A Poker Update

1 July 09 - I obviously haven't been playing a heavy schedule of poker recently. Yesterday, I decided to ease myself back into it and grind out some hands in several online micro-donkaments. Interestingly enough, I played more hands yesterday than I have in any single day thus far this year. The total was 1,131 hands. I wish I could do that every day, but I just refuse to play now unless I'm committed to focusing and giving it 100%.

I played in four tourneys ranging in buy-ins from $2.20 to $11. Yes, very non-baller. On the positive side, I made the money in 3 of the 4 tourneys I played. In the nightly $4k Gtd on Stars, I final-tabled from a starting field of 2200+ landmines. Finally nearing 4AM, when I was essentially sleeping through hands, I agreed to a five-handed chop when I was 2nd in chips. On the scale of embarrassing poker moments, this one ranks up there! Chopping a $2 buy-in. Holy christ, what has happened to me?

Regardless, I padded my online roll by almost $500 yesterday so it's all good.

Back later.
