Show Of Strength
Nov. 12th, 2006 10:24 amI continue to have Lost-Plot-Syndrome at Full Tilt, although I managed to restrict the loss to $50 this morning, which felt like a victory. I am making wrong decisions and playing badly. Luckily, at $2-$4, the damage done financially is fairly minor (partly because the opposition can be equally bad, if not worse!), and I can feel myself working through things.
Here are three hands. In one I make a wrong decision, in the second, I play like a complete fuckwit who should be taken out and shot, while in the third, well, I put it in, because this is the way things are running. Hands like hand three are part of the reason I've begun to play badly in hand two.
For the non-poker fans amongst you, I promise to come back to non-poker-related stuff soon, although I fear that much of it will relate to the technicalities of house-buying and the hell that is being a landlord (if the purchase of the flat downstairs goes through). If you think you get bad beats and whinges at the poker table, you should try being a landlord. Because the moment someone becomes a tenant, it is an established scientific fact that they lose all powers of independent thought and action.
Oh, I watched "The Player" again yesterday. What a great movie. You feel like watching it through again to try to catch the names ("as themselves") that you missed. Was Dennis Franz really there? Tim Robbins has done some good stuff, and this is right up there.
Oh, and on a plus, I played very well to creep into the money in the freeroll last night. Even fifty bucks is welcome!
( some interesting hands )
