Update: Mr. Trip Aces turned out to be a calling station of the first order. By the end of Level 3, he had blown more than 2/3rds of his stack. If he paid to see the flop, he stayed until the river, regardless. And he saw a lot of flops. I mean, he could have posted "away and fold," come back in 40 minutes and been in the money. Never underestimate the retardedness of your typical Party Poker player.

For the record, I pulled a second and, get this, am now up a dollar--a single, a buck--for the week. Now, I know this arbitrary weekly accounting doesn't paint an adequate picture. Life is one big poker session, and all that. But I'm the guy who balances his checkbook three times a week. I'm the guy who calculates pot odds when playing nickel-dime-quarter with his family. And I'm the guy who needs to know how far up or down far down I am at any given moment.

But I'm working on it.
