Bad Beat

Now, this is a double meaning. For one, I lost quite a bit of play money at Triplejack, and I have yet to recover the bulk of what I lost. I'm having a harder time with the players in the "Zen of Poker" lounge, one because there I get unlucky enough to run into more roulette players, two because I've been trying to play a looser game, but it's not working for me. Perhaps it's the environment, since it's play money, people are more risk taking, and I get unlucky at the worst points. Perhaps my discipline changed as I tried to play a looser game. Regardless, I'm still thinking if I have what it takes to go back to that lounge or if I should stay in the newbie lounge a bit longer.

The second bad beat is for my physical body. I had a very busy week last week, and my body took a bit of a physical beating from the stress. I don't have a fever, but my throat hurts and my body is aching. I guess I have to lie low for a while lest this turns into a full fledged fever. Dry cough and mucus is not fun, it's itchy and feels awkward.

Well, the good news is that my SO did a great performance last week. All the hard work and stress didn't go to waste. I'm so proud of her performance. :)
