Finally sold my energy position yesterday at a loss. Can’t believe XLE fell over 3% in one day! Thank goodness SHY’s dividend will help ease the pain. I suppose the news that they found more source of oil may have caused this recent downturn. In any case September-October is suppose to be historically bad months for the market. I’ll just sit in cash and international position and watch. So far international isn’t so hot either.
An attempt to recapture the Vegas feeling, I went back to Hustler and played a round of NL poker. Busted out my $50 buy-in in about an hour. Man, what a string of bad luck. I haven’t won since the eve of my birthday camping trip. When you’re not catching cards, you’re not catching cards. I was fairly content with how I played.
Playing Texas Hold’em online for the past couple weeks (see previous post) has made me itching to play my next ring game. So last night I decided to see if I can catch a game with the usual suspects. Unfortunately almost everybody I play with is out of town. So I decided to do the next best thing. I called up Shon and we headed out to the Hustler Casino in
Gardena. For those who haven’t been, there isn’t any naked people parading around like a strip joint. Instead this is a premiere casino filled with tables and tables of card games. On most of these tables Texas Hold’em was the game of choice.
For a $50 buy-in you’re on a $1/$2 No Limit Texas Hold’em table. Of course there was a huge waiting line. Because of this huge waiting list, they decided to open up a new table for us. This was great because I hate to step into a game with only $50 while everybody else is stacked up from hours and hours of play. So after 3 hours of grinding it out I walk away up $41. Not bad for a first time No Limit casino virgin!
