I quit

Haven't updated in awhile, but I am pretty much done with poker for the time being. Lost my $200 investment on Nordica, but it was no surprise. I was playing NL $100 with a very short bankroll, took a couple of bad beats (KK running into AA to cap it off) and made a few bad plays as well. Just don't have the bankroll or desire right now to keep going at $100 NL, even though I can probably beat it. But I'd rather just try to get an actual job and make an actual wage sans variance.

Update

Didn't realize it had been almost 2 months since I last updated this. So yeah, really just haven't been playing at all. A few weeks ago I was available to log in and play a nightly LOLmaha but the site couldn't connect. Didn't think much of it, said "oh well" and did something else. But when I couldn't log in again or get on the actual website itself then I started to think something was up in the poker room. Looked on twoplustwo to see if there were any posts about it, and someone wrote that the management on another forum referred to the players as "FREE ROLLING SCUM". LOL. Can't find that post anywhere on the online internet though and too bad because that would be a fun thread to read I'm sure. 🍿🍿🍿. I can't really blame them for that sentiment though because the only time the site had any type of traffic was during the Sunday night freeroll. Then of course there were other players like me on there that were pretty much ...

Righting the Ship

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t...

So Long Dragonroom

Heard some scuttlebutt on the online internet this week that 5Dimes was going to exit the US market and that people should get their money out of there. So that prompted me to go into my GrandPoker account and request a cashout. Didn't have much optimism that they were actually going to give me the money, based on what happened the last time I tried to cash out. Actually made a good run of it turning $0 and some GPPs into $106. Figured I'd request a cashout of $100 and then still have a few bucks to play with if I felt the urge. So went through the process for cashing out. First tried to move the $100 to the sportsbook and then go through that but still no option on the website to cash out; had to request it via email. Also the only real option was to go through bitcoin, which actually isn't terrible even though I wasn't a fan of that method a couple of years ago. I actually got a pretty quick response, but it wasn't really one I wanted to see: "Our poker depar...
