catching up

had to leave on business RIGHT AFTER the HORSE game. How does one lose at limit at LEVEL 1 - during the H?!

1. run into the luckbox(tm) on hand #1 (I'm talking about you CJ!)
2. Next hand, run TP into an overpair.
3. Next hand, have your aces cracked.

That's right, I lost $1250 of my $1500 in the "H" in level 1. I suck.

Ok, now for something I did WELL. A great decision...

I was hard to put him on KQ when I had two of them. It was also impossible to put him on 78. No, I figured him for QJ and a bluff... well, eventually I did.

And the side effect of making a good decision? momentum!
