the remedy of a home game
after getting pocket kings cracked by pocket aces about 65 hands into last nights MTT, i made a last second decision to join in on a home game and give Pokerstars a break. it's been almost an entire week with no ITM finish, as opposed to the three i cashed in over the weekend. this is leaving me with a convincing feeling that i'm better off as a weekend online player.
anyhow, i joined up with my brother and his friend (from the valet business that they run together) over at a local restaurant by his house, sat for about fifteen minutes with them before they finished their beers, and was able to grab another player in the process.
the game started at about 10:45pm, almost an hour later than what i was told previously, and we had about seven players. i decided to organize the structure of the chips and clock for the night, since we were starting so late, and most everyone else involved was interested in smoking weed and drinking beers. so, i did what any poker player does when there's money on the line: play smart, play hard, and fold without aggression.
anyways, i won! and pocketted $60 dollars for my efforts. i'm happy!
