One tournament, one win. Every day should be so successful! (Yeah, right, dreamer.)

Played the Poker Analysis Buy-In league's first event of the month Thursday, a $5.50 buy at PokerStars. Played a little quieter and more by-the-book than normal (for me). But I really think the secret to winning was talking backwards (sdrawkcab gniklat) at the start until spoilsport league commish Celine (love ya gorgeous!) put a stop to the fun with "No foreign languages!". (sigh...) Oh, yeah, getting good cards and playing them properly helped a wee bit, too. And a pinch of luck, like the last ace on the river that beat tough CaffeineHigh and ended our heads-up. Sorry about that.

Anyways, I won't every refuse the $22 top prize ($16.50 profit!) and the 100 league points. Can we end the league month right now please?? Unfortuately, a lot of October to go ... and I won't be able to make every league game, so the odds of my first B-I monthly title are still not good. Every game: !!!doog yalp attoG

Now if only I can get some expert online/blogger help on how to change the times of these posts (I am NOT in France, stop confusing me, clock!), how to post links to other poker bloggers and forums, etc. etc. etc. At least, when you're a writer (like unfortunately moi), once you start you just can't stop! Thank you, words and my second-nature true self!

More soon. Keep them cards and letters coming in. Probably no games tonight, gonna help a friend going through job and woman troubles to find some distractions. See you in Vegas Dec. 2-11!
