When I am home in Cannon Beach it is difficult to play in a "real" poker game more than once a week. Other than the Legion game there are games in Astoria, Seaside, and Wheeler but just don't feel comfortable in those. The Wheeler game in particular is funky, played in a huge upstairs room in a restaurant. It is small, maybe 2 short tables, $40 buy in, so not huge rewards, and feels a little like a home game. Maybe I have residual bad feelings from my one time playing when I got knocked out with pocket jacks vs. pocket queens.
So, playing free tournaments online is my game now. I sometimes judge how well I am playing by my results, which is wrong, but still an indicator if I am consistently "cashing". Yesterday I came in 12th out of a couple hundred, losing my coin flip of AK vs. 66 (I raised, he reraised, and I pushed all in preflop). Day before yesterday I "won" 135,000 by coming in 1st out of 146 players. Also won a couple of other sit n go's. So, feel like I am playing well, and getting good results. Too bad I am not on some real money tables right now. Will be in Tri-Cities for 2 weeks starting next Tuesday and will play in the freeroll tournament if enough hours, which I heard is not a problem. Plan to play lots of tournaments and cash games if they go well. SEE YA!
