Poker Stars

After playing at Poker Stars for the past few months I started playing at FTP a bit more. I was experiencing some bad beats (probably bad plays by me) and just couldnt get anything going at Poker Stars. It has just been hard to motivate myself to play poker period. What I've really been jonesing to do is play some live tournament events.
To me nothing compares to playing live poker games. While my experience is extremely limited at live events I enjoy them so much more. It's hard to even find a decent home game around Jacksonville and I've been contimplating driving over to New Orleans to play some cards. I have a friend that works over there so I could probably hang out at the TPC golf course over there and play some cards and poker. It would be good times, and a lot better than playing the Poker Stars online tournaments.. The only thing holding me back right now is my car. I desperately need to get a new vehicle. Its not that I can't afford a new car I just really hate spending money on things that depreciate and a car is the ultimate crap hole investment. Although, one day I do want to purchase a dodge viper. Not a new Viper but the 2000 models. The newer models are a little too futuristic for me and I personally like the older styles better.
But anyways, I played Allen Cunningham at Full Tilt Poker the other day and I have to admit, it was the first time I've had fun playing at the poker table in a long time. Actually it was the first online poker table that I've sat down at where the people were acting civilized, which is hard to come by with all the dingbats who play internet poker now. It's like freak central these days.
Last night I was playing at Full Tilt Poker just for fun. I had $100 left over after I paid out some bloggers for ad spaces so I didnt want to cash out such a small amount so I played the heads up $100 NL Holdem table. I played for about an hour and took two peoples bank rolls and got mine own up to about $500. Then the boredom set in and I went to the $2/4 table and lost it all. Even though I knew I could bluff this one guy I kept trying because that's the only thing that excites me playing online poker anymore, trying to get away with stupid bluffs. That's why I don't play the $25/50 tables because I'd get bored and windling away my life savings.
