1st Rule Of Poker

Last night I decided to play the late shift. So I didn’t get to the casino until 9 and played only until about 2:30. Man did I pick a dead seat for good cards. The only up side to the seat was that the two people to my left would always open limp which gave my big blind a lot of protection from steals. it’s a good thing too. In 5 hours of play the only good cards I got were, AKs, AKo, AJs, JJ, and TT. But I didn’t win with any of them. The only hands I managed to keep even with was 52 of diamonds in the BB for a flopped flush, 87 on the button for second pair that held up, 45 suited that I check raised the flop with bottom pair, got called down to the river and a pair of 4s were good. And I called in the SB with 10 6 suited after 7 limpers, I also flopped a flush. So the best hand I won with all night was 10 6 suited. I managed to squeak out a small win on the night so at least that was good. With the cards I was getting I should have been way down.

On an off topic, Monday I start my first “real” job. Even this isn’t a 9-5 job. I figured I couldn’t handle that. I am getting my license to be a real estate agent. I finish my classes on Friday and take my test soon after that. If I do say so myself I think going 28 years supporting myself with out a real job was quite good. Even though the market is not as hot as it was a year ago, real estate is something I wanted to get into for a long time now. Besides it goes well with poker, agent by day - Player by night.

I was out wondering around the cyber world of poker bloggers and found that I am not the only one out there starting a new job. So if you are one of those people I’ll just say Cheers and good luck to all of us, in life and our new adventures.
