Quick day 2

Well after making it to day 2, I had a small chip stack, and
after pushing all in once early and picking up the blinds,
i bought one more lap of the table. Unfortunately the
blinds went up, and A-3 suited in medium-early position
was good enuff to make a move. Pocket Ks on the button,
strangely enuff decided to move all in as well. And although
the 2nd card of the deck was an Ace, the 3rd card was a king,
allowing for the shortest celebration possible. The board
paired on the turn giving me 2 Aces to hit on the river, which
didnt come. So after cashing for 4k, i then found out i was
taxed 30%, what a kick in the pants! I might be able
to get it back one day, however. I need to consider
getting another nationality passport so i can avoid this
stupidness. Perhaps Tunisia..

Had some drinks after and played some blackjack which
seems to be more profitable.

Today (fridaY), i decided to take the day off, and play some
online cash games (25-50NL), which are tax free. Unfortunately
I was better off sleeping in and lost 10k. I played one
or two hands badly, but other than that I played pretty good.
Lost a 7k pot with Ks to AK, and didnt hit a set etc
and had Qs against set etc.

And lost some money playing Omaha online as well, but
definately on the end of some not so good luck.

Tonight is Seinfeld (stand up show) at Caesars, and tomorrow
is the $1500 NL event , which is a bit of a crapshoot.

On a side note, quite a few poker players seem to have attention
deficit disorder. Is ADD contagious ?
