Catch-up post

I have an excuse for not posting in a while -- I'm house-sitting for 2 weeks. As excuses go, I realize it's pretty thin, but work with me, people!

Last Wednesday night's session, though a losing one, contained one highly memorable hand -- my first ever royal flush. For that matter, it was my first ever straight flush. You'd think I'd remember the suit, but all I remember is that it was black. I'm 75% sure it was spades, meaning if so that my hand contained "the prettiest card in the deck" (to quote Norman Chad again).

delta: $-8,344
balance: $357,142

On Monday, my biggest pot was worth $30,000; I had an ace high straight.

delta: $12,200
balance: $369,342

On Tuesday, my second biggest pot was worth $22,200; I had an ace high straight again. My biggest pot was worth $30,600; I had a six high straight.

delta: $21,900
balance: $391,242

Tonight, I won the first two hands I played, and hung up my cleats right there and then. On the first hand, I won $11,800 with two pair, queens and tens. On the second, I won $21,600 with a ten high straight.

P.S. I'm glad to be all caught up with the blog again, and glad to be over $400K again.
P.P.S. You gotta love them straights!
