Addict, Part III

Wow, it’s been a while hasn’t it. That, as you no doubt can tell from the title, is because I’ve been spending all my free time playing poker. I’m now playing at UltimateBet, for real money. Using UltimateBuddy I can find my friends (or people I know play poorly) online and sit and their tables. I’m up a little bit playing poker, and with the signup bonus and referral bonus (I referred my brother), I’ve got almost double my initial $100 deposit in there. If you want to use me as a referral, or find me at a table, my username there is penner42.

Anyway, I tried tonight to not play, because I know I have a problem and play too much. I almost made it, too. Lasted until 10PM. As of now (11:25PM), I’m up $4.55 playing at .25/.50 limit hold ’em tables. Make that 3.80. AQs no good. And my brother had to go and checkraise me. And now 5.90 with my kings full of queens. All in about 2 minutes. Enough of that.

Right, so my point was… I don’t know what my point was. I guess just that I’m still here, and just haven’t been posting anything because I’m a fricken addict.

I’m gonna have a poker-only blog soon, I think. I’ll let everyone know when it’s ready. That way, the rest of you don’t have to read me bitching about losing on the damn river all the time.

I want to play it so bad, but I’m such a big chicken about playing with real money online. Funny how I never was afraid of losing to strangers in a real life casino lol. One of these days, I’m going to sign up for real 🙂

I think it’s called the river because that’s where everyone drowns. The other guys in my weekly poker group here in Copenhagen love Hold ‘Em, but it’s a terrible game to call in the middle of an evening of Dealer’s Choice… I play very conservative and almost always end up folding before the river. Meaning most games of Hold ‘Em end in one of two ways for me, as the river spills forth:

“Thank God!”

or

“God damn!”

Finally one night we played a time 45-minute game of Hold ‘Em with a 100-crown buy-in, and I finally understood the strategy and pleasure of the game.

But I still lost, dammit.
