random thoughts and thoroughbred selections
"All life is 6-5 against" - Damon Runyon

Just swimmingly, thank you...

Two hours of $2/$4 on PartyPoker is enough to make your head spin.

Or mine, at least.

Within the first 30 minutes, I'm down $65, and it's not looking too good. I got dealt countless open-ended straight draws on the flop, and chased probably a little too hard.

So, for the last 90 minutes, I resolved to buckle down and play better. No more chasing.

I went on a +$113 run (thanks PokerTracker) that was highlighted by sweeping a $51 pot on an unlucky bastard that limped in with 25o, caught two pair on the flop to my top pair, and then saw the board pair up a middle pair, rendering his two pair second best.

Fucking deserved it limping in with 25o. Dude saw over half of 25 flops I played with him, and gave $74 to the table over that time (doing such things as betting a ten-high flush to the river with multiple raises in front of him). Oh well, thanks for the donations.

After the first 30 minutes, those last 90 really restored my faith in humanity.

I did somehow land a cold or allergies or sinus problems seemingly out of nowhere yesterday. I can't seem to shake it. I even cleaned the crap out of my house to try to maybe collect all the loose pet hair (times emptying bagless vacuum dustbin: 3). Still, no dice. I feel semi-miserable.


There are lots of casino bonuses available on the internet for all countries like casino bonus deutsch, casino bonus italiano and casino bonus svenska. You can get the best online casino bonus using the bodog casino code.



UK Poker is growing quickly and there are now several good UK poker sites. Many of these are well known bookmakers such as Betfred, Ladbrokes and also betfair who have launched Betfair Poker.
