Time for Tunica

The $5k in Tunica is about to start here in a few minutes. I got in last night just in time to watch the Super Bowl in which I lost all four bets I had. There's something very funny about the poker world, from my perspective. You travel around to all these places and see so many of the same faces, but everyone seems so distant from each other. When I was in skydiving, this was not the case. All the familiar faces you'd bump into at conventions on the road seemed like lifelong friends even if you had only met them once or twice. In poker, it's as if everyone is afraid to make eye contact with you. Like as if you're going to check-raise them in the hallway if they glance at you with a smile. There's something awfully sad and lonely about that, I think. But hey, I guess we are all out here after each other's money in the end. Right?

To be sure, it's not like this everywhere with everyone. There are plenty of really nice people out here too. On that note, time to head across the street and see if I remember how to play this game.
