Weekly game results: August 5

Do I even need to say it?


This week Cumulative Average
CR +$5.10 +$7.20 +$1.44
EM -$3.40 +$4.00 +$0.67
ER +$3.25 +$4.00 +$0.80
JB -$6.20 -$9.50 -$1.58
JC +$3.55 +$14.50 +$2.42
Me -$1.20 -$12.05 -$2.01
JN -$1.10 -$3.55 -$1.78

CR leaped into second place in the stats with a healthy doubling up this week. ER had been big stack for a good while, but lost a monster pot (capped on the river!) when her set lost to a full house.

I keep losing an average $2 every time I play. In fact, I’ve only had one winning session in the past 6 weeks. By contrast, JC has had only one losing session, and that was the very first one. ER and CR have each had only one losing session, but they missed a week. I think me and JB ought to start a losers club where we skip poker and get wasted instead. At some point, you need to stop blaming the cards (though the best hand I got all night was AKo, and that had to be mucked when the dealer fucked up) and face up to the ugly facts.

In other news, I came in fifth in the morning freeroll, winning six whole bucks.

Gentleman drinker update

New insight from the gentleman drinker:

…his pedestrianism is predicated on the belief that by his own, smiling, promenading example he will encourage ambulation in others, such as the world has never known. This idea, that the very sight of his tan, hale person, gleaming with sweat and folly, would attract women to walk with him and men to walk like him, is, of course, nothing short of deranged….

I, for one, know that the pedestrian will have to get in his car to trek the 30 miles to my house; tonight’s the weekly game.
