Louisiana report

Last weekend I took a road trip to Isle of Capri with all my home game friends for my bachelors party. I'll skip all of the details and just say that I came back with about $500 profit.

But what I really wanted to note was the difference between this trip and the one other time I went to Isle, which was the only other time I'd been in a casino. The main difference being how completely comfortable I was sitting at the 2/4 NL and 5/5 NL tables. Even though I haven't put $200-400 down on one table in a LONG time, I still felt like I was in control and was able to play my game.

The first time I went I was still fairly new to poker and I don't remember where I had gotten my $ to play with but I was definitely nervous. I ended that trip $150, so so far I'm up 2 out of 2 trips!

I will say now the hard part about coming back from a trip like that is not taking the micro sessions quite as seriously online now. But I think I'll get over that soon enough. I'm not about to forget bankroll management just because I won some nice dough live. Besides all that profit and the money used to make it is going into the wedding costs. Also it will be some nice spending cash on my honeymoon next month. :)
