One day a year the population of Florida, Ohio nearly doubles. I'll take responsibilty for that. My Poker Tournament was this past weekend. It almost started off as a disaster. I overslept. I didnt get up unitl 9:30 or so. I needed to be in Florida by 11:00. I had a lot to do but I managed to get it done.

I arrived at the fire hall about 11:00 and people began trickling in soon after. Before I knew it, you could barely move. I wish I had gotten a pic of all the cars outside...but I didnt.

My Tournament was a complete success. Almost everyone showed up! It was quite the sight. I recieved lots of complements from everyone. I think overall that it was a hit. I felt that it went a lot better than last year. I think a number of things led to that. Not playing myself number one, then I think the blind structure based on times was a much better idea. I also had played in a number of other tournaments where I borrowed som of my rules.

None of this would be possible without you guys though, so thank you!

It was good to see people again. I was especially glad to see some former players. In fact They all did pretty well. Duece ended up getting second. He was second only to Aaron Gerken, the winner of Eberle's Second Annual Poker Tournament.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me set up...Ben, Nick, Kirby....Thank you!. Thank my mom for being such a good cook. My Dad for helping me run things and he took care of the parking. I'd also like to thank eveyone who stuck around and helped clean up. That was awesome guys! Thanks again!

My regular Poker Game was well represented at the final table. 2 people placed in the money. 3 played in case you were wondering.

Well I'll do it all again sometime next year. Until then, may your pots be monsters!

EB's Ramblings

It has been a while since I have rambled. Lets what I've missed.

I went to the state football clinic in columbus. Loads of info from all the coaches there. All of our staff made it down there, it was fun. We spent a while with Doo Doo, learning SC Defense. Very cool.

I've completed my EMT class. Waiting on results.

Went to T town a couple of weeks ago. Went to the Dirty Bird and to a place called Muds. Fun Time. We have started the monthly bar extravaganza. All of us will take turns driving and picking new places to go. Should be fun. I think I have May. I think we will go to Cincy or to Cleveland.

My poker Tourney is coming up. Its this weekend.

Thats it for now, try to keep up.
