My poker play has been getting better on the virtual felt. On the real tables though it has not been good. Really that is a misstatement. We played Friday night, and I had some great reads, but things did not go so well. Early on, I lost my stack when my overpair lost to 2-pair. I knew I was against 2 pair, but was pretty much committed. Later I pushed all in with pocket Jacks after a raise and a reraise. I figured I was ahead, and I was JJvs1010vs99. Tommy tanked for a bit and called, as did Dan and Tommy caught a 9 on the turn. Those were my 2 big beats. I also let Billy push me around a bit.

I have been losing weight. I dropped the 5 pounds that I wanted to by thanksgiving. Now, I would like to drop another 5 by Christmas so I can weigh 150. I should be able to get there.
