Quick Session

Well, after waking up from a great nights sleep at the Hilton I felt the desire to play a few hands of poker as a warm up for Austria. So, I grabbed a couple pieces of cold pizza and logged onto Pacific Poker to find a table. I looked down the list and was really tempted to sit down at a soft looking $50/100 table, but decided I didn't want to lose 3k and get cranky so I sat down at an even softer looking $15/30 table. First hand I post the blind and get the holy grail of all hands, AA. I three bet it heads up and my opponent caps the pot, I do a double fist pump and let out a "WOOT WOOT", the session starts off nicely with me picking up the first pot. I kind of go on a mini-rush and win about $500 in my first 10 minutes. My mom is watching "Tremors" in the back ground and is still giving me grief for spending $35 on a room service pizza so I lean back and say; "Mom, it's easy for me to spend $30 on a pizza when I wake up the next morning and make $500 in 10 minutes" :) She doesn't mind the jab and uses the opportunity to get me to agree to buy her a new dress in Salzburg. She's smarter than me and knows when to take advantage of my arrogance. Well, needless to say I immediately lose the next couple hands and am humbled once again. I fight back and forth for another 15 minutes before calling it quits up about $400. I need to get packed and head over to the United counter in O'Hare so I can change my return flight ticket. The trip starts off on a good note, poker-wise, sometimes everything comes up roses.
