A bad run, free money, and a nipple slip
Not a good night at the poker tables last night. Not at all.
How bad was it? At one point when I was all-in during a tournament and leading with top pair vs. third pair, I found myself wishing for the one card that would split the pot, because otherwise I just knew I would be beaten with some crazy river card.
Same tournament, I finally give up the ghost when a guy who had taken a bad beat one hand earlier pushes all-in in an apparent I'm-disgusted-and-I'm-either-going-to-double-up-or-go-home move, and I look down and find AhQh. He has me covered, barely, but I figure this is the hand I'm forced to make my stand on. I call. He turns over 10h5h. You know the story ... 10 on the flop. Bye, me.
Which, you know, so it goes. I can't complain much, because I didn't have a made hand or anything. I just get so tired of making the right move and getting punished for it. Maybe it wasn't the right move, though. I don't know anymore.
My only bit of luck on the evening was running into one of those free money deals at a site that, amazingly, I've never had an account with before. And, of course, I'm perfectly happy to share the details with you.
The site is called Poker Net Online and their deal is to give you $50 free when you sign up a new Titan Poker account with them. That money is also eligible for another $25 bonus after you accumulate 2,000 points at Titan, so you're basically getting $75 free. I signed up last night and had my money in my account last night, so I can vouch for it. Now if I can just avoid losing the money ...
One non-poker item to report today: Lindsay Lohan showed her boob to the world yesterday, the result of a wardrobe malfunction at a car fashion show. I've seen it and considered posting the pic here, but actually I've never been so bored looking at a bare breast. It was just sort of ... there ... dangling and lifeless. But, if you feel you really must see it, you can find it at this site.
