A Thousand Hour Week

Time certainly drags when you're not having fun. If I recall correctly, the last time I posted, I was debating whether to go play live on Friday. I got home, determined that I wasn't feeling so good, and elected to stay put.

Several hours later, the play chip bankroll had taken a serious beating. Most of it was badhorrible play on my part, but some of it was just bad table selection. When you have the same mutli-tabling play chip ballas sitting at every table, you really should get up and leave. On the plus side, I did end up sitting with Royal for a while. Thanks for the home game invite, sir, and I hope to be able to make it over some time when work and life aren't killing me.

Woke up Saturday, sick as a dog. And so it's been ever since. I hate being sick. It makes me whiny and annoying ... even more so than usual!

After a brutal day yesterday with no breaks, I came home and parked myself in front of the computer. Donked off two buyins in record time, felt nothing other than continued light-headedness, and was at least smart enough to shut it down for the night.

Note to self: You're never going to be a play money tycoon if you keep playing when you're way less than 100% with it.

And so it goes.

If you aren't doing so already and you need a good laugh, I would certainly encourage you to read the Internet Gambling forum at Two Plus Two. Idiots on parade. Any obstacle becomes a full-fledged crisis which begets the dumbest assortment of posts ever.

Full Tilt had an outage a week or so ago. I'm just saying. It might have crashed during a $1 rebuy, where someone was into it for $2. Again, just saying. A few days ago, Full Tilt might have emailed an apology, refunded that someone's buyin and added $10 on top.

I asked that someone what he/she thought of Full Tilt, and they said "this is just another example of why I trust them. Also, lookit that ROI! "

Speaking of free money, the Sportsbook.com people sent out an email the other day offering $20 to $250 free for new signups. The reward appears to be account specific and targeted at former Paradise players.

If I played poker I might consider checking it out. Maybe they have internet craps or paigow or roshambo.

Despite what you're thinking, I am not presently looped up on cold meds. Taking some wouldn't be a bad idea, though. Bye.
