Obsessed and Folding Quads

With whats currently going on with me I have been spending a lot of time around the house relaxing which according to everyone is what I need.

So with all this time and a free month of movies ( you get it when you buy a PVR) I have been checking out the various movie channels. Seems like we have 7 channels of movies to watch. I actually prefer going to one of our local theatres and seeing movies there but this is actually not a bad substitute. So I check out what's on last night and I actually couldn't find much I was interested in. So my son heads over to the local video store and brings home the newest release called Obsessed.

This is the one that stars Beyonce Knowles. The premise behind the movie is that Beyonce, her hubby (played by Idris Elba) and son have an ideal life. At her husbands work a new temp starts and immediately gets the hots for Beyonces husband. The temp is played by Ali Larter. Of course she is incredibly gorgeous but Idris never gives in to her flirtations and she becomes more Obsessed. Is this sounding like Fatal Attraction?? Yep that's what I thought. There is actually nothing new in this movie but I have to admit watching Beyonce and Ali made up for the script. I am sure the ladies loved watching Idris too. This is one that watching in video was probably worth the rental price but glad I didn't spend theatre prices to see.

I often wonder why doesn't anybody in Hollywood have new ideas these days. There are so many movies made that are blatant ripoffs of previous movies that are never as good as the original.

So I was playing online yesterday at Fulltilt and not for money. Just thought I would kill time playing a 6 person Sitngo. About the 4th hand in I get dealt pocket 3's. Always a difficult hand to play so I decided to just limp in with 2 others and see what the flop brings. Well the flop was A,3,3. Wow Quads. Not only Quads but with the Ace out there very likely this could be profitable (oh right I am not playing for money). Anyways I yell upstairs to my son who's playing a different Sitngo that I flopped quads. The player next to me who must have hit an Ace bet out and being distracted I hit the fold button. Yes I did. I watched my cards disappear. Am I glad I wasn't playing for money? Was that dumb or what?? Answer yes to both questions. Another reason to not play online for money because of things like that. Yes you could fold your cards by mistake too in a live game but not as likely. Hopefully will be back playing at my live games next week all being well.
