Shoot Me, Please
This week hasn't gone well for me, but that's largely because I spent it playing poker. It's been another atrocious week of ring games, even at the kiddie tables, and my streak is now rounding the corner towards 100k hands. I know that's mathematically possible even with perfect play, but it has me feeling pretty bad. That's the worst thing about bad runs in poker I guess.
I'd expound on it more but I'm too busy coughing my nuts off. I was also going to go to the Boathouse Bash in Philly this weekend, but again, coughing my nuts off. I feel like someone stuck a pipe cleaner down my throat and no matter how hard I try I can't get rid of it. As much as I'd like to finally meet all of the bloggers I don't think they'd appreciate my gift of bronchitis, so I'll sit this one out. Hopefully there will be another one next year. And hopefully my hotel doesn't require a 24 hour cancellation notice.
I'll probably try to play the WCOOP tournaments today, since even after a whole bottle of prescription strength Robitussin I'd still have to be better at limit hold'em than these clowns. For some reason I thought the buy-in was $530 but it's only $215. Either way I expect it won't take long given the way I'm running.

I can definitely relate to the "coughing my nuts off" bit. I have been struck by the same bug for the last 4 days with little or no improvement in my condition. Try Musenex, it makes you cough more, but seems to be helping some. However, unlike your situation, missed hours at the poker tables is actually costing me money lol.

I had a cough/cold/flu/malaria (alright.. not malaria) for 6 weeks. I've only just got rid of it.. and it's totally ruined my game. So my advice is to take it easy, rest, relax and get better as quickly as possible. I didn't, and even though I'm well again - I'm still suffering.
