[Equal]

My friend pointed me towards Paradise Poker and some very fishy players playing the $40/$80 games there.

So I open up the tables, watch for a bit, and sure enough there's 3-4 maniacs who have thousands of dollars to burn.

So I deposit $4,000 and sit down. An hour later, I get up from the table with $0.

What a [censored] waste.

What an incredible way to punctuate a 8 week losing skid at online poker.

Don't try this at home folks:

- Dropped $4,000 at the Paradise 40

- Dropped $17,000 at the Pacific 15 and 30 - boy those games have toughened up in last 3-4 months

- Dropped $2,000 last week at the local casino 20/40 game in one night

- 0 for 9 and counting in the Party WSOP Qualifiers with 5 close calls and two win-the-last-coinflip-and-I'm-in misses.

Thank god for the $10k cash at the PPM and the Party $15 game.

I think I need a break. Boy I feel sorry for the opposing team for tonight's playoff hockey game. I'm one mean bastid on the ice when I'm pissed off. Thanks for letting me vent.
