I am 75% sure I am going to play this. Depends on how late saturday night is, but I want to start playing this on a regular basis.

HAHAHAHA- tite story actually just noticed it! Nice MK dizood, cept MK didnt sprain his knee, even weighin in at 91281lbs... -- however, i woulda came home pist and turned over all my furniture after a night like that probly, so it woulda been a wash at anyrate...actually know what? Im please to say that (i think) i have outgrown that rather uncouth habit...WOOOOOOT ME..Also, makin out with random chicks isnt usually that big a deal in my experience- now if youdda had the 'oops im just gonna have sex with you real fast and GTFO of here sex' (which i cant claim to have ever experienced/seen before BTW) -- then there mighta been ramifications....as it is, aside from toasted pot/huge stain on wall, sounds like a normak nights work..

So we had this stupid "secret valentines pals" thingy at work today.

I figgered it would suck, because 95% of the gifts are candy and flowers.

Here is what I found in my office this morning.



Sweet. Now I have an excuse to start poker games at our office parties.

So I just got my teeth kicked in today, then something strange happened.

I made a bunch of fts and near fts, but for little return. 8th in a $40 razz (paid 5), 7th in a $20 stud h/l (paid 5), 10th in a $1 razz mtt (for like $4, first and second would have been decent), and 5th in a $11 5 table sng (for $55).

I lost $25 or so playing 2/4 razz.

I lost 110 or so playing 3/6 stud.

Then, mostly out of frustration, I jumped on a 5/10 table with $150. I lost a couple hands including one hand where I lost a $140 or so pot with split nines against split eights when he made eights up and I failed to improve.

This is where it gets odd. In past situations jumping up to 5/10, this is where I would have panicked. This time I did not. I regrouped, waited for a hand (which turned out to be split aces) and tripled up. I built the stack up a bit and waited for a good spot.

[00:39] Mekos King: MISSED TURN BET


I got up with $310. First semi-decent win at 5/10 I have had.

I realized that this is a pattern I have gone through when moving up. I started at 1/2, so when I first played 2/4, I had a couple rough hands, panicked and would force the issue with what I had left. After doing that a couple times, I would get used to the level, not panic, and proceed to play poker the way I am capable of and start running it up. I am very happy to finally have that session at 5/10.

Maybe things have turned around.
