Work, Poker, and Women.........in that order

Work: It's going awesome. I'm done training now and loving my job. I get paid well and I'm getting really good at making drinks and enjoy learning about mixing drinks and different spirits. Tomorrow is my first day working not training, meaning I get larger tips (don't have to split them with my trainer).

Poker: It's going shitty. I'm down a few hundred for the month. I guess it's just a bad run, but it's so frustrating sometimes........you all know, why am I bothering to explain it. Fun hand from the other day. I'm the button and playing a normal live table, meaning there's 8 fucking morons there. I've won a bunch of little hands and have a stack of $580 (1/3nl I started with 300). The UTG (lucky fish who's got like $1000 in front of him) opens to $20 and there's 4 callers. So $100 in the pot and I look down to KK and decide I'm happy with taking the $100 now so I'll just make it big. I raise to $220. Without thinking the UTG snap calls and everyone else folds. Flop is TT3 he checks the flop I shove he calls and of course..............he has TT, flopped quads and stacks me...........sigh. Oh well, equity wise I'm crushing the games.

Women: Went out a few nights with this girl I met from Hawaii..........not gonna kiss and tell, but it was a good time :)

Plus, I went to hang out with some friends at one of the casino pools few days ago and ran into one of the blackjack dealers from the Wynn that was there with a friend. This girl is really cute and I flirt with her at work a lot, but she just smiles and shakes her head. Well we spend some time together at the pool, and all of a sudden she's giving me her number the next time I see her at work. She's out of town for a few days, but I'll be trying to spend some time with her very soon.

  1. Sounds like things are going pretty well for your overall. Don't sweat the poker. Things will turn around soon. Feel free to take a break for awhile if you like. One small thing - try not to think of them as 8 fish. Sure that's what they are, but they're all bad in different ways. Some guys bluff too much, some guys call too much, some guys are nits and of course some guys put in over 1/3 of their stack with 20% equity and bink the flop on ya haha.
