Some days, I wonder why I bother playing.  The other day, I played 1/2 Rush for 1 hour and made 5+ buy-ins.  I jokingly posted on 2+2 that I should just stop playing for the day because I *knew* it was just going to be downhill from there.  Of course I don't actually think like that, so I take a few hours off to hang out with the family and then played an EIGHTEEN HOUR SESSION (new DoubleFly record) and made no money.  Oh well, at least I was still up the $1000 from the earlier hour session.  I was only intending to play my usual 8 or so hours, but being breakeven was so annoying for some reason that I just kept playing.

It started off well - I made another $700 in a few hours, but then it was just mind-numbing poker the rest of the way.  I didn't realize I was playing that long because I was watching some World Cup matches, Yankees games, Wimbledon matches and PGA golf I had recorded.  The nice thing about all those sports is that they are not *so* riveting that my eyes need to be glued to the TV all the time.  It's not like American Football (handegg, as the Europeans like to call it, which sort of makes sense since the football looks like an egg and is held in the hand) or World's Strongest Man or anything.

Oh well...  At least I didn't lose money during the 18 hours and I made another $500 in rakeback for the DAY, which is pretty ridiculous.  I'm actually thinking I should move to PokerStars, because that $500 could be $1000 since I put in enough volume to be SuperNova Elite (later post).  It's not like I actually make any money playing poker or anything.

CONVERSATIONS

So I decided to have a new segment of my blog where I present a transcript of conversations I have in my everyday life.  Here's a conversation I had with my son the other night before I read him his bedtime story.  Anything in "( )" are comments and anything in "{ }" is what I'm thinking:

G: Dad, you're different from R's dad (R is a friend from school)
DF: How so, son o' mine?
G: R's dad has a hard belly and yours is soft.
DF: {FFFFUUUU!!!!}  O Really?  That's silly.

I suppose it could have been worse...  instead of bellies, that conversation could have been a woman talking about our genitalia.
