It's RIGGED!!!

Today has been a busy day. I leave tomorrow for the coast for my cousin’s baby shower…actually I’ll be clam digging, my mom will be at the shower haha. I’ve been doing laundry literally all day long. Something has been in the washer and dryer since 9am. (It’s 10pm now) I did the dishes this morning which took me about a half hour… Crazy day in the life of Brian (my name if anyone didn’t know lol)

Anyways, lets get to poker. I played one session of 12 games at about 1pm. Did terrible. 6 minutes into my session…

Oh boy, gunna be a great day again. To make matters worse I made some really nice calls verses some regs and they would suck out on me the worst way possible. Just one example:

After I got done with the session I immediately loaded up all 12 games in Wiz and looked through them. I didn’t play too bad. Every game was just bad beats after bad beats. So, I was in a bad mood while I picked up my fiance at school and brought her to work.

I then went and ate two McChickens at McDonalds (terribly unhealthy I know, but I was starving and I really felt like something good). After that I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a three day clam digging license for this weekend. I hate Wal-Mart…

When I got back home I did more laundry then played poker. It only took 11 minutes:

Then Poekrtracker decided to totally freak out and start using every ounce of energy my computer had. I restarted PT and it worked fine, but my comp was about to die so I got through the games okay, and restarted my computer and everything was fine after that. I played only three more sessions this evening. I was just too busy getting my house in order and getting ready for my trip for the weekend. The good thing was that I almost made all the money back that I lost yesterday and what I lost this morning. I wish I didn’t have to take a three day break from poker. I feel like I’m playing really good. It sure is nice to win once in awhile. Maybe I can keep this going from now on. I gotta stop freaking out when I lose. I’m actually playing well and losing is the nature of the game.

I’ll see you guys after the weekend. I’ll have to blog about my trip maybe Sunday night. I predict it will be along the lines of “it was raining and the wind was gusting non stop. it was freezing and i was miserable the whole time” lol I love being optimistic.
