Cards.
I played in a seven way ¥2000 hold-em limit / no-limit tournament on Sunday night. It was frustrating.
I won't go into a play by play, but three of the players were fratt-y types that spent their rounds stacking beercans, telling lewd jokes and sending their girlfriends off to the bathroom to take photographs of herself with their cellphone cameras. Two of the other players were drunk as the lord and completely unpredictable. Drunks deal slowly and with poor card control.
Play commenced at 7:30pm. I took the scalp of the third place player at around midnight. The remaining heads-up game went to 50/100 no-limit and ground on for a full hour more of very conservative play before I offered a compromise of splitting the pot between us and just ending the game, which I am very greatful my opponent accepted. My share ended up being ¥6000... while this is my first tournament "victory" and I'm happy about that, the profit / hour ratio was pretty bad for such a frustrating game. ;-)
