Back from Greece, ready for Round 2

Well, I'm back from Greece (trip report/photos coming as soon as I have the energy) and I am officially starting summer #2 as a "pro" poker player. If you read the posts from last April/May on this blog I'm sure they're pretty humorous but, even after a year and moving up in stakes, I still have the same feelings about calling myself a "pro."

Played about 3k hands today at $1/2 and $2/4 6-max. Got set mined in a big 3 way pot where I held AA over KK and 55 preflop and the betting totalled something like 30 BB's preflop and somehow 55 managed to hang around to the flop and drag a 3 way pot. I think I may have ended up half a buy-in or so at $1/2 and nearly break even at $2/4 so it wasn't all that great of a day. It was really nice to have access to a computer again and even better to play poker again.

I am going to add a link to my friend's new blog and I highly suggest everyone read it. He is a big PLO player and has a ton of good insight into HH's already posted. Keep up the good work Jim.

I hope to play a ton of hands tomorrow considering it is supposed to be too windy for golf. I look forward to playing poker all day and having time to blog about my results.

As always, check out The Cooler for ridiculous stories of how KB and ikes are huge ballas.
