WinStar (May 30)

My triumphant return to the poker tables after being on a break for a couple of months resulted in a $250 loss.  It was a tough night, as it took me two-and-a-half hours to win my first pot.

There weren't many hands interesting enough to discuss, as I could hardly get past the flop with any of my holdings.  The only one worth mentioning is a bluff I lost with when I flopped second pair and bet it hard throughout the hand, losing about $90 total on the hand.  That was the biggest loss or win I had all night, so most of my pots were on the small side.

I played for five hours, equating to a $50 loss per hour rate.  Thus far for the year I have lost a total of $100 and played for 35 hours, amounting to losing $2.86 an hour.
