Woo-hoo!

We actually played a poker tournament Monday night at my apartment. I played ridiculously loose, leading to Ian busting me twice and Derek once. I dropped $15 and went to McDonald's.

Full Tilt offered me a $75 bonus that I could redeem over a span of ten days, so late in the evening I sat on the couch between Ian and Derek and played some .25/.50 NLHE. It is important for me to note that I NEVER play at stakes this high in an internet cash game. I have played higher stakes live, but on the internet I feel that competition in these games is above my level. I was wrong- at least tonight. I can't lie though, I caught cards CONSTANTLY, allowing me to make plays and build an image.

I made over $60 in less than an hour. This hand was the highlight of my night. Can you dream of anything working out more awesomely?

Feeling invincible, I moved on to .10/.25 PLO. I took over $30 in a very brief session, a lot of it coming from this wet dream of a hand.

I'm sitting at a .25/.50 Stud table right now. I'm up 4 big bets. Can I lose money tonight?


Who knows.


One thing is for sure; I'm having fun playing poker again.
