Pokah

HOUSTON -- See that thing on the left? Yeah, that's a dateline. I use it in my stories when I'm out of town and in my Longhorn sports blog too.
I'm I'm in Houston covering Texas' basketball team. The Longhorns won today, and they're now in the Elite 8.
That is neither here nor there.
I'm playing a HU poker match. Exciting, huh?
Only cuz I'm drunk (I keep on backspacing and editing myself otherwise you'd be able to tell.)
Well I went through my blog, checking out the old stuff. It used to be a pretty good blog. Maybe it inspired me to play more poker and write a more better blog.
We'll see.

Onward and Upward

Well I'm off to a good start. I won about $150 in a 180-man SnG. by finishing fourth. I've won each of my last two 6-handed SnGs and two of three micro sats.
Stars is running $2.20 sats to a $11 event constantly, and it's just almost free money. I've played a few MTT-style and one 45-man SnG-style. I finished in the top 6 to win SnG sat, and I've won one of the MTT-style ones. Another I took the cash and bubbled. I'm still more angry about missing out on that T$11 then I am happy about winning $150. I had it made but called a raise with AK, and lost on a K-high flop to KK. All I had to do was post and fold, and I would have won but I didn't realize how deep into the event I was. It was sad, and I'm still bitter.

I'm absolutely broke in real life, but I can't cash out because Netteller is done for and I don't have any other system set up. I plan on using ePassporte eventually, but first I'll have to use it to deposit $25, and I don't even have that much.
