So I begin

Well I've been pretty busy so I haven't been able to play to much since I started this blog. A couple of weddings to go to, and now a sick relative, and the time really disappears. I did get to Bodog and try bit.

First i went to the cash tables 10 max just to warm up. I haven't played cash games very much recently so I figured what the heck. I won about a $1.67 in about 3 minutes and then the table broke apart. OK, so i went to another table, won about .30 in about 2 minutes and that table broke apart. Now each of these tables were 9 people plus myself. This is when I remembered why I don't like online cash games. So irritated I went to another but this time sat at a .50/$1 NL table. Put $20 down and started to play. 5 hands later I get JJ and bet 3 times the big blind. One person calls. A maniac at the table, in 70% of the hands I think. Plays anything doesnt get out. So no problem I think. Flop doesnt hit him and he checks. I raise pot sized bet to protect my hand and most likely chase him out of it. He decides to raise me for the rest of my 20. Pot odds were good and he was a manic, so after some thought I call him. Sure enough the flop didn't hit him, but he had pocket rockets. Turn and river are a blank and I'm done with the cash game. Goes that way sometimes. What you going to do. I wouldn't of called an all in with JJ, but I was already pot committed and I was sure he hadn't hit the flop. He only called preflop, so I didn't put him on a big pair, so he got me. So better luck next time I play.

Lets try this

Well my life has taken a change and I think it's time for me to make a change. My marriage just came to an end and my health just hasn't been good enough for real work. So in an attempt to make a living, I'm going to give online poker a shot. I've got $500 I'm going to put on the tables. Lets see how I do, hopefully we will see this grow. If not this will be a short blog. A long the way I'll put in a few reviews of different poker systems I have tried and bought.
