Vomit Free Since 2003

Poker so far in August has been good over the very small amount of hands I've put in. Since I haven't posted a hand in forever here's one from today that while completely standard/uninteresting, does illustrate why you don't want to blow a fish off air:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (8 handed)
BB ($80)
UTG ($198)
UTG+1 ($275.60)
MP1 ($183)
MP2 ($200)
CO ($203)
Hero (Button) ($200)
SB ($200)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A♥, K♥
2 folds, MP1 bets $7, 2 folds, Hero raises to $24, 2 folds, MP1 calls $17

Flop: ($51) K♠, 5♠, 4♣ (2 players)
MP1 bets $25, Hero calls $25

Turn: ($101) 3♦ (2 players)
MP1 bets $45, Hero calls $45

River: ($191) 4♠ (2 players)
MP1 bets $89 (All-In), Hero calls $89

Total pot: $369 | Rake: $3

Results:
Hero had A♥, K♥ (two pair, Kings and fours).
MP1 had J♣, Q♦ (one pair, fours).
Outcome: Hero won $366

Got to maximize against the old no pair no draw.

My August volume so far has sucked because I've been sick. It's the first time I've been under the weather in over a year, and this morning I had the unfortunate experience of vomiting for the first time in ages. The post title may be off, the last time could well have been on 2005 or 2006, but regardless it's been a hell of a long time. Hopefully I can go another 5+ years without the feeling of partially digested orange juice and granola bar using my nose as an overflow valve.

The market crash of the past week has been a discouraging turn of events for my retirement portfolio, but since I imagine I won't be touching those funds for 10-30+ years, no big deal. The silver lining has been that the US dollar made up ~4%+ on the CDN dollar, which is big for me every time I withdraw. Hopefully it can pick up another 5-10 cents over the next few months.
