Distraction Needed

Well, the mountain continues to be good to TheTrooper97. I have now won 8 days in a row. Last night had the potential to be a loser, but in the end I pulled out ahead by $350. It just doesn't matter how long one goes without playing a hand, when the chips go in, there always seems to be somebody to call.

Today, I'm feeling anxious. I got up early and left the hotel with Floppy McBluff and company and we hit the poker room for a few hours. I enjoyed having those two around yesterday as I was getting a little lonely up here, but now they are gone and I'm on my own once again. I shouldn't complain, what with all the winning going on, but honestly I'm getting depressed. This may all be taken care of very soon, but today I'm freaking out a little. I drove down to Asheville to clear my head and I'm at Starbucks now. But maybe I just need to get back up there and get into a game. Poker seems to be the only thing keeping me together at the moment. Otherwise I'm beginning to fall apart. Hopefully I can keep it together for just a little longer.

I do have a complaint about Cherokee. They have a rule against the use of any electronic devices at the tables. I don't know the real reason, all I know is that it sucks. I really need my iPod and if you ever play up here you'll see why. To listen to these people speak is like taking a very sharp knife right in the ear. Add to that the continuous, mannerless chomping of ice and I just can't take much more. I took the iPod in a couple times with the intention of plugging in and pulling up a hood, but I haven't tried it yet. The worst thing is listening to the regulars talk. I won't even go into it, but they are dumb as hell. Simple is the word. I mean, the winners in this room are horrible players. It's really hard to describe. I think it's because poker is so young in Cherokee, but I'm not sure. And this is why I'm crushing the game, I just don't want to listen to them the entire time. Obviously my priorities are straight since I'm still playing, I just wish I could go inside the iPod for some of the time.

Anyway, this update is a little empty, but I just wanted to type a little soemthing out and try to forget why I'm plumeting into depression at the moment. I shall be cautious when I get back into a game later. If things don't seem to be going well I'll consider my mood and maybe call it an early night. I'm even for the day so far by the way.

Well, wish me luck. I'm trying to grow a brand new roll here.
