Ever since my decent $1200+ cash, I’ve been leaking money online. It shouldn’t be too big of a surprise, considering that I am focusing on tournaments more. My sample size since the cash is pretty small. I’ve maybe played 10 assorted tournaments or SNGs in total. But the results have been steadily poor.
Woe is me. Not really. I am only down maybe $250 from the $1200+ win and variance will happen. For the most part, I’m playing well but falling to the large fields; large fields as in around 200 people. I still don’t have it in me to play the 1,000+ player events. 200 is more than enough.
No complaints, though. That’s the nature of the beast. I am just being cautious, so that I don’t get into a place where I am too comfortable thanks to my win. $1200 isn’t a huge amount, generally speaking, but for a guy who has been making do with less than $300 in his online account for a while, it’s a big step up in the online bankroll. Usually in these situations, I’d withdraw the majority of my big score to keep me from playing too high. In general, I’d pull out about $800, take at least half for my live poker wallet and the rest for wifey Kim and my savings. Remember guys, if you chick doesn’t get a taste of the action, she’ll be less likely to embrace your degeneracy. If she gets too big of a taste, though, then there is no point.
That’s today’s Jordan’s Pimp Hand Tip! “My Pimp Hand’s Strong!”
Meanwhile, back at the castle, I’m battling a pretty nasty cold. This Monday, I even considered taking a day or 2 off, but societal and work pressures made me show up at the office, where I blew my nose, sneezed, or coughed every 60 seconds in an effort to ensure that my coworkers also suffer through this bug. I swear, I hate coming to work sick, but that’s what is often expected of us.
I was thinking more about the Michael Jackson situation. I have a point I would like to add. I am not one to vilify MJ, even though it would be relatively easy thing to do. I simply want to expand on my rant about the exploitation of his ‘children’ with one more point: Micheal Jackson never wanted his kids to be thrust into the media spotlight. WHY WOULD HIS FAMILY UNDO ALL THAT HE DID TO PROTECT THESE KIDS?!?!?! Because there is no money in protecting the kids’ right to grieve in private. There is no fame to be gained by taking the high road and allowing these children to live in anonymity until they are old enough to choose whether or not to live in the spotlight.
Man, that shit just pisses me off. What about the children!?!
Ok. Deep breath.
So, anyone see Lost yet? I have a theory on the show that I think fits with everything. I’ll share that in another post, though, so you can all focus a bit better. See? I’m always thinking about you.
Until next time, make mine poker!
