Project No Spending Money: Day 18
Today I spent $8 on food -- 2 dozen eggs, chicken, and tuna. I like the minimalist approach when it comes to food -- no junk food, juice, soda pop, or any of that junk.
Anyways, I hopped on the bus today, and after 3-4 hours of sitting and waiting, I finally got to play some poker. I bought in for $100, played very tight for 3-4 hours.
Just folding and folding, and playing 20 percent of the hands. My last hand of the night I got 2 pair on the turn, guy shoves all in with an over pair (AA). I instantly call with my two pair and the board paired up. I got counterfitted so bad. (I was a 75 percent favourite to win)
It ticked me off, and I was swearing all the way to the bus stop. Afterwards I laughed at myself because $100 I lose is very inconsequential to me, it's just that the guy got lucky on the river peeved me off. He wasn't even a good player, that guy was playing poker for the first time!
Total money spent today: $120 ($8 on food, $112 on poker and transportaton)
