Shoulda Known Better
Thursday, May 04, 2006
I should not be playing poker when I'm not feeling it. I've been trying for weeks to attend the Wednesday Mookie tournament, and I finally had my chance yesterday. I should've just skipped it though. It's not that the Mookie isn't a good time. The crowd is great. It's just that I was trying to watch Lost with wifey Kim and my play was rushed and half-assed. I ended up bluffing away most of my stack to an obvious calling station and then pushing with poop just to get it over with. What a waste of $10.
But it doesn't stop there. Earlier in the evening, I bubbled in a Rio, for another $23 loss. I then played a Full Tilt HORSE SNG with GCox, only to bubble in 4th. Up for some more fun, I played a single table NL SNG with TripJax on Full Tilt only to, you guessed it, bubble in 4th.
So, lesson learned? I guess. It isn't a lesson that I haven't "learned" a half-dozen other times before. Sometimes, I'm just not into playing. I still play though, and as a result, I lose. Total losses last night equaled $50+, so I'm super glad for the $72 profit from the night before.
I've been working some things out with Noble, the only site where I am an affiliate. I've discussed the site here a lot in the past, and I'll keep doing it because the action is so soft. Well, apparently some of my referrals weren't credited to me. To resolve this, if you decide to sign up on Noble via the links in this post or the banner on the side, remember to add Coupon Code HighPoker (no "on"). I can even throw it a little something extra for you, if you email me first. The email address is HighOnPokr [AT] yahoo [DOT] com (no "E"). I have about a half-dozen email addresses though, so if you know another one, that'll do too.
I also encourage you to sign up for VPP and PSO (referral code HighOnPoker).
Anything that I pimp here, I use and I sincerely like, so no bullshit from me.
The DADI site has some teasers regarding DADI 6, and it involves some prizes provided by Vegas Poker Pro, so check that out too, if you get a chance.
Last but not least, I'm working on a short story as my follow up to Message in a Bottle, which was e-published in the e-zine Truckin' by e-editor e-Dr. e-Pauly. The new story is entitled "Lucky Me" and takes place in a Vegas casino. Keep an eye out, because I think I got a solid one, and I may be posting it over the weekend.
That's all folks. Enjoy your Thursday and have a swift Friday.

Dormie, making a new banner takes time and effort. It also takes Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. You also need someone who knows how to use those programs. I suppose you can do a primitive one with Microsoft Paint too. Once you do that, I'm not exactly sure of the ins and outs of actually editing the blog. Send me an email directly and I'll pass along some more info. Depending on what you have in mind, maybe I can help out.
