Finally

[BAGELBEAR]

Starting the middle of June, runner/runner
was killing me & my better hands were losing.
Things came to a head on 7/11 when my A-A
got beat by a player who thought he had K-K
with a king on the flop. We were all in on the turn,
a queen. When he looked at his cards, he said oops,
but he still won because he had K-Q for 2 pair.

I decided to take a break from live play, the pain of
poker was too much for me to handle. I still played
online & was cashing so things weren't all bad. 2
weeks ago I decided to try live again. I played a few
tournaments at Mandalay Bay, didn't play bad, but no
cashes, that is until this past Wednesday.

Tim had taken a CAT scan to check up on a lung
nodule that had shown up a year ago and wasn't
anything to worry about. Well, you know how it is
waiting for tests to come back, I really tried not to
get crazy waiting for the results. Anyone who knows
me knows that's almost impossible, but I did the best
I could. Well, Wednesday we found out everything
WAS GOOD, it was an old nodule from a cold or
virus that's been there for years PHEW!!!!!!

To cut to the chase, we went to Mandalay Bay
already feeling like WINNERS, and I signed up
for the 3:00 $50 buy-in. After a 2-way chop, we
each got $345. Friday, 2 games, no cashes.
Saturday, early game nothing. 1:00 game, $50
buy-in, 36 players, after a 5-way chop we each
got $288. Then to cap things off, Sunday at 11:00
$50 buy-in, after a 2-way chop we each got $323.

So, since Wednesday, $300 in buy-ins with a total
of $956 in cashes. Needless to say, I'm feeling very
good about my poker playing again. I really needed
these cashes, more for my mental health than my
pocket, but I like how it feels in my pocket, too.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
