Highs and Lows
Poker is a funny game. You can play it for high hand, low hand, or high/low. You’ll also run into many emotional highs and lows over the course of long hours at the tables.
On Saturday I continued playing at Empire to clear my bonus. Four tables of 6-max $25 No-Limit was once again the game of choice. Early on I was stuck about $100, but I clawed my way back and was up $100 just before I was about to clear the bonus. This is where I usually fall apart with loose calls. It happened once again and I lost the profit I had worked so hard to earn over the course of 3 hours of play. I still finished ahead for the session, but it was disappointing. I cashed out $100 ahead for the bonus and somewhere over $200 ahead for play at the tables. Not bad for 6 hours of play, but it should have been so much better.

Back in the Ring
This morning and early afternoon I played poker for the first time in 2 weeks. In order to clear the latest $100 Empire bonus I opened up 4 tables of $25 6-max No-Limit. I made an early mistake when I flopped 2 pair against a flopped straight. It cost me a quick $20. After that haned I settled in and played my game. For an hour or more I was hovering about $15-20 ahead. I simply played the cards I was dealt.
Later into hour two I started to get some better hands, which all seemed to hold up. My AA went up against KK twice for nice pots. In another hand I flopped the nut straight with AQ. Another player also had AQ and one other had 2 pair. I went runner runner for the Q-high flush and took down the pot of over $100. I had forgotten how juicy the games are on the Party network.
In just over 3 hours of play I came out over $220 ahead and cleared more than half of the required raked hands for the bonus. Coming back from a week or two away from the poker tables always feels good.
Why Keep Going?
Most of the time I wonder why I keep this poker blog running. I haven’t posted anything worthwhile in weeks and you could even debate that was worth anything. What do I really have to offer the poker community in this poker blog? To be fair, I haven’t played much poker in the last month or so. In a few days I’m off on a 4 day golf trip. Maybe I’ll come up with an answer when I come back. (Wow that was painful to go back and read, but I don’t feel like giving it any more thought right now.)

The Premier Site for Poker Chip Tricks
Just a friendly reminder to visit the best site on the Internet for Poker Chip Tricks. It’s complete with videos, images, and tutorials of all the popular tricks as well as many tricks submitted by site visitors.
It’s just too bad the big G hasn’t realized it yet and made it the #1 result for poker chip tricks. If you have your own blog and PCT isn’t in your link list…what are you waiting for? Help a fellow poker blogger out! Did I mention you can access all of the tutorials, videos, and images for free?
According to Technorati, almost twice as many sites link to my shitty poker blog here at 2HC compared to the number of links to PCT. That just isn’t right. PCT is a much better site than this. Add it to your link list or blogroll NOW!
OK, that’s the end of my shameless personal pimpage.
I’ll be out of town for a long weekend to hit up “Naughty Fest” back home in Rogers City, MI. Read my Naughty Fest 2004 recap for more info.
