A Chimp and a Chair

My name is CaptnPoppy. I did not name myself. My knowledge of the English language and typing is self taught and comes out of being taught sign language as a young primate. I am a chimp who is playing poker for my life. You see I am in this insane petting zoo north of the New Brunswick border in Canada somewhere and it is frigging cold here. I have started from nothing and will try to duplicate Chris Ferguson's bankroll management feat of zero to 10,000 dollars. If I can do it, I'll buy a boat. A sweet Monkey boat to escape from here and my insane roommate Mr. Wrinkles. CaptnPoppy plays on Ultimate Bet. Get Gear at http://www.cafepress.ca/CaptnPoppy

The Old Monkey Story - Two Monkeys and a Bomb



I notice in the last couple of days I have been placing higher in free-rolls and more in the top three in 10 player sngs. I thinking about what changes I have made. There are two that I can think of. Tightening up my pre-flop requirements and maybe and I say maybe  because I haven't changed it long enough to know, but maybe folding more monsters post flop when the flop, the player and my gut tells me to. I re-raised from twice the Big Blind to Five times the Big Blind with KK and got called by the first raiser. Flop shows an ace. The player is loose and a bit of a wackadoodle.  I really don't want to but I fold the KK up to show. He shows an Ace rag and not only do I not bust out but I now have the rockest image to steal with later. Which I did and placed first. There is an old myth in the monkey world ( called Two Monkeys and a Bomb ) about a tiny monkey named oh I don't know . Lets say Mr. Wrinkles. It was said he liked grapes with a passion that was superseded only by his desired to wear a frilly dress. Now Mr. Wrinkles was smart and sneaky, he always carried with him a little something something.  Every time he would steal from a big monkeys stash of grapes Mr. Wrinkles would carry a bomb which he called bomby. Who knows why. When Mr. Wrinkles was caught, the big monkey would always see just what a little fellar was stealing his grapes and run screaming towards Mr. Wrinkles in attack, at which time Mr Wrinkles would throw the bomb at him and continue to eat grapes. One day a God like chimp we will call CaptnPoppy was high in a tree figuring out with a crow how they could dupe a fox for twice the cheese he tricked from the crow when he saw Mr Wrinkle's game go down.  CaptnPoppy followed Mr. Wrinkles until Mr. Wrinkles had rob the huge number of chimp nests  near by with his bomb making skills. Then he ran straight after the crazy little monkey and his huge stash while folding a stick behind his back. Mr. Wrinkles tossed the bomb at Captnpoppy. who stopped, backed up, waited, revealed a huge stick, batted the bomb far away and hit Mr Wrnkles with the same stick until he left the huge stash of mashed and fermented fruit for CaptnPoppy.  It was also said the bomb landed near the fox who was blown into the sky only to land into a world of huge headed children and talking backpacks, where ironically he would have to chase a monkey in rubber boots eternally. The moral is fold now so you can do some major stick beating later. There is a lesson about the fox too but I forget what it is.
