More actual poker

I again woke up feeling like playing some poker, so once again I traipsed to Harrah's Cherokee. I lost $200 quickly though a combination of sub-par play on my part, better-than-average opponents, and bad luck. But then the better players left, and I started the long slog to rebuild my stack. It took another four hours, but I left ahead by $252. Because of the weird psychology of poker sessions, this actually felt like a $450 win.

Sadly, again this week there were no hands that struck me as sufficiently interesting to recount in detail.

I did very much like the screen name for the Poker Pro tables chosen by the player next to me, though you'll probably have to have seen the movie "Rounders" to get the joke:



I think I might have to do this "poker" thing more often. It's fun AND profitable! Who knew?

I didn't think you could last long not playing and/or blogging, lol.

How far is Harrah's Cherokee?

I like Cherokee. Have been very successful there. Most recently there early this month. But it is over 6 hrs for me to get there. I'm in East Carolina.
