A nice payout

Bounties can be fun.

Tonight was the Mookie. I haven't played it in a while. I was able to play tonight - sometimes, you gotta love cashing in freerolls and building up something, however small.

Riggstad decided to place a bounty on AlCantHang - one bottle of SoCo.

About 40 minutes in comes this awful, horrendous play.

Full Tilt Poker Game #2989548094: The Mookie - Crazed Poker (22691435), Table 2 - 50/100 - No Limit Hold'em - 22:51:26 ET - 2007/07/18

AlCantHang stands up

Sick, sick, sick. Totally sick.

That was an absolutely stupid play on my part, that early on, and I got stupidly lucky. Of course, the rest of the night, I got no respect for any raises at all, and I went out in 27th because I couldn't adjust to save my life tonight.

But, at least I'll be able to get my drink on and be very comfortable in the South. A little.

After the Mookie and Dookie finished, I fired up a .25/.50 NLHE table while completing my writing assignments for the week about torts and Mitch Williams, Richard Jewell, and Tim McVeigh - also known as three people who have never been in my kitchen.

I was able to finish up almost one full buyin, despite not getting a hand better than A-J or 2-2.

Strange, strange night.
