Finished second in tourney this past week- refused a chop several times because I think the experience of fighting for first is valuable. Cost me in the end but glad for the experience! #poker

Anyone else obsessed with their Hendonmob? Mine is tiny but I like to watch it grow! #poker

The time has arrived: it used to be I was just proud of myself when I lasted a long time in a tournament or outlasted my dad or brothers who are good players. Now I’m disappointed if I don’t cash! Still happy when I know I’ve played well, but yesterday I bubbled and was sorely disappointed! #poker

Playing online tourneys - had my AA cracked (I was in third place!) already so maybe uphill from here??

Played a local end of month tourney yesterday. Got down to 5 big blinds at one point. Came back to cash in 6th place! Definition of focus up, patience, and having a little luck on your side! #poker

On this poker journey, I have learned to love tourneys and have worked hard to improve. Last week, I got my first 1st
Place finish- chopped four ways but I was given first as chip lead. This week I got another 1st—played to the end and winning heads up! Let’s go! #poker #keeplearning

Congrats!!

But doesn’t the glorious summer, free of all the traffic, make up for it? #collegetowns #GoGators

Spoof of a psalm poem: I have entered the valley of card death. I shall not win. Deliver me from stank poker rooms and lead me not into more hands.

Texted this to my brother from the cash table today- just dashed it off so maybe you can help improve upon it?

V cool!

Neat! Whats it for? Did you win it?

Playing tonight and decided my table image was too tight so I’d run a bluff or show down a wider range play. First hand with 8 10 off in LP, I flop a straight and second hand 56 suited EP I flop 2 pair and river a boat. So much for showing down losers! lol And yes I did have a winning night.

Thinking through ranges on subsequent streets.

Very very regularly! I’m always looking for the room where my final is happening and can’t find it and no one will help. Occasionally I dream I forgot to attend a class I was registered for and so failed it. #academicptsd

Oof.

Maybe- it wasn’t any kind of scenario where he needed me to order for him. He was sitting there the whole time with no indication he couldn’t order for himself. No smoke, no bathroom. My point- For me it’s about the mental labor a woman has to put in that’s different than for men in poker room.

I also talked to some other men who know me and my disposition and they agreed the scenario was out of line. Not that I need guys to approve of my opinion lol. It was a strange move on this guys’ part. He was a nice guy and all but it was still weird.

Yes- that was not the scenario. He had no reason to ask.You may not understand it but that doesn’t make it untrue. When people tell you something was inappropriate (say sexist or racist) it’s best not to jump to ways to explain it away. I appreciate the conversation- not trying to shut you down.

Now I finally understand that Gandalf isn’t a cat. Glad that’s settled.

Say more. Were you in a hand? Was it someone you know? Was it like- hey catch that server as s/he is walking away? This was a perfect stranger who had no reason to ask. There are ways I which it could be appropriate- this wasn’t one of them.

True story: cash game, I ask dealer to call service. Guy to my right says to me - when server comes will you order me a coffee-cream/sugar-I’ll pay. I’m sure that there’s no circumstance in which he would ever have asked a man to do this. It was weird. Very odd. Distracting inappropriate. #poker

Every year I pick out a blanket I’d like for Christmas, and every year my dog takes it over- so this year I picked one with her in mind!

Sitting next to a guy who has about half a pinkie finger. I was gonna say “sir you’ve left part of your finger somewhere,” but I decided I didn’t know him.

A text I sent during a slow moment at the poker table. I amuse myself. #poker

Pretty much my situation whenever I’m asked for this info.

Can you describe how you feel when you tilt or punt off your stack? Can you feel it coming in a way that you manage to stop and evaluate your move rather than just doing it?

The internet in sum: me in tears listening to Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile sing ‘She Used to Be Mine’ getting interrupted by spouse who insists I drop everything to watch a short of turtles slapping each other in the face.

Fired 2 bullets in the $60 Sunday tourney at my local, and after busting played about 4 hr. cash-in for $200 out for $435. Felt good after a couple tough sessions. #poker #cashgamerecovery

Feels good when you win back your buy-in(s) from a tourney playing cash. Opposite and equal reaction when you lose in both!! #poker

Yep

You know I’m in if you’re still looking!
