Good results on Reefer

Hmmmmm, that title may get me in trouble at a casual glance. Oh well. Coming down with a stomach flu (something I ate?), just want to go to bed, don't care about much of anything right now.

What I do care about, and what has me feeling a little better in my pain, is that I just got out of my slump a little. Played the Reefer Poker League Winter Series II's Event 3 (why'd nobody alert me that the Series started with two games last week??), played mostly solid (though far too card-dead and thus over-cautious the third hour), and finished 6th/58 entrants for a $23.40 payday. Would have liked to do better; I was tournament leader most of the first six levels (flopping a set of kings to crack aces on a three-way all-in in the first five minutes sure helps!). But the way things have gone the last few days, I'll take any rays of sunshine!

Winter Series II runs all January, games every Tuesday and Thursday (8:15p CT) for $5.50 each. The eight-game series qualifies coupon-earners to The Final at 16:20 Reefer time on Sunday, Jan. 31 -- and that championship features $550-added plus a $109 coupon for the winner.

If only Merge Network software wouldn't freeze up so often, primarily on its "refreshes", and be so slow to update the standings or translate my wagers. I was about ready to throw the computer through a wall a couple times. Why can't computer/software geniuses come up with good dependable solid smooth programs for poker????? But surviving so long/well (and cashing) against such a tough field made the frustration a little easier to bear. If Reefer (a member/skin of the Merge Network) only ran smoother, and if it only got the old agreement with PIC Club going again, it might become my favorite site of all the poker internet. Ah well...

I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I'm playing live at Lumiere Place casino in downtown St. Louis. I sure hope I feel better...
