Four money finishes in my last five Ringo's tournaments.  Not to shabby.

$3/6 Texas Hold'em

Should have left with a profit.  Just got bored with the game, played too many hands towards the end and lost some pots I shouldn't have been in.

Online poker play in Washington state

Washington state has some tough online poker laws.  Is it a wise idea to risk playing online if someone deals cards for a living, or should I, I mean someone else not worry about it?

$2-$10 Spread-Limit Texas Hold'em

Poker is a drug to me.  When I notice myself playing solid and end up with positive results at the end, it feels oh so good.  Not to many things feel quite so good; I mean time with friends and family, the first toke of the day and getting off aren't too bad either, but poker can be up there.  Not sure how healthy that really is, but I've never been health conscience anyways.
  I tell you when it goes terribaly wrong it's like the drugs wore off.  It sucks.  I find myself caring less about the money and more about the results.  Fuck the money.  When bad players suck out hand after hand for half the session, and then I can't catch a pair to save my life for the other half, it just sucks.
  There was potential if I wanted to keep pulling out hundreds, but I had that feeling, I believe some call it tilt? So hopefully I used some wise judgement and walked away.
  I find live poker to be much more maddening than tournaments, for when it goes bad its one jab at a time, little here, little there, while when tournement poker goes wrong, usually it's only once, maybe twice and the pain is over.  KO.
  What am I getting at.  Absolutely nothing.  I just needed to vent.  Oh yeah, I folded a strait flush too...

February 7, 2008, 5PM: Played 2 hours, 42 minutes, Made $55.00 at Players & Spectators
$23 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (4th out of 35 Players)

First time back at P & S in years.  Lots of familiar faces.  Good tournament, 6,000 in chips, 15 minute rounds.  Only knock is seven dollar entry fee, due to some player supported promotion.
  Key hand: Blinds at 25/50, I'm in the BB with A/5 of hearts, everyone folds to the button who raises to 250.  SB calls as do I.  Flop comes 7d/5h/2d.  SB checks, I bet 250, button raises to 600, SB folds, I call.  With him raising me here I put him on an over pair, but figure I should call here with a pair and a runner draw.
  Turn comes 3h.  I check, he bets 1,200, I call.  Now I figure it's pretty hard for him to put me on a hand at this point.  An ace(as long as he dosen't have wired aces), four, five, or heart makes me the best hand so I like my call.
  River comes 7h.  There's no way he likes this card(unless he has a 7), mainly due to it being top pair on board.  I ponder before betting 2,000.  Agony shines from his face.  He takes a while, but eventually calls.  When I show him my flush he pretends he's in drama class, slapping his pocket Jacks face up on the table.  "WOW, Your the best player in the world, WOW!", he says as he storms off.  Politelly I thanked him as I deposited my new chips into my stack.  Nice to get off to a good start in a tournament for a change.

February 6, 2008, 1PM: Played 2 hours, 15 minutes, Made $78.00 at Ringo's
$32 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 23 Players)

After five rounds (1 hour 15 minutes), I had played just two hands, pocket aces and pocket kings, doubling up both times.
  Key hand of the tournament: Four handed, I'm under the gun with 15,000 in chips, blinds at 2K/4K, the second card dealt to me is an exposed 4 of hearts.  The dealer laughes and says I didn't want it anyways.  He deals me another card and I look down at pocket fours.  If I'm nervous about playing fours without knowing one is already gone, I really don't like them now.  So I ask the dealer to look at my hand as I muck, he does and smiles.  The next two players go all-in with mediocore hands.  Before the flop is brought, the dealer shows the table my wired fours and laughes again.  Sure as shit the case four comes on the flop and the other two players don't even pair up after five cards.  I'm left shaking my head at what would have been, knowing I push if I hadn't seen that exposed four.
  I'm not sure if I made the right play here, am I still correct to push all-in here, expecting a call? Anyways, still had some fun, felt good to finish in the money.
