God Bless America, "She's going to need it!" Time to take out the trash People!

Washington is so FULL OF SHIT!  Vote the BUMS out!

Not sure what our VP of the USA was on about yesterday on youtube, but let me just tell you all something, they can ALL go to hell in Washington.  No more stories, No more "Washington will make it all better," Not another Trillion of debt.  NO!  Let's clean this shit UP "NOW!"We all know as fact that, it’s both sides against the middle class and poor and we know who they have been working for all this time; themselves. 


It's beyond time for the people of this great country to fix these problems.  Some are awake, some are soon to wake, thanks to the OWS march in NYC and around the world.  I'm proud of these young kids, good for them!  Taking a stand.

These people btw, (The scum bums in Big Business and Government, etc) need to be held accountable. Let’s round them up and get them into a court room. They suck (We all know it) and are criminals (Except for maybe, I don’t know.. like 1%-5% of them in Washington D.C. and maybe 50% of the BB)  


Let’s wipe the slate clean, get ourselves some “great” Campaign Finance Reform Legislation and take our country back from the crooks, (Let's let any man or woman run for the high offices, not just the rich)  Back in the beginning, men like Washington and Adams did their time and then went back to private life on the farm or in their business.  Career politicians is not the way to go!  Term Limits!  Term Limits!  Say it with me.

Who the hell do they think they are?  Do they really think this sort of thing is going to end well?  They best get to thinking and fast!  People are really getting pissed off.  Do they think they are.... 

KINGS?  (Haven't we been down this road before?) Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!

While we are wiping slates, let's get our heads out of our asses and realize that no man is worth “some of these retarded salaries” that in time could put the Company down (Robbing the company’s funds for expected “future” hard times and putting good people out of work.   Many got a little (no scratch that, MUCH) too greedy.  I think a lot of these companies who failed and or lay people off, would have survived and saved some workers jobs.
Let's bring the Men and Women Home from war and get out of all the worlds business, start taking care of our own.  Let them be.  If they attack the USA, “Crush em,” crush them like a grape.

10 years is too long for a war folks, too many great Americans died, and the ones coming home soon won’t know where they are.  At this point, I doubt any of these wars on terror was ever/is for any GOOD, more like BIG CONTRACTS For Washington types and FAT CATS, you know, for POWER by Fists and guns and bombs, Real Estate and Oil rich Land Grabs, which, in time somewhere down the road, is only going to lead to more wealth for the super rich. And more pissed off poor people, only they will be from across the pond.

Out of sight out of mind, yeah how’s that working out for us? 

Let’s see, NAFTA was supposed to help!
We used to be the best at everything!
We used to give a shit about each other and
We used to all Speak English in the frigging streets (Do what you like in your house, yard) If you want to be here, and love this land. Assimilate – and do it faster!  (We were nice and many of you, we just can’t tell what you love)

Ship illegal’s home or get them legal and then button things UP and go back to following the LAWS.  So many come here the honest way, What the hell happened to the rules?  (Big Lebowski, John Goodman)

We are not done yet, more house cleaning coming your way. Let’s bring the Media to account for their lack of real news coverage, and I guess we may as well get those Insurance companies in check too.

Oh!  A pet peeve with me; Can we please (let some people die when they get old or if they end up medically untreatable at least sooner than later) I can't understand tube feedings and expensive air beds for long, long extended periods of time, especially at these insane rates per day.  Cmon!  Let put quality of Life; and Death with dignity back on the map.  (It’s better in heaven anyways right?) 

Enter your pet peeve here ___________________________________ Even if it’s me!  It’s still a great and free country.

When it's our time to die, it's our time to die.  Stop with the technology already “if it's going to make it so we can't afford insurance for our families.” (And let's face it everyone; nobody can afford quality insurance these days, at least not the lower and middle classes.)

Even the companies you work for today can’t afford all this; it kills/fries some small businesses books! Puts them out of business or they gamble with their HOMES and LIFE basically.  It’s gotten insane!!!! Totally out of hand!  "Or, in some cases, Companies do have the funds but they don't want to foot the bill, Investors and bottom line first! At all costs, SAVE the company money, make the Company MORE MONEY, (More Money, More Money!) as long as it’s hurting John Q. Public, and it’s the workers and consumers taking the kick in the ass and not us GREEDY BUMS?  Fine!)

Ahhh shit!  I wish I was president; I'd be cracking some jaws and taking names with any people not being held accountable from this point on.   You can only screw us 3, 5 or 8 times, the ninth – and WOW!  Everyone is going to get all whacko.

Pisses me off!  I think we should all OWS, and Occupy the Major Media, and Occupy major Insurance Companies, Occupy Hospitals, Occupy it all!!!!  Occupy the Lobbyist systems, the Banks (Housing bubble rip offs) let’s do this!

P.S. We need new oversight for the oversights and maybe a layer or two of more oversights ON TOP OF all that. (W e had good oversight committees in the past, let’s get them all Back), (Think Las Vegas, surveillance... "Everyone has to be watched in Big Business and Government, like a spoiled rotten child.."
Hospitals should be about caring for people NOT A BOTTOM LINE or Census (Number of patients filling beds), same goes for companies.  We need people caring for their neighbors, we need baseball and football players to piss off, Give the Stadiums Back to the cities, and tickets pay for Police and Fire and Streets Dept.   Get Gillette and Minute Maid out of Sports!

Oh.. And a message to all the STATES in the good old USA!  Let's remember why we have States, Let's work on things from the ground up and finally clean the massive, years in the making shit UP, because those in Washington and Big Business are shitting and pissing down on 99% of us.  (My father always said a line, don’t piss on my head and tell its raining boy)  Yeah, he said boy and he treated all people of all colors with respect.

Ahhh Son of Bitch, write me in for President – Big Daddy will give it a whirl I guess..

P.S. Piss on the Banks and Credit Card companies, my father always said credit card companies   and Lawyers (Who become judges “Jesus Christ!!” what a system) would ruin this country.  (Looks like he was right)  

People should judge, not the Lawyers, (“Judges should only be there to advise the people and they should not be the Judge! “Try Advisors” for a title)

Stop it with all the LAW SUITES, throw ½ of them out – and limit the filing of most.  If I fall on your side walk, I’m a goof who should have watched his steps.  Cmon!

What’s that you say? You got behind on a payment or two, we’ll sorry, and we are going to need to slap you with an extra 23-30% plus late fees. Oh.. And by the way... we knew most of you would fall into hard times and fall behind.”  (Fuck You!) 

What’s that? You say you need a shitty used car and your credit score sucks?   No problem – We CARE, here is a crazy rate JUST FOR YOUR SORRY, walking everywhere ASS!
 And lastly, Pay Day Loans – That’s just plain NASTY! (No, I never used such loans) but WTF?  Scum!

I’m voting for Ron Paul and I might run with the man..  (Need an old School V.P. Dr Paul?) You know he’s the right man, HOW you say? (Big Daddy will tell you) Because our good boys and girls, and “all those talking heads” in the media, avoid Ron Paul’s messages like the plague.  That should speak volumes!

ENOUGH!  Vote em all out, except a few..

Black this Out! Ya Greedy Bastards!

Love Big Daddy
Tom Dwyer

I’m one of the 99%

Life, hardknocks, health, mistakes, friends and moving on

Life is a crazy thing.  It is Pretty easy when your career, health and the economy are going well. Pain in the nuts and mind when things start going south.  Add and accident, a spider bite and some really poor life decisions "over many years" and you are facing and living a  F.U. B. A . R. life. *Please send me a comment if you don't understand F U B A R.

The worst part of all this for me was/is not knowing bottom. Years of trying to get back up to my previous best and even better only to find multiple new lows.  Finding out how many real friends you have on this rocket ride called life is also a nasty kick in the balls.  There is some good though once you get to looking for good.  You find out who the "great and real friends" are.

A lot of things I did in the past to earn money I can no longer do. Period.  I can also can not change the fact that moves I made in  the internet poker arena have ended the way they did.  Looking back, I did learn a lot about building web sites and SEO, and I did make a great friend, a bloke from across the pond named Chris Naish.  

While Chris and I lost with Real Deal Poker, we also gained.  We were able to set things up so that if Real Deal had made it happen. We were without a doubt, set in life as our sites would have gained more clicks than the actual companies (RealDeal) site itself..   We also know where our hearts were with the company.  100% for it to succeed. 

I have to accept this; look to the positive aspects, and finally embrace and conquer the change.  Master it.  In a nut shell, have to keep getting back on the horse, even if my horse is a complete asshole bronco ball buster.  Ha ha.    I have to start over.  Ugh, it hurts saying that last sentence.

The last couple of months have been hell for me and my family and it's time to get back to the top.  (the reason for the lack of posts)  Slow and easy forward I go. No looking back.  I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm sorry to all who loved me when I was lost and screwing up bad.

I'll say again to my wife and child.  I'm so sorry.  Thanks for not giving up on me.  I'll also say thanks to Chris for throwing me a line of hope.

Here is to better days!  I'm all in.

God Bless our troops and of course everyone involved in 9/11 Washinton D.C. , Pennsylvania and New York..  

Never give up.



P.S. The future of my fundraiser for US veterans is unknown.  While I'm still a good 40 lbs lighter than the start.  I have faltered in the last few weeks.  I'm thinking about all of it, my situation and wondering if I need to donate to myself at the moment, suspend it all for now and continue it when times are better.  Truth is, I'm not sure what I'm doing on all this, I don't want to bring shame to something I care a lot about (Veterans) or myself but I may have bit off more than I could chew givin the kind of year I'm having.  Please know that I still do for my Vets and still will, I just ran a BBQ at the VA hospital about 4 weeks ago.  Working one day is one thing I hope I can always do.

Final Table blues at Pocono Downs Mohegan Sun Poker.

Mohegan Sun Poker final table blues at Pocono Downs.

Captains Log, Tuesday March 1, 2011.  Mohegan Sun Casino at Pocono Downs.


Aliens, it has to be aliens or some of that Voo Doo magic that has me going deep but not cashing.  I had a glimmer of hope in last nights game however when I was in a situation being short stacked, in the BB with A3 suited.  Mid position player, who is  all about quality raises, calls, one more linps and then another caller has me thinking super pot odds in the Mohegan Sun Pocono Downs poker room.  A chance to get 4 times my money short stacked.  I got to call so I do.



Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs has not been all that kind to me in these situations so I was pleasantly supprised when I hit a straight, A2345.  The initial raiser hit a set of 8's, one had QQ and the other AK.  My A3 made it happen.  I was back in the game but the blinds where high.  Hey I'll take it.

Sadly, after all this excitement - my luck ran dry and I was card dead.  I was able to steal some blinds a few times with super tight players in the small and big blinds ahead of me.  This is really the only thing that got me to the final table.  I came to the final table about second to last in chips and the boys with the big stacks were doing what boys with big stacks do.  Punishing us small stacks.  (The Bastards)  lol, hell, I'd do the same.

My final table blues continued and I was out 8th.  Pays started at 5.

That was last night, today's a whole new deal.  In about an hour I'll drive the thirty minutes to the Pocono Downs poker room and start it all over again.  Each game, I'll learn more.  Each game, I'll learn the regular players play "more and more" and in time I'll be sitting with Ivey and the Grinder.

I got to shake these final table blues.

Losing all the flips, dry spells in poker

I wonder if the big names of poker (big money players) even care about dry spells in poker tournaments?

I'm really trying to improve my game by reading books, visiting web sites for poker strategy, talking to winning players and playing online small ball, just to get the feel for these various "new ways" of playing. I'm getting the hands in with the best, being drawn out, playing flips and losing. When you're the bug and the windshield is your opponents, well...  Brace yourself.  You're gonna die!



Lately, I'm a 400 pound splattered bug. (Sometimes in poker, players are always the bug, games where no matter what you do, we can't win a wooden knickle and we know we're headed to that window)  In other words, Poker is the Devil.

All these bad luck poker flips happened here, I dunno maybe they built this casino on an ancient Indian burial ground? http://www.mohegansunpokeratpoconodowns.com

Coin Flip Hands -

The coin flips in poker is where I'm losing bigtime, heads up hands with me holding AK/button, being called, and pushed on the flop/or pushed pre-flop by a small stack BB with 55.  The coin flips cost me huge this past month.  Pretty sure I can't do anything about these situations.

I'm due for a streak of flips that are going to go my way. Right?

See how it works on you?  I know I'm due, but I feel like it's always going to be this way.. (Oh, the pain!) When you're short on cash and you like paying your bills, it get's old.  I'd go bonkers if I had a 10K + bankroll for poker tournaments.  Millions.. Forgettabouuuttt it.. 

Don't even get me started on pocket A's and K's this past month.  They were magnets for small "sets." Little pairs , 3's, 4's and 5's all hit huge and played me like a fiddle.  Players dug in deep and went runner runner on my to the river straight. 

Well, I'm not going to go on and on about this, the cards will turn. Sure they will.  I'm just putting it out there to share my pain a little and to explain to newer players that "It happens" - Shit happens.  I'm putting this out here, placing it in a box and throwing it overboard. 

I'm playing poker a long time, latley I'm being forced into a limited income (bad back after a big fall) has my pockets short from time to time. Again, I'll stick with paying my bills thanks very much. (seems like the right thing to do)  Point is, we all hit these dry spells in poker.  Some say to play right through them, that's fine for the Richy rich folks.  Not for us PO folks.

Hope you're winning your flips guys..  If not, give it time; this too shall pass.

If it doesn't soon change?  Does anyone know of any Voo Doo witches that can take this spell of me?  Maybe a priest can preform an exorcist?  I dunno, something.

There should be a place for poker players..... To lose a hex

There should totally be a place where poker players could go to get a re-boot when things go rough at the tables.  Man.. Last few sessions, live, in both tourneys and cash NL games have been a kick in my junk.  I have KK,  they have AA.  I have KQ suites on button, they have AA in BB.

I have AA, they hit three of a kind.  Of course!  Why not.

I'm in need of some cleansing of some kind. My poker karma is way out of whack.  If you know of such a place or if you have a friend with experience in crystals or some Voo Doo magic.  Please have them contact me here.

They say the dark clouds will pass, not soon enough for this rounder.  Damn I'm getting some cold cards - Some say to play right through it but it's rough for me to do so, it's as if I'm in some murky cold decking swamp.

I need to take a few days off.  Sorry guys, it's that ugly.

I'm playing some casino games.. The hell with it!  Maybe I'll win a jackpot.
