It was a good week.

I went to Chicago for a couple days for work. I got in a 4 mile jog on Lake Michigan and got to eat at Gino's, the latter being something I have done on each of my 3 trips to Chitown. Jane was in St Louis Thurs-Sun, so Fro spent the whole weekend eating healthy, going to bed early, avoiding the sauce, waking up early and not playing poker. And everything you read on the Internet is definitely true.

On Thursday I went to Jackie's and learned that they now play 2-5 NLHE one day a week - Thursday. At first I was unhappy about this, as (among other reasons) I didn't bring enough money to play 2-5. Well, I had more than the minimum, but it isnt my style to play with scared money. I like to buy the maximum buy in, fire in big bets on a regular basis and rebuy back up to the max regularly. Some things you read on the Internet are true.

It was a wild ride mainly becasue their craziest customers evidently favor the higher stakes. And since the game is only 2 weeks old, the bad players haven't been bankrupted (yet). I ended up cashing out nearly even - $5 down.

I returned on Friday for the $65 freezeout. I got 25th of 40 players by never winning a hand. I played the cash game until 2ish winning $150. My favorite quote of the night was:

"I'm not a bad poker player; I am a drunk. There is a difference." Classic.

Saturday afternoon I won $25 playing micro limits for the purpose of qualifying for my reload bonus. (yes, I had to reload the big bad 96 cents). Saturday night I played for about 8 hours and won $105. I am going to play 1 SNG right after this post and that is it. I have played 20+ hours of poker and I think I am getting sick of it. And everything you read on the Internet is definitely true.
