This past weekend consisted of heavy drinking, poker, and a lot of recovery time. The highlight of the weekend was seeing Diehl twirl a girl of the dance floor. To simply describe this girl, she was the opposite of skinny. The funniest part of this ordeal was that this dance appeared to fulfill this woman's lifetime fantasy. But that does bring up the obvious question of "What girl doesn't dream of being twirled around the dance floor by diehl?"
The second highlight I suppose is myself winning the 24 person poker tournament in Phil Hellmuthian style, as I cooked bbq for the first hour of the tourney. I went on to easily win this tourney making me rethink my odds of five to one in this tourney.
Overall very good weekend. Nice to see some old friends and meet some new people while playing a game of quarters. Its now time to lose an online tourney I'm deep in. Obviously my ak goes down to ace 10. I hate poker tourneys.

The struggle
The hand posted below sums up my sessions yesterday. On a couple occasions players trying to bluff hit gut shots on my made hands. This is frustrating but just variance I will get through. I will in the long run take these players money and be back running like I am used to. I need to focus on playing solid poker and not go on tilt chasing my money back. Chasing my money back has been a slight problem lately as I get my money in in marginal spots trying to win big pots. I also sometimes will see more flops hoping to hit a monster, which can lead to getting coolered such as flopping a low set vs. a high set which equals no stack for me. I'm going to work hard these next three days to regain my confidence and replenish my bankroll.

Leading Off
Today I create the first blog of what will likely be an uninteresting compilation of events and stories in my life as an online poker player, heavy drinker, and Wisconsin sports lover. I have been on a downward spiral of losing money both playing poker and at bars. This blog will help me reflect on poker wins and losses and on idiotic performances of myself and my friends.
