By no means do I want to make light of my frame of mind at times. It does scare me that I put myself into stupid situations especially in regards to gambling in general and more specifically in Poker.
One thing I do know about myself is that I lack control of myself in times when control is most needed...When I am drinking.
The kind folks at Full Tilt were gracious enough to forward my hand history to me, so I could revel in my stupidity. I played about 400 hands last Thursday....nutty eh?
What I found when looking through my hand history is that occasionally the gods will smile on you and take pity.
Thursday was such a night for your truly. I had no business playing cards but it worked out. I went through the history looking for logic, but what I found was pure loose passive play. Somehow it happened to work.
So I earmarked some hands I found interesting and tried to channel the donk within who was playing from my body on Thursday. Feel free to weep, laugh, or completely ignore it.
I played a bit of OH8 No limit and made some good money. Here's a hand that established a running theme:
