Here are a couple of ways you can give the gift of warmth and comfort this extremely cold week.
MLGW has a “Gift of Comfort” assistance program. If there’s someone you know who is not doing so well, you can give the gift of comfort by making a payment toward their utility bill. Get more information about this program here.
Or, you can donate to the Memphis Union Mission. I hear they are in need of coats and blankets right now, as homeless flock to the mission in this cold weather to try to get a warm night’s sleep.
In other news… congrats to our trivia team on a first-place win last night. We’re now up to $250 in beer money to spend on our next big party.
I had a good night before trivia too… I decided to play an hour of $1/$2 fixed limit hold’em on PokerStars before making the trek to the Saucer. I sat down with $40 just after 5:00 and had turned it into $85 by 6:00. I’m finding that I like fixed-limit hold’em better than no-limit for cash ring games (still prefer no-limit for tournaments though). You can play at a higher level and accumulate frequent player points much faster. Also, fixed-limit forces you to hone your intution and develop a fine sense of whether you have best hand. You can’t rely solely on aggression to be a winning player.
I’ll probably do the same thing tonight, an hour of poker then the Saucer. It’s glass night, Carlsberg I believe.
