I had a big day of poker planned today. I was planning on leaving around 9 a.m. and driving to Spirit Mountain Casino...about a 1hr 45 min drive. I was planning to play poker all day, meeting my boss and best friend, Geoff, sometime in the evening and end up in Salem spending the night there. I love the Spirit Mountain poker room. There are 17 tables with every limit and type of game available. Plus, they are having an anniversary celebration this week with prizes and great promotions. I even have a $10 free ticket for cash if I go during the week. But there was a snag. I wanted to bring Helene along with me so she could visit with her good friend, Geoff's wife, Lark, and she couldn't leave until Friday or Saturday. Oh well, if we leave Saturday I can try to qualify for next quarter's freeroll tournament at the American Legion. A bright spot!
But, now to the heading, not a good day to play poker. Since I was home today, I played in several low buy in tourneys (50 cents- dollar). I got crushed!!!! I didn't come in higher that 4th in any of them....and since they only pay 3 places, not so good. I have found that playing online is a good indicator of how my cards will run at a live casino. So, I probably saved myself a couple of hundred dollars by not going today. I am becoming a big believer in luck that runs in streaks. When you are hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not.
