Last Day for India Internet Poker

Leaving India tomorrow morning, so this is my last hurrah with cash internet games until they legalize it (or I return to India).  After making up for most of my losses day before yesterday, got spanked for 3 or 4 buyins yesterday.  Not a good day....flopped straights and had people chase bigger straights and get there, also flopped a set and had a guy call a huge all in bet on a gutshot draw!!!

Just for fun, working on chapter titles for my poker book, tentatively titled:  Dr. Phil's Poker Adventures

Oooh, a poker book by Dr. Phil! This could be very entertaining. (I'm serious.) I am particularly interested in Chapter 17 - LOL. Hope you had a terrific vacation & maybe I'll get to visit with you someday and hear all about it. My poker budget is super tight right now, but I do hope to play Steve's tournament on the 20th. Hope to see you then! Have a safe trip back.
