Come back to the Party Zone

Party Poker is sooo my favorite site. Party was my first, so that could be a factor. I seem to always have a soft spot for the first at anything. Plus, I enjoy the enviroment, the Avatars, the chat, and the games. But in order to improve my profits, I have been trying Titan..and yes..made more money on Titan..hate the environment, the Avatars, the chat, and more.

So today, it felt good to go back home to Party. I didn't end up winning, but it was such an enjoyable time just playing poker and having fun. Below are some of the highlights...

First hand on my limit game (I cut out the folds and meaningless crap):

On another subject...PokerStars..was very disappointing..apparently, I am not worthy to play in the Blogger Tournament..see email below:

Hello,
I apologize, but after checking your blog, we have found it does not
fit
our tournament guidelines of being two months old.

We plan on making this a yearly event, so if you maintain your blog
regularly, you will be able to play in the event next and the years
that
follow. We plan on making the event even bigger!

Thanks and Good Luck at the tables wherever you play!
Sincerely,
Ryan at PokerStars

For those of you interested in the next 20 things...stay tuned..they will come...
