Even though time gets shorter and shorter for me to play, I’m still pulling some winning nights. Like tonight, after only about 12 hands. Obviously I need to stay in for longer, but there it is.

I feel like I owe this mostly to picking the table. I found a table of loose players who were all doing poorly. Or at least, playing poor-ish hands for the hell of it. It was a matter of waiting for a good hand and betting it. It felt right because he was following me on the hands. Could’ve whipped out a third 7 and I would’ve been toast – as has happened a million times before – but luckily, not so.
