I played in several tourneys tonight. One was the daily $1,000 tourney. 1500 players, I placed 2nd place and won $150. That's more than I make in one day of work! If I can do this shit several times a week... WAKE THE FUCK UP JACQUI!
Anyway- I'm getting much better at poker. I still make my stupid calls, especially when I'm high stacked and want to bump someone out of a tourney and I have a good hand, but I'm learning not to chase so much and to fold even when my AK suited looks good. Sometimes, ya gotta learn to hold onto what you have and make it closer to the finish line like a turtle and not a rabbit.
That same lesson applies to life. Sometimes, what looks good in the short term hurts us later on down the road and we have to weigh what we have and make the best decision based on the set of circumstances which apply to that particular situation.
If you love poker, but hate to lose money, then you must play here with me. It's $20 a month and you can win hundreds every night if you are good enough! Give it a try- 14 day free trial!
My winnings since 4/24/06~ $260

Poker Thoughts
My life is like poker - I either go all-in or I fold...
It's true! I've always been that way. With bipolar, we either don't (can't) do shit or we don't stop till we literally drop. When we are dealt that good hand, we raise the shit out of it with the sole purpose of winning and coming away with our prize.
The same is true with life. We should recognize the good opportunities, run with them and fold the crap.
I wish real life were as easy as folding or playing a poker hand...
