Instant Satisfaction

I came to the conclusion that tournaments were like long term relationships that included an arduous courting process where you put in hours and hours into foreplay without getting laid. Whereas cash games are like those ladies you pick up at the Hooker Bar in Las Vegas. Pauly

Just a quickie, here's the highlight of last night's visit to the poker red light district, during my 53 hand stay I made $130 in less than hour, which I think is a record return/hour for me at the $.25/.50 tables. 4 hands after this one I went to sleep, glowing :o)

Any comments about playing this better/differently are welcome of course. Meanwhile in the real world I am still writing forms and submitting cheques and applications for things related to the new flat, which is now due for completion on the 5th April. We're also thinking of selling the boat too, about which I am totally gutted, it's a tough decision to make but an essential one at the moment. Don't forget to sign up for the brit-based blogger tourney on Sunday and tell yer friends !
