New Highs

Short, boring post, but my first in a week. I guess I just haven't had anything to say. Still don't, really.

X		8	/	X		X		X		X		9	/	X		X		X	X	9
20		40		70		100		129		149		169		199		229		258

9	/	9	/	X		X		X		9	/	6	3	X		X		X	X	9
19		39		69		98		118		134		143		173		203		232

8	1	X		X		X		X		X		X		X		X		9	/	X
9		39		69		99		129		159		189		218		238		258

7	/	X		X		9	/	X		7	2	X		X		9	/	9	/	9
20		49		69		89		108		117		146		166		185		204

Series: 952 Average: 238.0

The first three games add up to 748, beating my previous high of 746 by two pins. My previous four game high series was 948, back when I shot my 299 game, so I beat that by three pins.

I warned you it was short and boring. That's it.

Actually played some poker tonight. Went to Chumash, played $2/5 ($200 max) NL. Made $250, but feel like I lost $550 instead. Built my buyin up to just over $1k before making some stupid plays. Also had AA and KK both cracked, but I probably only could have saved myself $180 on those two hands if I played them perfectly, so it was mostly just getting bored that dropped me back down below $150. Then I won two big hands just before I left to finish with $450. I think I need to limit my sessions to about 3 hours or so, because that’s about when I start to play badly. Not that I actually go and play much these days, anyway. (0)

“I made my arguments and went down in flames. History will prove me right.” — Texas Rangers owner George W. Bush after voting against realignment and a new wild-card system during a Major League Baseball owners meeting in September 1993. Bush was the lone dissenter in a 27-1 vote.
