All in ... baby !!!

Walking around the poker room at the Venetian in my first visit to Vegas, I stopped to follow a $50 - $100  limit Hold em table. Big money. Then, I was advised of this other area for High rollers. Give me a break !! How much is high ... just more money? A lot more.

Now I am witness to this final table of this high stakes tournament. It has been a long and demanding tourney. But, here we are ... Yes, as I look around the table ... there are 5 players left .... I can see that all stacks are about even.
They saw the flop and the turn came and went, and everybody called a strong bet. No raises. The river card completed a mix board of color and rags. Right now you cannot discount anybody. Who may be ahead? Its really a tough guess. No clear tells right now.



First, in the small blind is Malvi .... I am cheering for her, that is all I can do .... I think she does not have the "nuts", but ... will she check or raise?, She looks around ... Next to her is this lady that I think everybody underestimated initially, but she is in the final table. She is classy, she mixes her play well, you can tell that she plays with high rollers. She is from DC.
Malvi knows that this road of commitment and long effort is about to be settled. It all depends on the next few moves .... Will she force the betting? How confident is she? Will she ..... OMG, Malvi is all in!!!
Time to shit or get off the pot ... There is no hesitation from the lady on the big blind ... You hear ... "I call" ... She pushes all her chips.

In position 3 you have this young kid. They call him Ross. Is that a first or last name? Aggressive and cool. He thinks he is good. Malvi knows he is ... really good. There is a pause ... "OK, I also call ... I am all In" This is very interesting.

All eyes move to the next player. He is older. Conservative on his clothing and demeanor, he has played steady solid poker. I heard somebody call him Mr. Darden ... He just looks like the kind of player that will make you pay dearly any mistake. He doesn't even look up ... he just moves all his chips in ... Wow!!

On the button is the last player to make it to the final table. Do not know much about his play or style and I can't figure him out. He is from out west somewhere. If he has made it this far, he must be good ... There are no weak ones here. There is a delay ... he asks for more time ... Will he fold or call. Is everybody committed?
Can you believe this? ... Yes he is in ... He is all in ...

Everybody stands up, the floor manager screams .... "Don't show your hold cards ... Pease hold ... let me move the lights and cameras first", You can feel the electricity in the room ... everybody is tense, nervous and anxious. ... Go Malvi !!!

Now I know who it is, who will take it all .. I see the faces and the tells are now there. I am sure of the outcome ... %$^&.. WTF .. What's wrong? %$*&^)*& Damn key board ^%&48&8 .. Mama Mata!!?? Do you &&& what's wrong with %$%^# ... never mind. Are you going by Office Depot? ... We need a keyboard ... I need to finish this .....

Repulgue ...

I had never heard of this word or its use. The following info comes from  ...http://www.seashellsandsunflowers.blogspot.com/ The repulgue is the edge of the empanada . Much like an edge of a pie crust, the repulgue helps hold the empanada together. In Argentina, it also helps distinguish between different empanada flavors thus a means to ID the product.  In hand made operations the beef empanada will always have the same edge style, and many shops will provide a diagram showing the various repulgues and their corresponding fillings.

Y eso? No, no ...no !! Como va se' ?

Después del pedido de Carola en Primos Gasco sobre información del tatarabuelo Ángel Gasco, tuve comunicación con ella para contribuir mi conocimiento sobre mi bisabuelo. Existe buen desafío por adelante para obtener y comprobar con documentos lo Italiano de ese Ángel Gasco. Digo "ese" por Ángel Gasco, natural de Albissola, padre de "el del duelo" del mismo nombre en el Cuzco, quien fue natural de Ilo, Moquegua. Perseguir esta documentación y obtener lo necesario requiere un poco de suerte, mas que todo porque las fechas coinciden con la invasión y destrucción de infinidad de archivos por los Chilenos en su avance a Lima en la Guerra del Pacífico.  Esta es copia de la Partida de Bautismo de Cesar Augusto Gasco hijo natural de Josefa Morales. Evento de un 28 de Setiembre de 1882, criatura de 73 días. En la parte superior izquierda, se nota el añadido de Ángel Gasco como Padre que reconoce y firma un 11 de Enero de 1883. (La pagina de los Ghersi tiene a Angel en 2do m...
