Lucky break

2006 continues to rule, as I won half the pot at poker last night. I was up by quite a wide margin, and then Joel and I went head-to-head, and I played really crappy to give him money so he would let me leave. It was about 1 in the morning.

I think I played okay. I was doing pretty poorly at first, but then I came back in a big way. I plain ol' lucked out on a few hands, but I took Kevin and Arik to the cleaners on a 10-high straight. Mostly I just got a lot of good cards.

Unfortunately my winning streak meant I was the last one there, save for Joel and Jenni, so I couldn't bum a ride off of anyone, so I wound up walking home. Still, a profitable evening. I'll go back to losing my shirt next week.
