PermaFrost
It is getting to the end of summer and I am FROZEN. I decided to go down to the Muck on Friday night and I got into the $30/60 game after a 15 minute or so wait. Good to see some faces I had not seen in months. The game was pretty good, good line up of both good and poor players, good company. I took my seat, won my first hand, then never won a hand the rest of the night. Correct, NEVER won a hand the rest if the night. 3 1/2 hours of folding, missing flops, draws, and second best hands. I never even took a bad beat post flop. I had some pocket pairs get out flopped by overcards, but that is not a bad beat just some bad luck to have none of them hold up. I just missed everything right on the flop, mostly so bad I could not even think about trying to make a hand. I never put a beat on anyone. WOW, that was about as cold as it gets.
This summer had just been horrible. I am ready for the fall and hope I thaw out then. Someone throw me a lifeline. Maybe that was the run I needed to end it. I hope so, because poker is not any fun if you don't even have a chance to win or play. I was actually reading really well that night. I spent the whole night calling out hands and amazing people(after action on the river of course), sucks to not be able to use that skill for anything other than folding overcards and pairs when you know you are beat and drawing slim to dead after the flop. O well, poker life goes on. I dumped two buy-ins for those who care.
I don't think I will even play this week. Hope you are all winning, you are if you are at my table, and I will talk to you soon or maybe next week. SJ

Let's hope the "perma" in PermaFrost isn't so permanent.
I should have heeded the advice in your last post. I decimated my BR in Vegas playing NL when I should have stuck to LHE, my specialty. Oh well, I guess I can say I “took a shot.”
I’ve had some minimal tournament success lately, so I’m really gonna try to resurrect my bankroll. I’ll see you at the big game eventually – it will just be later than I planned.

As an aside, have you seen the new construction around the poker room at the Muck? I hope they turn it into the next Foxwoods. I know it’s not really possible with the $500 betting cap in Washington, but I sure would like to see some regular mixed games as well as some Stage I, II and III tournaments. Do you think they might spread qualifiers for WPT or WSOP seats?
