Withdrawal symptoms

Work has been extra busy for the last several days, so I haven't had time either for poker or for blogging. I've been missing both, to the point of experiencing mild withdrawal symptoms. I'll temporarily appease both cravings tonight.

My last session was on Saturday night. I hit the felt at the first table I joined, then made it all back plus some to spare at the second. I think that may be my most common pattern since switching to playing the high roller tables. Let me delve into the archives to see what went amiss at the first table ...

Ah, yes. How could I forget? Actually, the answer to that is quite simple -- I didn't really want to remember, since I made a really bad call. My losing hand was a two pair, which I went all in on after playing only a couple of hands. Seems to me I remember swearing at some time in the past that you'd never catch me going all in on a lousy two pair. Why did I break my vow? I guess since the top pair was aces, and I'd been dealt them. Still, I have to learn to lay down precisely that type of hand.

Speaking of pocket rockets, I had them not one, not twice, but three times on Saturday night. Guess how many times I won with them? You already know the answer's not three. It would make a great story if I could say they got busted each time, but the truth is I did win with them once.
