When you keep getting weak hands, patience is the key to playing poker. I played for 2 hours tonight and came out $8.60 ahead playing .25/.50 at a ten seat table. Usually I play 6 seaters, so this was a little bit different. I had to play a little bit tighter and watch myself. I was swinging up and down a few bucks early, but wasn’t getting shit for hands, so I was playing 20% or less of the hands. After the first hour went by I started to pick up a few hands and never looked back. When all was said and done for the night, I played 26% of the flops and won 11% of the hands.

I also brought out some of my poker chips today. I need to start practicing poker chip tricks again because I’m pretty rusty. Hopefully I’ll get my Vegas trip booked tomorrow at work…we couldn’t get ahold of the company I’m taking training classes through at all today.
