Colorful
Fear the blue.
I saddled up for a little online poker last night. I didn't really have any goals in mind, just signed on to see what was up. Full Tilt was running a bunch of satellites and super satellites to the miniFTOPS series. Those looked amusing - most buyins under two bucks.
I do not run good at the donkaments.
My favorite red professional fish was sitting at a high-ish level deep stacked full ring PLO table, and even though a full buyin would have been more than half of my play chip roll I had to sit. The only way to find out if they've gotten better is to get in there and play. I also popped up a lower level table and had a total of four lovely windows of poker splashed across my screen.
Until Windows took a dump, of course.
I should have seen it coming. The laptop was running very slowly and it was getting worse. Still, you can never predict the exact moment you're going to get the blue screen of death. Not good times.
The annoying part is that it takes about 15 minutes for the stupid thing to reboot, and I have to wait until everything gets going so I can manually kill a program that I can't seem to uninstall and which screws up my internets access.
By the time I got back my friend had left. So I hung around anyway, hit a huge wrap draw (but didn't get paid on the river) which was enough to make it a winning night.
Later I ended up at another table with a "red pro" I didn't recognize, "Mandy B". I had to look up her biography on the FTP website, and I still have no idea who she is. Might be the tightest PLO dabbler out there, though.
Aside from the major malfunction, it was a pleasant session. No Riverchasers event for me and I'm not likely to get home in time to play the Skilzzzzz Series tonight, so it may be a while before I get to do it again. Good luck and idiot out.
