Rusted

I could feel the rust on my game last night in the Mookie. Regular (1500 chip) stacks meant you needed to double up fairly early or go home. I went home. Home via the bad play expressway.

As has happened way too often in the BBT3, I was first owned by Cmitch. I swear that he floats and checkraises me all in on the flop a hundred times more often than any blogger out there. As per usual, I dumped my lousy hand (which was bottom pair no kicker) and gifted him with more than a quarter of my stack.

Shortly thereafter I failed to remember that Bayne is, well, bayne. He raised pot on the button and like a retard I shoved the first good hand I'd seen right over the top from the SB. Small problem - I had arrgh AQo and he's not going to fold AKo. Duh.

Riverchasers tonight maybe. I don't know what the game is and I have a million things to do, so who knows. 9PM ET Full Tilt pw riverchasers.

Don't forget to get your entries in for the Underbetting for Value contest. So far Fuel is winning, but you have two weeks left to enter.

As much as I love the donkbet, I am not eligible to win my own contest.

Off topic moment. I purchased some new computer speakers for my office - since I think I'm going to be spending even more time there, why not be able to listen to music. They aren't the cheapest model, but nothing fancy. I cued up the first mp3 and immediately noticed how good the sound was. Great. Now I have to buy new speakers for my stereo at home - this really pointed out how lousy the sound is with the ones I have. Isn't that how it always works? Buy something and as soon as you do discover that you really should buy more stuff.

Oh, and I also need a new computer so that I'm not constantly hanging the processor, but that isn't going to happen.

My MSpaint "skillz" (and I use that term
very loosely) are also a bit rusty. One of these days I need to finish up a doodle that pretty much summarizes my 2008 poker experience...
