I am doing a ride along with Joe tomorrow so I wanted to stay up really late tonight so I can be prepared for staying up late tomorrow. The last few days I have been going to bed pretty early by my normal standards.<\/p>\n
After waiting around for hours of waiting around the house I finally went out the door and headed down to Diamond Lil’s. I was going to play poker to the wee hours of the morning in order to not be tired tomorrow for my ride along.<\/p>\n
It took awhile before I got to sit at a table. There were a lot of people there. Finally I found a table to sit at. I was playing very conservative. Finally I found a hand and I moved. I made bets and raises. One guy said that I had been quiet for a long time and now that I was betting he knew I was playing a good hand. he was giving me respect. Two other stayed in. I had the nut straight, ace-high on the flop. As it turned out one other guy got the same one.<\/p>\n
So I ended up splitting the pot with him and only taking some money from one guy. I guess that is better than what could have happened.<\/p>\n
I came close to busting out totally, but I caught some all-in moments and crawled back. I did walk out down about forty, but I had been down a lot more for a while. I made it home around four in the morning which was the goal, anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
