Brag: Mondays at the Hoy

Well, finally, a much needed shot in the arm for my confidence. I finished third (of 75, I think) in the Monday Battle of the Bloggers game on FTP. No one would actually talk to me or anything, and the structure was turborific (which is not my preferred style), but I hung in there long enough to cash decently.

I made one clear mistake, and that was at the very end: not calling an all-in on my next-to-last hand. I had an ace, and would have taken it down, putting me way ahead. Instead, in an excess of caution, I folded. It is of such decisions that winners are made, and I'm obviously not there yet.

All-in-all, however, an okay experience; I officially no longer hate poker quite so much.

Until the next round of horrific beats.
