Taking A Break
I played in 3 tournaments last week. Made it to the final table in 1. We had the final tournament for our 12 week women's league...that was alot of fun....and I am so happy to have been the catalyst behind it getting going.
Last night, I did go play regular poker...and ended up coming in first by default because the person working couldn't come in first! Wooohooo! And up until the blinds went up to 5,000/10,000---I hadn't won any hands! And then the cards seemed to change!
I did notice that I get VERY irritated with people that raise WAY beyond a normal raise....and then they either get mad cuz they got called....or they have absolutely nothing. Good thing I have pretty good impulse control, though....there were a couple of people that definitely were PUSHING my buttons big time!
So while I planned to play poker tonight....I decided that I would stay in and not play....instead I worked on building this blog site! It's almost as addictive and fun as playing poker!!!!!!!!! haha....just kidding! I don't know that there is anything more enjoyable to me right now than playing poker!

Well In8Pokergirl it can be very hard playing with people who try to buy the pot everytime. I end up giving up really good starting hands because of this. I found that if I am patient then I do get the right hand and win big. I am not sure why they would continue to play that way when my style is conservative and they should realize that I don't bet on everything like they do, but then again that is why you and I end up at the final table and they don't.
