20 Years of Whiskey and Laughs

Somewhere along the way, it was determined that our anniversary month is November. It was also determined that our first meeting was in 2003. I wasn't there, others were. A tradition began and for the most part, we've met every month for 20 years.

12 of us defended on British Tony's house. The whiskey of the night was a nice rye. Flavor was quite good with the spicy finish you'd expect from a rye. My personal preference might be to add a little water to break it up a little. To each their own.

For the record of it, here's the photos of the whiskey brought as tribute to the meeting. We had to pick one. Because it said rye on the label, it was chosen to enter the Hunger Games.

There came a time when it was suggested we take a selfie. Your mileage may vary. 

There was a need for more nostalgia nearing the end of the evening. One more picture was requested. Some had left. Bottles and cans were emptied. 

All in all, it was another blast of a night. Cheers to you all. 20 more for the fun of it?

Updates Are Active

I spent a little time getting the list of Whiskies We've Tried. I believe it is current. Was just thinking we could make more use of this space if we had ideas on what to do over here. Any thoughts?

I think it's been a long time since I posted here. My deepest apologies. I truly miss online poker. What have I been doing,...probably a quaestion from when I'n sober. Not that I actually spend a lot of time drinking, but tonight, I'll admit to being drunk. I'm enjoying a nice bottle of Glenfiddich 15 while spending some time online. I've cashed in my 4th consecutive online poker tournament and really wishing online poker was legal. I just called our @easycure for never linking to this blog, which, when looking back isn't that hard to blame. I haven't really posted here in years. Since I'm hacking @OhCaptain lately, I hope to post here more often. I've spent the better part of 3 months journalling, a sober version of myself should post here. This used to ne a fairly active forum. If you're still paying attention, let me know, it will motivate me to post more. I'm a poker player in exile and it sucks.

Hello, my name is OhCaptain...

It's been a very long time since I posted here. I'm not saying I'll post here more often but I feel like writing here tonight.

This pandemic is really a weird thing. I've been working from home since March 11, which is good. I really feel for those that are losing their jobs. This whole things sucks, but I've really tried to keep most politics off this blog.

If there was ever a time I'd like to have online poker back...it's now. I'm stuck at home. The card rooms are closed. Seriously...open online poker.

I've been playing a few games online. Free poker is still there. I've been playing that, what can I say, I'm still a junkie for check raising tourists.

My whiskey club has been meeting virtually. We created a Home Game on PokerStars and have been playing there. It sort of works. Most of the guys are convinced online poker is rigged. I'm not sure I believe that, but it seems to fall in my favor more than it doesn't.

Why am I posting? I don't know. I just finished playing a several hour poker tournament online, while Rounders played on the monitor next to me. I guess I'm just Jonesing for the old days.

"Why the fuck did you lay that down?" - said Tedd KGB.

What I really love about this movie is I really relate to Mikey McD. I've always admired his style of play. It's honest but smart. It's patient but when it's time, it crushes. There's a lot of joy sitting at the table with Teddy KGB and knowing his tells. Using those tells to play the man, not the cards.

I've spent portions of my life sitting at the table with Teddy. He should be feared. Gawd damn, you do the wrong thing and the find your body in the Hudson. Playing straight up...he's never going to hurt you because it would kill his business if everyone knew his game was crocked.

"This son of bitch. All night with the check check check." - patience. Letting your opponent fall on their own sword. That's one of the best parts of the game.

Enough blathering for one night. Time to crash. Please...let's find some more games. Two stacks of high society are itching for a good time.
