So I’ve been under the weather as of late, which completely sucks. My head hurts. My body’s hot… then cold… then hot again… I have that funk taste in my month that drys it out. Life has just sucked for a while… and so has my poker game…
In between, mindlessly watching re-runs of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and power sleeping, I’ve tried to mix in some online poker. Why not right? The laptops right there. The Internet works. Makes sense to me. What didn’t make sense: How bad I played.
Most people who’ve played with me before would characterize me as a nit — meaning someone who only gets involved in pots when he has the best starting hands. To me, it makes life easier. I breathe easier when I hit top pair. I sigh less laying down with no pair. Basically, playing like a nit is the best thing to do when you don’t want to think, because most of time when you hit, you’re a winner and when you miss, you can fold with confidence. Yes, playing like a nit will earn you lots of money and fancy things like ipods, but the journey can be very boring…
Very, very boring. Hence, why I didn’t play like a nit when I was sick. In fact, I played like quite the opposite: a Donk. I don’t know if I was high on the Night Quil or the Excedrin, but at one point I was calling $5 raises with hands like J-4?? Why? Because they were suited. Shoot me please. Suited? I hate people who play this. These people are why the economy sucks. Why UPS never delivers their “s” on time. Why American cars blow. I hate these people and when I play like them, I too deserve to be punched in the face.
If only I wasn’t so delicate… like a flower.
Anyways, I played and played like a donk for several hours and was able to make a decent profit. Then I played like a nit for a few minutes and my Kings got cracked by pockets 8’s. That’s the problem with playing like a nit. When you lose, it’s like they took a piece of your soul.
Ho hum.
At least they weren’t suited.
