When you play poker with 7 guys you've never played with before, it behooves you to be patient: it's important to get familiar with everyone's mannerisms and tendencies, while making aggressive moves only when you have the cards to back them up. Then as time goes on and you learn how people play, you can play a little looser and assert yourself. I did not do that tonight. I have been used to playing with 2 or 3 other players, not 7. The cards you can play in a 4-person game are a lot crappier than the ones you can play with 8 people. I was going in with 6-5 off-suit. Then I kept losing cause everyone had better cards. So I got frustrated and bet with even worse cards. Needless to say I was one of the first people out of the game. So I decided to make my first blog post since February 16th. I'm unstoppable.
