Weeky update (at work again)

Well despite my better efforts I am still not being as consistent as I would like. Not much has been going on. My only other session playing poker this week was a short one. Friday after I got home from work Melissa had some friends over and they were carving pumpkins so I decided to squeeze in a session. Pretty much as soon as I had settled in they were leaving so the session was only 200 hands but I ran pretty well and made 2.5 buy ins so that was nice. It also made me wonder if I might be missing out on value because I generally sit at the same tables until they break.

I am wondering if by doing this my opponents are seeing how aggressive I am and start to play back at me. I know that most people at my level are not great players but everyone notices the same guy win pot after pot. Maybe I should set a goal playing like 50 hands or winning like 50% increase in my stack getting up and leaving the table. This is kind of hard to do playing 9 tables at the same time. I don't think I will start doing this but it's an interesting theory.

Last night Melissa and I met some friends at "Thrillvania" which is on the east side of Dallas a little over an hour away. This was the first time in probably 6 years that I have been to a haunted house and after all the hype I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately it was kind of lame. It cost $35 a piece for the VIP pass that allows you to wait in a not as long line and we had $5 coupons. It says 6 attractions but I only counted 5 and one of them was a little maze that was made of chicken wire and had strobe lights. The houses are nonstop lines, not done in groups. You are basically being herded through these houses so it basically becomes a timing issue. One of the attractions was a bayou where its basically pretty open and people just run up on you. Melissa wore sandals (I am not sure why) so we skipped that. The other house had a really long line that didn't really move so we skipped that as well.

Honestly for the drive and the expense this place is not worth it. I would rather have driven 10 minutes spent less and gone to Hangman's. I am planning on going to check out Hangman's at some point this week and we shall see which is better.

Only 4 hours until I am done with work. I am ready to go home and play some poker, need to make some money so I can move up. Ready to start making the better money than I am currently. At least the calls are slowing down, I started writing this at 12:20 and its now 5.

I am looking for a decently cheap used car, my mom offered me $1800 for my truck which is way more than I can get any other way. The thing that sucks is my credit isn't great and I don't have any money put away. I have been looking over Autotrader and every car I find has already been sold the day before I call. I am being pretty picky because if I am going to be making a payment on a car I want it to be something I like.

Anyway I am going to read some forums and play some Teagames until I am done with work. I'll post anything interesting from my session tonight tomorrow.

Later
