still staying in Miami

 I've got a lot to do as far as cleaning this airbnb before i check out, and switching to a hotel for 4 nights, and then ive also got to sleep, but let me post this one hand before i forget most of the details. (by cleaning it i mean throwing out all the trash, etc). lucky for me its the same person who rented me a different airbnb she also has nearby and she did not get mad that i do all my eating in bed which always gets food stains on all the bedding. 

Probably because she is overcharging so much. this house is divided up between 5 units, including all the places in the back near the laundry room, and they are horribly small. some dont even have doors or windows except for one and im not even sure if thats legal in case of fire. and she is getting close to 3k a month on all of them. some more with a little more space. although a bunch of it airbnb keeps and some of it goes for tax. 

its a bomb pot and there are only 4 of us left and the game is about to break. i lost several buyins, most of them with AAxx one of the aces being suited preflop, or hands such as AJK6 double suited and missing. 

so im already in the game for the entire $1485 i had on me when i came over. $200 buyin, $240 buyin, $320 buyin and a $725 buyin, each buyin being progressively larger as i always do it. 

i won a hand off the last $725, and id had it about $800-950 give or take (ive no idea) before the start of the hand. Black guy in seat 1, i cant say whether he is any good, but all of them had money and didnt really care except for me. the 2 players i most worried about beating all of us had just left a few minutes before. anyway ive got 27KT with 2 diamonds and one board is 732 and the other board im not totally sure, but i had no pair no draw nothing on that board. something like 853. 

he bets $100, some people fold, i call. i think my 72 might be good, but im heavily on tilt and not the wisest call. turn comes 8533 and 7326 with a second diamond hitting the board. we both check and seat 1 bets $400, other player folds and i just keep thinking hes bluffing. 

i shoved my whole stack, on tilt quite a lot. and i was hoping he would fold the bluff but he called. river comes and i hit the diamond on the bottom for a flush, but nothing still on the other board. 

and i tell him, well if u got the ace high flush u win on both boards. i was fully expecting to chop the pot. he looks at his cards a few times turns them over and folds. he had something like 7249 with the same 2 pair as me, and also missed everything on the other board. so i actually won the other board with my king high. i dont even remember what the river was on that other board. man was i shocked to scoop the pot, game broke i went to the cage and cashed out $1925 of the $1485. 

----definition of rich---

it means many different things to different people, but the main thing money can buy u is not the stuff most people waste their money on (i have no where to put anything) but convenience is what rich people have. (not to worry about the cost). for example, most people needing a hotel check in the day of their stay, and wait til in the afternoon to check in. and when checking out, they make sure to leave by 11am or noon. 

if u have money u check in the night before so u can sleep in the morning without being disturbed and can avoid having to wait til checkin to sleep instead and maybe sleeping 8am til 4pm like u prefer to sleep, or u can check out the day before too, and into your new place for the next week or month instead of dealing with the hassle of waking up on time to do it the next morning and of course having it disturb your sleep schedule, and of course if u dont own a car and drive, u have nowhere to store your stuff between 11am and say 4pm to check into the airbnb. (unless of course u Uber all the way back to the old hotel if theyll hold it and pay the Uber multiple extra times). 

same way u can eat while u are out playing poker instead of waiting til u get home like i always do. im warming up food in the microwave to eat now as i type. u really have to be rich to afford the prices in most casinos. especially at all the places that dont give food comps. 

Or to eat the much better tasting mashed potatoes like Bob evans instead of cooking them on the stove out of the instant mashed potatoes box u mix with milk and water or butter, etc. and to not have to cut prepeeled apples and eat them in the $5.99 package. 

as u can see, from this first paragraph this blog was started writing over 2 weeks ago and then never got finished and posted. im getting lazy i guess because all the old readers, most of who were democrats who couldnt handle my opinions, got tired of reading the blog and all disappeared. most of them likely died because they took the vaccine. 

im basically not getting anywhere and still barely a little close to 35k, but not over that. i dont see how ill ever get back over 40k i really do need to get out of Florida. the weather here is nice however and without a friend with a car, moving anywhere at all when i cant fly is a real pain in the ass. the closest trip that wouldnt be too long would be the amtrak to Jacksonville up north. at least the rent is paid up til feb 22nd. that still gives me a months time to try and recover at least 6k
