I prefer live poker

Dunno if you remember but I mentioned a few posts back that I succumbed to internet poker again. Generally I don’t like to fire up the computer when I am home. Not that I am above that kind of stuff, but most of my browsing is done on a phone now, so why bother. So, I hadn’t really played any Bovada since the night I put the $50 on it. Yesterday I was hanging out at work thinking, man, I sure would like to play some cards tonight… Oh wait, I can gamble on the internet now!

Here are some of the chips that Josh brought over the other night.

I was all excited to get home and fire up the computer.

So, kids get home, wife goes to bed, and around 9pm I finally log in. Hmm, here’s a tourney that costs $3.30 to enter with $2000 guaranteed in winnings. Let’s give this a whirl. Three plus hours later I was…. down $3.30.

I really don’t know how fun this is.

It’s not all bad though. I logged in this morning on my phone as the kids were eating breakfast, and won back the $3.30 playing “zone poker.” That took all of 5 minutes. There’s a lesson to be learned about efficiency somewhere in here that I am struggling to decipher.

I’m really tempted to cash out of Bovada. I’m just much more into the chips, the smack talk, the joking around, and just the company of live poker.

Speaking of which, I am scheduling a game in poker basement for the 19th.
