Feeling uneasy at the tables after 7 nonplaying days

7days after the big bout with my fiancee (thanks toasty for the correction :lol: ), i'm finally back playing poker. The fight started cause i used to pretend to sleep and get caught sneaking out of the bed or playing poker at early am hours. A week break from poker really patched things up. My girl's sleeping like a baby as i'm typing this.
Lost five straight $10 SnGs puhehe :lol: .
7days ain't really a long time.. but i did feel quite uneasy at the tables. Up until last week, i was on a mad rush playing SnGs and some ring games. Cashed out $1500 in total before the fight, i wish i can blame the fight for my losess, but i know i played like a moron.
Low stakes SnGs seem to be real nice games to build your bankroll slowly, but i think it's important to play them without long breaks because you lose your edge after some time.
I got back playing limit ring games too today and luckly made up for my losses. I saw Fnord's total winnings (for limit ring games) the other day. I change my mind, ring games are definitely more profitable than SnGs. The other day at twoplustwo, i read a thread about this guy making some $10000 in three days playing limit ring games. Everyone believed him and everyone seemed to know him. I actually found a better limit player than Fnord. Impressive. This is getting nowhere, sorry dudes. I just wanted to drop by and say hi, celebrate my comeback on my own. WTF... i ain't drunk guys...

I'd think that's much better than sneaking off with another woman 8-)

Anyways, don't sweat your uneasiness, you'll get your groove back soon enough after you settle back into your usual strategy and start raking pots your way again

BTW - did the $1500 withdrawl not help out your case in the argument? I would think the first sign she said something, you say " Look Hun, here's a little piece of my earnings" and she would be thinking of a nice dinner, ect to waste it on ;)

:D

Dammit I'm still laughing and I'm at work too, I'm gonna be getting some weird looks soon...

Hehe almost lost my samosa that time.

:P That has to be an online poker first. Faking sleep. You could have told her, "Hey, you fake headaches. I fake sleep. We're even." :wink:

So when she confronted you about the poker you didn't tell her "Don't make me choose!"

My hours of sleep have dropped from 8 to about 4-5 since I've been playing. The best time for me to play is when everyone else is sleeping.

take a couple of chips, attach earring clips to them, and give them to her as a present!

:lol:

Now that i think about it.. it is kind of funny, and kind of sad too. My girl's like my mom now, shouldn't this happen after you get married or something? I mean, she makes me eat veggie and says that i'm an adult only when i'm at work. Although i completely agree with her... pupuhehehe~ you just don't say that to your man, that's not right. :lol:

So i told her i ain't cheating or anything, and she says, "This is even WOrsT! You spend more time playing poker than you do with me". Yeah right, i'm sure she'd prefer me cheating on her rather than falling in love with poker.

Anyways, i'm hoping that i'll feel much more comfortable at the tables tonight. Earlier this morning was a disaster, Toasty could have played better than that even if he were asleep.

I thought the winnings would help, so i deposited the whole thing in our savings account (didn't spend a dime on me). The thing is though, she doesn't like where the money is coming from, large sum or small don't matter, my dough don't get the credit it deserves.

Unfortunately... she doesn't fake headaches anymore. That happened on our 3rd year. Now, if she don't want it, i don't gets it hehehe.

I couldn't agree more. The most profitable hours.

We've been dining out all week long the past week, i wish i could have spent some of them $$ at Atlantic City... To make her feel even better, i twice take her to her father's restaurant. A little over 4yrs into this relationship and i'm yet to get a single discount from her Dada's freaking restaurant. Do any one of you get along with your father in law or to be father in law? I fucking dislike mine, mixing in his italian slangs when he talks to me and laughing the fuck out of himself when i don't get wtf he's saying.

Her two giantic brothers would shove them in my ass.

With little luck, i'll be playing again tonight. I never knew i'd fall in love with this game as fast and as much i have so far. The game is almost as exciting as getting a peek of the girl's locker room. I'll try to make $10000 in three days like that other guy at twoplustwo did, i'll let you guys in on the secret if i do succeed :lol:

Woops! Here comes mom! Later dudes

that last post is gold, jj, i'm still laughing. you could do a sitcom based on your life! :lol:

and jj, you're even funny enough for both of us to share the honor of "FTR Comedy Scrub(s)"!

your FTR thong is in the mail. :lol:

I agree here, the thought of JJ lying in bed with one eye open with a pretend snore has me in stitches :P

and then he sees the in laws "forge abou it"
