More often to update there than on here. Go Go LiveJournal!

So thanks to deyna_otter  I'm getting back into poker.
I signed into my Full Tilt for the first time in probably a few months. My cash bank roll had been left stagnant at $2.40 for the longest time, I just had a bad run so I haven't touched it in a while...
I started out warming up with some play chips which was an awful idea because, since it's not real money, people will go All-In on every hand, doesn't matter what it is... which is no way to play and just pointless, so I checked out a couple of the smaller cash games with $2.00 buy-in and such.
Had a couple of decent hands against 4 others at the time. People in the small cash games, very much like play chips, do not play very seriously, though, slightly better than the no-money d-bags and it actually gives you a sense of accomplishment when you take them down.
Ended up wiping out the table and winning eveyone else's all-in calls, I try not to play with rubbish hands ;)
So from $2.40 after a couple of hands, I am back up to $10.71.

Yes, I understand that 10 bucks is not much, but I'm feeling more confident in my poker skills because of it. I'll continue playing the smaller games until I get my bank back up to probably $50 minimum again.

I would like to start building up to play in a Mini-FTOP tourney pretty soon too. Low buy-in tournament with some good cash prizes, chances of cashing out too are like, I believe, up around the 12-15% range on Full Tilt Poker which gives me a better chance at, at least, knowing my level of play against more serious competition online which I haven't done in a while.

I think i'll start progressively updating my journal about this too, at least to keep track of my personal progress and possibly get some tips from fellow poker furs on bad beats :3

Wish me luck! :)

Really bored right now, just got out of work and tired... almost over my remaining PCD from Fur Fright. Placed 4th in the saturday night Poker tourney out of 25 entrants so not bad, Loki took home 1st place, well deserved too. Lots of fun this year, though I do still think that 2007 was over-all more fun. I missed a few people who didn't come this year, however, I still made more aquaintances to make up for it which is always nice. Dunno what else to say really besides "Cat-Dick" which was amusing on its own, to those involved. The rest of you are probably just scratching your head thinking i'm some sort of weirdo for not explaining that one :)
Maybe I'll try and remember more stuff and post about it later.

And now, Beating up 5-year Olds!

So that time of the year is upon us, the time of the year when a somewhat major furry event is going on in my area. Fur Fright 2008 is here!
Every year since 06 I've had an absolute blast at this event and i'm certain this year will be no different. Hoping to see a lot of the same faces as previous years, get introduced to some new ones, hang out, have a great time. Can't wait, see everyone there! :)

ISA BIRFDAY HUSKY TODAY!

No, I'm not going to recite the end theme to Portal... though I probably could >.>

So it's July, also it's 2008. I have not touched this in many months though I have glanced and commented during the down-time of actually posting. I've gone to a new job since then, bought a new car, done a few other things. One thing I have been neglecting is well, sadly, my friends of the furry variety and I feel bad about it. I am still on IRC, though 99% of the time I'm not around, just idle. This is due to the fact that my new job requires me to be on a computer ohhh... 100% of the time so it's like, when I get home I don't really even want to use my own computer even though it's better than the ones at work.

I missed AC though I wanted to go terribly bad, but the new job got in the way since I had only been there a short time. Fur Fright 2008 looks more promising since it's much less of a commute and I can't wait to see you all again!

And now, a kitten with a guitar


Sincerely yours,
Houndey :3
