The Well: SaltwaterChaffy

thanks for your insight, chaff.

btw, played a live 200 person tourney last night with tom mcavoy. he's out promoting a new book and had an appearance at the local poker room here in jax. sat at my table for 30 minutes. raised his small blind once and he meekly folded to my overwhelming power.

seemed like a nice enough guy. he only played 3 hands in 30 minutes. once he moved all in from utg and we all acted like we were calling blind (he had a 27" flat panel as a bounty). he laughed until his pocket 8's got called by AQo in the cut off. he survived. he was still in with about 65 left when i got knocked out due to me being a tight ass wimp, but that's another story.

where did you finish, peanut?

chaff, do you think of yourself as a spiritual person...and why or why not?

For a while I was one of those people who said I "wasn't religious, but I was spiritual." I think that's probably a BS response, so I don't say that anymore. Rather than spiritual, I'm probably just highly self-aware and introspective.

I was raised Southern Baptist, but it never clicked for me. I went through the motions until I was about 15, continued going to church to make my mother feel better until about 17, but couldn't force myself to do it any longer. I explored other religions for a while, but couldn't find anything that I really enjoyed. Most organized religion seems entirely too strict for me.

I try to live life in way that I deem is "right." Is my idea of what is right incorrect sometimes? Probably, but I'm willing to change it if I can recognize it. Do I stray from doing what I think is "right" sometimes? Of course, we all have our shortcomings. I simply try to be a good person.

Sorry I took so long to get to this one, but it obviously required a bit longer of an answer, which I hadn't had time to do/think about.
