Life Is Good
So, I basically haven't played poker in a couple of weeks, but today Theo staked me in a $55 tournament on PokerStars. This hand happens within the first 45 minutes. I wouldn't even think twice about this hand under my normal circumstances, but because of the situation I'm in now, every suckout and 'bad beat' (not saying this is a suckout at all, although i do consider this hand a 'bad beat') just hurts so damn much (doubledamn :)). It's just so sick because I basically haven't played poker in a few weeks and I jump in a tournament today with a first prize of 5k and this happens to me (see below). Maybe I should be happy to have a job.

Pretty unlucky there Maxwell. Poker is a cruel, H-addicted whore. It's mean, it's cold and there's a lot to figure out about it.
Sometimes it seems like this dirty tramp makes no sense, but with some determination and with a firm hand and a steady outlook and a bankroll that can handle the worst of the dips, a peaceful chi may be attained.
Keep on keepin on.
