the old trifecta!

In limit play a 'trifecta' is when you check/raise a player on the flop, on the turn and on the river - and get action on all three streets. I don't think this is a PURE trifecta, since he 3 bet twice, but I don't care, I'm taking credit for it.

In other news: I'm still not a father

In other other news: I've learned that a particular avid reader of my blog was, in fact, born on a Wednesday the 13th. I'm not worried that my son will be born on Friday the 13th, as a matter of fact I hadn't even thought about it until this particular avid reader mentioned it after my last post. I then mentioned it to my father, who must have thought I was a bit worried about it.

In other other other news: for the second Wednesday in a row, we spent a significant portion of the evening without power. No giant hailstones today, but another rather nasty storm rolled through, and cut our power for a few hours. A few tornados touched down around Central Ohio, and Debbie saw something that appeared to be a funnel cloud as I came home.
