During one of my post-Thanksgiving illnesses in 2005, I didn't have the common sense to stop playing online poker at a time when I wasn't at my best.
I was unemployed and living in my parents' basement, having recently attained a bankroll I deemed sufficient to test the waters of the Party Poker 15/30 limit games. As I was sneezing, coughing and feeling terrible, I dropped about two-thirds of my roll over just a few days.
I learned the hard way that playing poker when sick is simply unprofitable.
With that experience in mind, I haven't sat at a table since I returned from Vegas on Sunday.
I still feel pretty crappy, but I like to imagine that I've saved thousands of dollars by making the smart choice. In the meantime, it's "Super Mario Galaxy" for me.

You should get an Xbox360 in your off-time!
You feeling any better yet?
I'm recovering. The cough is manageable, I'm back to work and I even played some hands yesterday. I'll be back in the full swing of things in no time.
