Under the lights

On Friday night, I got under the lights again. It's a great feeling :-) You need both skill and luck to get there. When you're running good, you feel invincible; it doesn't matter how small your stack is. Playing poker is like riding a train over tracks which either appear just before you're about to get to them, or fail to appear. In the latter case, of course, you derail; in the former, your train keeps blithely chugging away, making further progress across the countryside. Playing poker when you're running good is this same scenario, with the addition of your strong belief that the tracks will never fail to appear :-)
