Stop Wasting Everyone's Time

Texas Hold'em

Microsoft recently released Texas Hold'em for the XBox Live Arcade and I have been sucked in playing it to get the achievements. Got half of them already, will have to keep working on the rest. It's okay, I needed a break from Zombies anyway :-) Saint's

7 Card Stud

Well that went well. Decided to try a 7 Card Stud cash game when I got home from work. I got my stake up to $93 in an hour or so. I then took a break to get some work done and when I tried again later, I lost $15 and settled at $77 before I decided to

Succumbed to Online Poker Again
