Joe's home game on Monday

Strangely, about two days after I posted my first entry declaring that I would begin to keep this journal, I had the worst run that I have ever experienced in my poker career, and it lasted about a full week and half. Eventually, I'll go back through and explain that bad run and how it impacted my bankroll, but I didn't really want my first post here to be on such a negative tone. So, I am going to start by posting details from home games that I played in the past week.

I played in three home games last week. ( For now, I only have time to describe the first of those. )

Tomorrow, I am going to Foxwoods for the day. I am probably going to play the full-kill $5/$10 HE. I'll probably sit down in the baby NL HE ($1/$2 blinds with maximum $100 buy-in) first for a while, just to see what the game is like these days and to establish my extra credit for earning Wampum points. I may try the $10/$20 HE if I build up some bankroll in the $5/$10. If I the games seems good, maybe I'll even try the big NL HE game ($5/$5 blinds, no maximum buy-in). I play with a lot of home game opponents whom I can beat at least some of the time, and they play in that game. It can't be that tough if they are able to hold their own in it.
