Go! Go! Go!

Took a few days off playing and I am ready to get back out and earn.

The last few nights, Ashley and I stayed in and watched a few movies. Bangkok Dangerous was ok, a pretty standard action flick, with a couple of pretty kick ass moments. Last nights pick was Rightous Kill, which was terribly predictable and even though I really wanted to like this movie, I just couldn't. The twist in the movie was tipped every step of the way, and there was no real suspense by the time the big reveals occured. I still have yet to see Slum Dog and despite everyone who has vehmently praised this movie, I probably will end up waiting to see it. Something about it just doesn't draw me in, or make me feel like its a must see.

I've been messing around in the PokerRoad forums more then usual lately. I normally only participate in the strategy talks and hand analysis portions of the forum, but lately its been fun to venture out and interact with other fans of the shows. Im not super big on forum culture, as I tend to think most internet people are pretnetious douches, but everyone is really cool and respectful so no complaints from me on that end.

The other night I passed on one of the local home games and I am still not sure if it was a good move or a bad one. The game is a $1-$3, and somehow the perfect storm of players came through each buying in for over $1K. Apparently the table was loaded with over $8K in play, which is simply ridiculous for a game of that size. I know a few of the players who bought in big, and they arent especially talented or skilled. Outwardly this looks like a bad move to have passed on this, however, the detriment to my confidence right now if I lost would have been severe, not to mention the financial crappiness that it would have been should I have lost a significent sum right before Vegas. The way I figure it, the game will still be there. There is always another time.

Tonight I will probably be looking for a tourny to play or a soft seat in a cash game. I don't really feel like thinking so I want to find the path of least resistence to making money tonight. Sycuan is running an $80 tournament that will probably get the prize pool to around between $7K or $8K. Should be interesting.
