What the dealer told me at Rama, and ROR!!!!

I played the Mookie hot on the heels of going deep in the 16k, and busted out when I slowplayed a flopped set of aces and allowed PresDLee to catch his straight on the turn. I'll admit, I caught some good cards in the Mookie, and even when Al got a lot of my stack when he called my draw raise with his JJ, I was able to chip back up again.
I felt solid, aggressive, kicking ass! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And then the pocket aces came, and I went.
I looked at my screen and remembered what the dealer at Casino Rama said when I scored a few major pots in a row: Don't play the rush.
And by all that's holy, don't slowplay aces!

Played the Dookie after an aborted attempt to do something else with my evening ... I think I could get addicted to PLO, which would be a bad thing as I play like shit. I bonked out somewhere in the middle of the Dookie and then jumped in on a cash PLO table with Riggstad, MillerD33, PokerEnthusiast, CK, and Joanada. I proceeded to drink a martini, thinking that might help the game if only for the numbing effect (it did). Somehow I ended up about where I started, but I wouldn't have cared if I busted as the chat was worth it's weight in rubies. Or maybe sirverr or gord, ROR!
OK, maybe you had to be there.
I played a few pushfests which I personally think are fun as hell if only for the chance to infuriate the non-blogger players who think it's quite rude to go all-in every hand. I call it payback and therapy, personally. Miracle of miracles, I won the first one which added a nice boost to the bankroll, and Donkette won the second.
Holy crap it's 2:30 am and the party has just wound down. If this madness keeps on (and I hope and pray that it will), Thursdays are going to be very ugly when I get back to work. Methinks there will be lots of work periods.
Tomorrow should be a fun day. I have to run around to the Ministry of Transportation offices as it appears that the motorcycle portion of my drivers license expired in 2003. How could I not know that, you ask? Because the government didn't know it, and sent no renewals. And yes, I had renewed my regular drivers license in that period and the system missed it. Fucking graduated licensing system. So now I have to start from the beginning....written test, and two road tests. Yay.
