Today
pokerroom had a big special event to celebrate their one billionth hand. The winner gets a trip to Las Vegas which is a pretty good deal considering the amount of players on today was up by what to by 1000%. So I figure from all the rakes they took that Vegas trip earned them somewhere close to a gajillion dollars from all the rakes. I was bored while studying so I deposited some real money today to play and make my contribution to pokerrooms coffers. I didn't expect to win but there was excitement in the air which made playing more exciting.
I had a couple of good hands. First one came maybe 30 minutes in.
The sad thing is that most of that covered what I had lost getting use to playing for real money again. Oh well it was a nice pot for a 25 cent table.
After that I folded an Ace and two of diamonds and the flop came down all diamonds. Still pissed about that one. At the time I was so mad I had to leave for a little while otherwise I would have played
on tilt which would have been bad.
I came back a little while later and caught
but after that the night went downhill. I never lost big but I never was really up overall (at least not for long) I need to start playing poker in a buddhist state. With the lack of desire to win I'd probably play better... maybe there's a book in there.
Speaking of religon, nice guy at one of my tables posed this deep theological question which I saw fit to answer.
I've been playing poker all day, I need some sleep. Tommorrow is my dad's birthday AND father's day. Two for one :3
