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.

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.
