CCR is better but they never gave me any money.
Check out BadBloods post about last night. He finished second in a rapid-blind $20+2 with about 24 players for a very nice little pot.
As for me...great night on the CNR cash games highlighted at the .25/.50 NL tables...

I realize I didn't get maximum value for this hand. But I was certain I wouldn't get any callers. Plus, I figured showing down a monster like this would allow me to buy any pot I wanted for the rest of the night.
I was right. Stayed up till midnight and got up for work at 3AM. It ain't easy being an addict.
Speaking of which, I MAY be a poker addict. I mean this in a serious HOLY CRAP sorta way, and not a joking "ha ha I play a lot of poker" kinda way. Still working on how to handle the obsession. Post to that effect is forthcoming.
Instead of rose petals, do you dream of cards on Mena Suvari?
You may have an issue...

Posted by: badblood at January 18, 2005 7:20 AMYou are a royal addict, apparently.
Posted by: Easycure at January 18, 2005 8:47 AMVNH! I only had Quad Aces last night. They paid me off too. *sigh*. Always second best to G-Rob.
Posted by: SirFWALGMan at January 18, 2005 9:10 AMChecked out CheckNRaise, they are real small now, but I like that they are trying to accomodate customers needs by offering some changes.
Example: Using java, they claim it will soon work on a Mac and already on Linux. For those who dont trust Java, theyre working on a downloadable non-java version. They're also working on creating a Mini-View mode like Ultimate Bet has. I like that.
Different site, I think it has some real possibilities if they could get a thousand more fish in there.
Posted by: TeamScottSmith at January 18, 2005 10:13 AMI knew you were capable of such greatness. Others may say you have no skill, I won't name names, (cough * Otis * cough) but I've always believed in you.
