This weekend was a lot of fun with the usual ups and downs that come with playing tournament poker. I had intended to be playing more cash games moving forward but I simply did not have the time necessary to really get into it the way I wanted. Anyhow, I am still amazed at how us poker players continue to play this cruel game. There are times when the cards just do not fall your way and no matter what you play you are destined to lose. On the other hand, there are moments of absolute bliss when even Deuce Seven off-suite plays like Pocket Aces and you can’t lose.

Poker can be a cruel and unforgiving game at times and only those that are passionate about it can survive the unpredictable variance that is sure to hit you one way or the other. You gotta love the game of poker to continue to put yourself through this kind of abuse on a regular basis.

I LOVE THIS GAME!
