Days 35,36 and 37 : Played the 50 tournaments I wanted to on Saturday, so felt like treating myself to a few bevvies on the Sunday night

I played the £40 Superbowl freezeout at Cincinnatis and went out 2 from the money with a bad beat. Got a little more drunk as the Superbowl concluded and asked to get in the cash game. It was fair enough that the boss said no as I'm an employee and that's the rule. Funnily enough they don't change the rules just because you're sozzled. It was quite hard to get my head round that at the time though.

Still, I fancied a small bosch at a cash game before I went to bed (poor plan) I went home and opened up Pokerstars (bad plan) logged on and opened up at a $5/$10 no limit table (worse plan) sat down with $1,000 (terrible plan)

There was only one other guy at the table. Patiently waiting for me perhaps?
Anyway, first hand, I'm in the small blind with J7o. I raise to $30 and the big blind folds.

I'm $10 up, I decide to sit out because I thought it might be funny.

It amused me to the degree that it wholly and completely satiated my need to gamble that evening. One hand, it was all I needed, could have easily been down $1,000 though. Playing when drunk is an example of the highest order of dafty waftiness. Cheesy

I felt bad about it in the morning as it wasn't really polite on the other guy, bad poker etiquette is not usually my style. After coming to my senses though, I wasn't about to continue sitting there and give some money away. Getting up was the right thing to do. It was the sitting down that was wrong.

Today I've mostly been dikking around setting up a 2nd monitor...

Dead proud of myself for getting there in the end  Cool

Days 35, 36 and 37 Results : -$16.5 (+$3178.3 total)
ROI : 8.6% (after 618 tournaments played)

A brief note on why I love STT.

Today someone caught perfect on me. A35 flop, I had top set. He moves with Jacks, hits runner runner quads  Cheesy
Now in a cash game or a MTT that might upset me. In a STT it doesn't at all. If I play enough, this kinda thing will happen. Gladly putting 50p in the bad beat tin, and I'm ready to storm the world of online poker tomorrow.
