It Was the Best of Times...

...and by God, it was the worst of times.

Lat night was perhaps the most frustrating cash game session I’ve ever had the displeasure of taking part of. It all started when my aces, queens and a flopped set were cracked in back to back to back hands.

Enter Tilt.

I pissed off the rest of my buy-in on some really donkalicious play before leaving the table to gather my thoughts and attempt a comeback. It was not to be. While I managed to do extremely well at the 2/4 tables, I pretty much sat around 2 hours of complete 3/6 card-deadness while donkeys were spewing chips left right and centre. I finished the night down 48$ thinking of what might have been.

And yet, I really can’t remember the last time I had this much fun playing Poker. I don’t know what it was but it really reminded me of the days of yore, when I was toiling at the .25¢-.50¢ tables and a 7$ profit was considered a good night. To this day, I still believe that was the period where Poker was at it’s best for me. It was all about the love of the game and the aspirations of moving on up the highest limits possible.

I guess we can really call it a resurgence of sorts. I probably played more hands of Poker last week that I did for the first three weeks of July. It this a bad thing? Of course not, I’ve pretty much been a consistent winner at all the levels I played at. Getting more hands lessens the impact of variance. There’s also this little thing called Rakeback...

While I’ll continue to hit the tables hard in August, I will also turn my attention to the plethora of Casino bonuses that are floating around. I’ve seen other bloggers grind their way through these to great success so I decided to join myself. I’ll research the subject a little more and I’ll try to set up one tonight.

I really doubt I’ll have time to hit the WWDN tonight but I’ll stop by and sweat towards the later stages.
