Last Night's Results
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Like I said, knowing that people are out there reading me helps to keep me motivated.
Blogging has become a hobby in itself, separate from the hobby of playing poker. I'm getting more and more into it. Lately I have started really keeping up with most of the popular blogs on the 'net, and I look forward to reading them every day.
Incidentally, I hope this series of political rants that has recently infected the poker blogging community stops. My humble and unsolicited opinion is that it can pinch value away from the whole scene. I will say no more on the subject.
Links to other blogs will be added here eventually--it's on my to-do list. I do appreciate the linking I've received from other sites, and rest assured the favor will be reciprocated.
I had a pretty stellar night. Played three $5-10 limit tables at a time for about 1.5 hours. Two of my tables canceled each other out (-129 and +121), but I booked a huge win at Pacific, finishing up just under $500. I only got mediocre starting cards, but the ones I did get paid off in spades. Pun-intended--I hit more flushes than I'd care to count.
Pacific Poker sucks. I hate almost everything about them. Oh, except one thing. The $400 I bought in for there early this week has now swelled to about $1900 (that includes $100 in bonus money).
Three more things I hate about Pacific:
There are many more problems, too. Pound for pound, though, they currently seem to have the worst players. Which is the reason I am going to keep playing there.
I made the final table in an 84-player $30+3 tournament at Pacific last night as well. I finished 5th, and could easily have taken 4th if I had made just one more laydown. But I wasn't shooting for 4th; I was trying to build a stack and make a run for 1st.
I also finished DEAD LAST in a multi at UB. But we won't talk about that.
Have a great weekend! I'll see some of you at the World Blogger Tour tournament on Sunday.

Three more things I hate about Pacific:
- You can hardly tell the suits apart, and there is no option for a four-color deck (something I have really gotten used to).
- The no-limit betting slide bar does not stop on even numbers, so everyone tends to bet amounts like 427 and 221.
- Their tournament lobby does not update in real time.
