A funny thing happened over the weekend, I won back everything I lost earlier in the week plus a few dollars. Funny thing though, it was through horse-betting instead of poker. I won race 11 and 12 at Pimlico. Race 12 was the Preakness and my 12-1 came in. It was a shame to watch what happened to Barbaro, but that is what makes horse racing so intense. Horse-racing takes an emotional toll like no other sport because of the humanization of these beautiful creatures.

I made most of my money back from the Preakness, but I did cash in a 1,314 person poker tournament. I like to play these as they help me work on patience. I also won in a few ring games. As I was winning in those, I could feel my mojo working, whereas last week as I was losing, I didn't "feel" it.
