it sitting in front of a screen, or in a chair at a
casino. At least playing video poker, you can get up and move around
when you want to.
I haven't been posting much recently, because I've been working
most of each day on my new book. Somehow, it's evolved into, The
world's wackiest, craziest, funniest (hopefully) "DICTIONARY OF
POKER." A small sample:
PS: Video Keno has a much better percentage.

_____________________________________
Keno Player: 1. Someone who thinks poker is a game of chance.
VP PAPPY ON KENO
1. The three things I detest most in the world are: nuclear war,
the bubonic plague, and Keno.
2. Not even Miss Cleo could win at Keno.
3. Keno was created for people who can't stand the stress of
winning.
4. Keno is proof that the casinos don't want us to win.
5. Every time I begin to think that people are playing smarter in
casinos, I notice how many are playing Keno and have to think again.
6. With it's 25% house edge, Keno is just plain meano.
7. My idea of hell is to be forced to play Keno for eternity.
8. A Keno player and his money are soon parted.
9. Playing Keno is like admitting you still read comic books.
10. If God had meant for us to play Keno, he never would not have
allowed us to grow up.
Ketchup: 1. If you try to do it most of the time, you won't cut the
mustard. 2. That tomato-based crap kids use to drown the gourmet dish
that mom spent hours cooking and years perfecting to get the
seasoning just right. 3. Beware of Dragons, for we are crunchy and
taste good with ketchup.
Kicker: 1. The highest unpaired card in your hand along with a pair,
two pair or trips. 2. Old milkmaids never die, they just kick the
bucket.
A snail walks into a bar and tries to order a drink. The bartender
says,"We don't serve snails here.!" and kicks him out. One year later
the same snail goes back into the bar and says,"What did you do that
for?"
Kill: 1. A game where if the bets are doubled if someone wins two
hands in a row. 2. I'd kill to get a Nobel Peace Prize. 3. Kill them
all! Let God sort them out. 4. Make the world a better place...kill
yourself. 5. Support mental health or I'll kill you.
Killer Bees: 1. Bad Beats, Belly Busters, and your opponent's Buried
Bullets. 2. I had both of my arms tattooed in roses, now I'm
constantly bothered by bees.
Kitty: 1. Money cut from pots. 2. I fed my cat some lemons, now I
have a sour puss. 3. I love cats too, they taste just like chicken.
Let's exchange recipes. 4. Did you ever notice that when you hit a
cat on the head with a ball-peen hammer, it always blinks? 5. Missing
your cat? Try looking under my tires. 6. A cat's courage is only as
strong as a dog's chain.
King: 1. The second highest card in the deck. 2. A bachelor lives
life like a King, and dies a beggar. 3. Old Kings never die, they
just get throne away.
PS: I'm also working on acquiring Midwest Casino Guide. I've been
writing on this site for years now, so this would be a good fit for
me and old VP Pappy.

PS:PS: Ran into Preston last week at GT. He was playing a multi-line
video poker machine. Burrrrrrrr! Scary!
