The key to last weekend's comeback

Last friday at 3am, I got home from a great night of dinner and dancing in manhattan and jumped in some great 1.5k/3 games and immediately got stuck big. I almost packed it in for the night but instead fired up the electric teapot and drank cup after cup of tea. I mounted a huge comeback and the game finally broke around 9 am with the NYC sun shining bright.

Brian Eno Quote

I think, if you spend a day or-- as many people do-- a life working only with that aspect of your being, the cerebrum connected to a finger, I feel that the rest of you atrophies, essentially. It's all wasted, and it feels wasted. You feel dead. You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why-- it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M [laughs]. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action. - Brian Eno

I try my best to balance life and poker playing, but too often it overwhelms everything and I end up feeling disconnected from my body. This quote perfectly articulates how poker makes me feel sometimes. To balance out my tremendous internet use, I find great solace in the tactile routine of cooking. First thing tomorrow morning my whole wheat "Power Bread" is going in the oven.

Just had to laugh

Lately, there is a fish driving the action in a lot of the 8 games who has a tendency to call way too loose in all games. My friend sent me this hand history from yesterday to exemplify his ridiculousness:

So today in this pot against the same opponent who lost the previous pot with deuces, the previous hand was forefront in my mind when I went for the slight overbet bluff, hoping he had learned a lesson :) Me and my buddy both had a hearty laugh when he flipped over his hand.
