Going to Lexington, KY for the first and second round games of the NCAA basketball championship
I have gone to the first and second round games of the NCAA tournament almost every year since 1996. That year, I bought three tickets on a whim and invited my colleague, Norm, to go. He brought along his son, David, a high school senior, and the first trip and the tradition was on.
Sadly, David passed away in an automobile accident eight months later. And ... my basketball trip roomie and good buddy, Norm, passed away almost two years ago. Hard to believe that I am the last original member.
Fortunately, my good friends Mike and Gerry will be going (they joined the group in 1997), and we expect some great basketball. I might get a chance to play the Mookie this week, but will otherwise be on a rare poker vacation.
We'll be thinking of you, buddy

That's a donkey call on the river on his part indeed...
God, that's a horrible beat.
You should not be allowed to win if you manage to get all your money in as a <5% favorite. They should just end the hand because you're so bad at the game that you don't deserve to win.
Sorry to hear about your friends. That is a real life bad beat.
As for RiverStars, come on. What did you expect? It's the site of the magical river 2-outer. When I played there I would sometimes "know" I was behind and going to win on the river. It happens so often that if I had a way to check it I would say it is more than statically impossible.
Light we are living the same nightmare. I am left shaking my head more and more. I am cutting my playing way back, eliminating most leagues and freerolls. I just can't stand it anymore.
