It wasn't easy

When I last left you, the Pokerroom BR was at $314. Not bad considering where I was at one point, but when I got out of bed this morning, the Pokerroom BR was at $267. I managed to donk off $49 yesterday and it didn't seem that hard. Especially considering I finished third in two $11 SNG's. But after getting stacked for $35 in a .50 NL game and losing two other $11 SNG's, the BR stood at $267. Well, I am happy to report that as of this writing, the Pokerroom BR is at $331. How did that happen you ask? Well, when I got out of bed this morning, I hopped into a $1 NL full ring game. I play these every so often because they help accumulate points toward clearing bonuses and other pokerroom stuff. Well, this morning, I bought in for $60 and after a few hands, I picked up 9-9. I raised to $5 and get one caller. The flop is all low with two clubs. I bet $15 trying to pick it up right there, but the guy calls. The turn is a red Q. I bet $10 and the guy raises me all in. I don't know why I called, but I did. Well, the river was a 2s and the the guy flips over A-9 of clubs. He was on a flush draw and didn't get there and I am a bad poker player who doesn't really know when to fold so call me "doubled up" at this point. I started the game with $60 and cashed out $124. Not bad for a weak ass poker player.

I know many of you have heard of TAG (Tight Aggressive) or LAG (Loose Aggressive) but I think I'm gonna name my game LAW (Loose and Weak) cause that seems to be the way I'm playing lately. I make too many bad calls in NL and I've been make too many bad calls in SNG's too.

I have cleared enough points to play in the $3,000 Freeroll on Wednesday night. I cashed in this tournament last week. The top 100 get paid. even though it was only $10, it was still a cash.

Pokerroom BR at $331. That is down $269 from the start.
