But I didn't - one side effect of Foxwoods being a 100-mile round trip - and it trickled away on a stream of crappy cards and speculative hands that never, ever connected. Smartest thing I did was get up when I hit my stop-loss, for once in my miserable life.<br /><br />Well, once more into the breech, right?craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-46913483095361132732012-03-21T15:44:21.763-04:002012-03-21T15:44:21.763-04:00The prime rib was the only good thing about it.

Another GIANT SLAB OF PRIME RIB.<br /><br />BTW, I asked what a fella has to do to get comped a buffet there - seems all I had to do is play poker for 40 hours!! So, sure, spend all week playing poker and get a $13 meal out of it.

Best you can do is walk away when you hit your stop-loss and keep your head up for next time. <br /><br />I'm good at giving that kind of advice; not so much on taking it.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-77188208753348601142012-03-21T09:59:46.326-04:002012-03-21T09:59:46.326-04:00Everyone has lots of losing sessions and lots of w...Everyone has lots of losing sessions and lots of winning ones.. the trick is to make the losing ones as small of an amount as possible and the winning ones as big.

I saw a string of unconnected unsuited junk for about 4 hours. If I got a marginally good hand like K-J or A-10 it was always in very early position.

I'm inclined to cut him a break, and substances that are decriminalized in Rhode Island probably have nothing to do with my softened opinion.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-8912530260210142282012-03-21T01:27:32.825-04:002012-03-21T01:27:32.825-04:00Any table I'm a part of has a d-bag in it.Any table I'm a part of has a d-bag in it.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-14308482744203769272012-03-21T00:52:48.222-04:002012-03-21T00:52:48.222-04:00Sounds like pokah in the east is full of d-bags at...Sounds like pokah in the east is full of d-bags at the table.
