The plan to change my schedule was just a moderate success, at best. I woke up at 2 pm today. I go to my computer and check my IM's and see one from Re-bet saying he busted on UltimateBet.
We get on the phone and I find out he's not actually busted, he has like $40 on there. I'm like, that makes all the difference! Empires have been created from less. So like a good friend, I offer to help him get healthy again by playing him heads-up in some of the obscure poker games featured on UB. One of those games is A-5 Triple Draw, which I have played only once, in a dealer's choice home game, and the rules of which I don't even remember.
Well, I must have won about the first 15 hands. It was pretty sick. I got dealt a pat A-5 as my starting hand one time and got paid off. Finally I had to hit the "Sit Out" button cause I was laughing so hard. There is no way to evaluate my triple draw game based on that session, because the deck completely hit me in the face. I could have been playing anybody in the world and it wouldn't have mattered. In a way it's annoying cause I wish that would happen when I'm playing a live $2-5 NL game instead of when I'm playing a friend for kicks at micro-stakes triple draw. Anyway, we stopped while he still had some money, and I am glad to say he is now up to over $300 on UB.
