Money Lost, Dead Lawn Mower, etc….

Sunday’s 1st mistake
I play a bit of poker here and there and Sunday was no different. I was playing No Limit Holdem online and got myself up about $300 or so. I realized one of the downfalls of online poker… When you go all in at a live game, you know it. You push your chips in and are 100% aware of the chips you are wagering. In a particular hand Sunday, I had AQ and the flop comes with a Queen for me. One of my opponents bet $14 and I called thinking that he may have a Queen as well and I know with an Ace kicker I am in good shape. Next card turns, its nothing but a rag… My opponent and I are head to head now and he bets $10, I call…. Now I think he is chasing. Next card, no help… He bets and I call. The problem with this is, he bet $150 and I hit the call button without noticing the amount I was calling. Well, we show hands and he had Pocket Queens and I am dead. Leason Learned : SLOW DOWN and analyze all online bets and make sure to hit the right button. If I would have slowed down, I would have layed my hand down and only have lost $30-40 instead of almost $200 on one hand. Good news is that I made 1/2 back over the next hour.

Dead Battery Again!
I went to mow my lawn and my mowers battery was dead again. My son likes to play on the mower and act like he is driving and I think he left the headlights on. Grrr… So now my jungle is growing as the charger is working. I will try again tommorow!

The dead mower was good for my son though, we played outside on the trampoline for a while. Lazy Sunday!
