Played online for the first time in over a year. Funny, I was actually feeling really nervous like it was my first time playing cards for real money, even though I was just playing $.50/$1 NL to experiment with a loose-aggressive style. Played two tables on Intertops for about an hour and made $175. I guess I was lucky cause I had nothing but air a lot of the time but nobody ever played back at me except one time and that was when I had the nuts.
I also got unlucky in a uniquely online way. While I was playing I started up my iTunes program, and it slowed down my computer, temporarily freezing poker. I heard the beep alerting me it was my turn to act but I couldn't click on the table. Finally I saw my pocket jacks on the button in an unraised pot. I measured a raise and hit click at the exact moment my hand was automucked. Flop comes AJ6 rainbow and all hell breaks loose with bets, calls, and checkraises.
My screenname is Highwaytime but I am thinking of playing under the only other screenname I have used: El Hajjh. He is from Marrakesh, Morocco and when he draws out on you he makes pronouncements in player chat like, "I have yet to show my true power," and, "That is why I am man from Marrakesh."
I'll have to mull that over. It's a complicated issue.
So tomorrow Todd is getting into town and I'll probably play a long session at Aladdin. In the meantime, fillmaff must be a genius cause he can win with the worst hand in no limit holdem.
