Huh… That’s nice, innit?

Published by Textbook 2 years, 8 months ago in Online Poker, Home Games

Last Thursday my home game reconvened after a long hiatus. I managed to triple my $10 buy-in, in addition to laughing my ass off and having a hell of a time.

Then last night, I pop onto PartyPoker and this happens:

Played on : 24 December 2005 12:24 AM
Game Type : Texas Holdem
Buy-In : $10
Fee : $1
You finished in position 2
2nd place - ItsAllJake - $30

Neat, eh? I attribute that finish to some crazy luck more than anything. And absolutely nothing other than the poker gods can be given credit for this morning’s result:

Played on : 24 December 2005 10:02 AM
Game Type : Texas Holdem
Buy-In : $20
Fee : $2
You finished in position 1
1st place - ItsAllJake - $100

Given the fact I had no excuse for winning that money, I cashed it out immediately (by which I mean I’ll be transferring it to Paradise or Full Tilt).

You’ll no doubt notice I have completely given up on the idea that I possess and particular skill for the game of poker. I suppose that attitude explains the dearth or posts here, eh?
