Hey, remember that poker challenge I was in a couple months ago?
Yeah, I finally went bust.
By the time the actual challenge was over, I had about $30 or so of the original $50 I was spotted, and I kept playing on-and-off until I finally ran out of money last week. I did learn a few things, though:
- I'm somewhat better at Omaha than Texas Hold 'Em;
- I tend to fall into the common trap of trying to win back a bad beat right away;
- I shouldn't play for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, because after that, I pretty much stop getting playable cards.
In other financial news, the Magic card collection sold for $54. My mistake was probably setting the minimum at $50. I didn't get any bids until there were less than two days left in the auction. I was beginning to hope nobody bid so I could relist it at a lower price and get some interest.
Oh well. At least they're gone.
