Coming to you from that very elusive place…. 1st place! Is it time to take a break when your mind drifts to how best to slip some swine(pig), to a muslim, instead of concentrating on the cards in front of you? Probably so I think! Being an amateur mental chemist there has to be something the doc’s can cook up that will turn you into a bionic nerd capable of unparalled concentration!

This is why it is just plain a waste of time and a seat to bring the minimum allowed to a NL table! Now I am as certain as you can be, at a table this guy has flushed but what have I really lost and what has really gained here? Are you trying to gain practice at being a “ROCK”? Don’t get me wrong being tight passive isn’t a bad thing but it is not a good thing either IMHO simply a waste of frigin time…

So the real moral of this is if you only have a 10 dollar bankroll you would be much better served to get your butt down to a 5 dollar buyin game, so that you can build winning skills along with your bankroll.
Well hope everybody has good fortune at the tables unless of course you are up against me!
