Heading To Florida

Not a very exciting week here in Botswana. I am heading back to the United States this weekend for a Trip to Florida. A buddy of mine, Gary is picking up a car in Florida and bringing it back to New Jersey. I am meeting him in Philadelphia and then we are both flying to Florida and driving back.

I did find out the United States Stimulus package does have grants for Green Energy to be used in Botswana. Our village has applied for those grants. They said it could take a month or two to hear back.

I played some poker this week 8.82 hours and won $320.65 which works out to $36.37 dollars an hour. I had a few nice winning hands which I display below. I did not lose any big hand, just a bunch of middle of the road hands. I am happy with my play this month bringing my total so far to just under $1,000.00. I hope you enjoy the hands.

Got real lucky with this hand

DUG: raises $35 to $45 My guess is one of both of them has a King. So I will over bet to make it look like I have K also which might get me a caller.
daniela249: raises $192 to $237 and is all-in This tells me he has a Q. So is my kicker better. He could have QK but would he go all in with a full house. He could have AQ but if he had that he should have raised preflop. He could have QJ. So those three combination's would beat me. And Q2 – Q9 I am ahead. So I have to call since there are more hands I am ahead of then there are that I am behind.
