A Comfort Zone
It felt weird to not play last night. I assume that's a solid indicator of addiction.
As it turned out, I certainly could have played. I chose to putter around instead, doing some extra and unnecessary preparation for a trial today.
Thankfully I have tonight to relax and unwind. I just got in my session for the evening, which was entirely unremarkable. I neither received nor dished out any bad beats - the only time I got a stack in the middle I had a set of nines and got a call from unimproved pocket tens. Ended up a couple value combos and a happy meal. Or thereabouts.
Really I think that playing two or three tables of Rush for a half hour (during Rush Happy Hour) is all sorts of win. I can squeeze in about the right number of points to maintain some kind of status and I get 'em doubled as I inch closer to my goal. It just feels like the right amount of poker.
Of course since I'm me, I'll change my mind on that tomorrow.
Oh well.
Not much going on otherwise. I plan to kill some time window shopping the Dell site this evening - they're running a ten days of deals promotion, but what I think is pretty slick is the "add a netbook for $149" promo. Sure it's their older model, has a wimpy battery and all around mediocre specs, but for a functional 2.5 pound email and surfing machine that would be so easy to take on the road - at that price - it's a pretty neat deal -- especially when, I imagine, you're also getting yourself a new desktop or laptop or even another netbook.
I've been shopping the local Best Buy and Staples some just to increase my knowledge of what's out there, so I'll be interested to see how Dell compares pricewise in general.
Anyway, like I said, just window shopping. I don't know when I'll be in a position to pull the trigger on a new computer - even a netbook - but there's always hope.
