Unprofitable

I have decided that the 10/20 Limit game on Stars is pretty unprofitable. There are really not any BAD players at all, there are a few who aren't really good but most of the players play very profitably. I have been running bad in the game the last few days and it hasn't helped me play all that well, but I really don't think it will be a game that I will want to play consistently. I have ended up down about $1,300 which I am really pretty happy with. I probably need to exercise better discretion when it comes to table selection, so I don't plan on playing this game anymore.

A big fad here in Germany is playing Foosball at clubs, I have no idea why but the Germans seem to love it. So we went out last night to "Carpe Nachturne" and decided to get our "kicker" (as they refer to it) game in gear. We aren't very good at kicker, which makes it even more fun because the Germans take it VERY seriously and all seem to be world-class players. I teamed up with a guy named Jeff who played his college ball at Penn. We are both pretty bad but we were holding our own and celebrating excessively anytime we did something remotely positive. Chest bumps, high fives, and white-boy dance moves were common in between our rare goals. The Germans were very good so they didn't seemed to get mad at our antics, and it probably didn't hurt that I was the by far the smallest one in our group at 6'4, 220 lbs. We ended up getting beat three games in a row, so we had to drown our sorrows with some good German Lager.



I am taking off from Bonn on Friday to meet up with my good friend Anna in Regensburg. She says she has some fun plans for us over the weekend and mentioned something about spending Saturday in Munich. I'm looking forward to seeing some of Eastern Germany.
