Summer's Here

Just to make things clear; I'm not Pete.
Ever since I joined DeucesCracked my game is improving and my bankroll growing. The more I study about poker the more I feel like I have to study a lot more.

Once you get sucked into a search for knowledge the tendency is to push it as far as possible.

Anyway, there's still time to relax.
Summer (finally) arrived in Brussels.
The sun is shining brightly.
The World Cup is on TV.
The weather is hot.
City parks are filled with sun seeking people.
I heard there's a music festival going on down town.
It's all good. It's all fine.
The best time of the year in this little town.
Let's hope it's a long and hot one....

Six months ago (in sunny Cambodia) I started playing Rush Poker 25NL. Today (in sunny Brussels) I'm well bankrolled for Rush Poker 200NL. Moving up 3 buy-in levels in half a year must count for something... My bankroll is now officially off the bankroll chart I drew up about a year ago.
Good times!

All I need for perfect happiness would be some minor (faked) injury to stay home from work all summer long. So I can neatly divide my time between crushing Rush 200NL, lazy times in the park and studying at DeucesCracked...

Assistance or advice in faking injuries is appreciated.

The Home Game

Meeting people is cool. At least, I thought it was. So I organized a poker night at my place... Filled up the fridge with pizza and beer, spread a green sheet over the table and invited some dudes for a nice, little game of poker...

Here are 5 reasons why I never do it again:

  1. People are swine (pissing in the toilet would be nice)
  2. You put a zillion beers in the fridge and you can be sure some fucker goes for the single can of Ice Tea (I love my Ice Tea)
  3. Spitting out of the window and saying 'don't worry about; it's cool' is not cool.
  4. When asking (repeatedly) to not use my computer it would be nice if anyone actually listened and respected the request...
  5. We played roughly about 17 hands of poker while the rest of this 'poker night' was spend on bullet points 1 'till 4
I'll stick to Full Tilt Poker from now one...
