Two Good Things

Despite having to part with my beloved canine, today was not entirely craptastic due to two good things:

1. There was some kind of celebration at work in which we received lots of tasty ice cream and toppings, in addition to a free hat.

2. I placed third in a sit-and-go multi-table online poker tournament and won $150. Although I am quite partial to winning money, I'm never going to enter one of these tournaments again. This is what tight limit players do when they want tournament practice because they're scared of the huge regular and special tournaments. People were taking forever and playing like idiots. The play got better when it thinned out to the top five players (who were all going to finish in the money), but before that, I could almost see the hamster wheel rotating in some of my opponents' moronic heads. I made several stupid and rather costly errors and I still placed third.

Okay, so that part about never entering one of those tournaments again is a lie. I'm going to enter another one tomorrow... with higher stakes.
