Default A Ritual of Sorts

Well this losing has gone far enough. I need something to change my horrendous luck so I figure putting a flame to anything poker is as good an idea as any.

I plan on playing a long session Saturday. After the session (it could be 5 minutes because I might put a fist through the monitor) if I lose (or when I lose) I plan on conducting a bonfire in my backyard where everything poker related will be torched.

Poker magazines, poker books (that means you Harrington and Sklansky, and Doyle too [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]) as well as decks of cards, and poker chips (can you light those on fire?). All gone.

Oh, and you can't forget the Microsoft Word documents that I've printed.

Now minus confirming to my neighbors that I am a sick person and a huge freakshow I think this ritual will:

A) Cure my frustration for the time it is being conducted
B) Possibly change my luck down the road


Since I've been planning this for about 2 hours I want to do this right.

So far my ideas were to get an old school boombox and start the ritual by playing Prahlad Friedman's "Poker is Fun" as I walk from inside my house to outside the backyard with all the poker material in a big heap.

Then have an opening reading, probably AJFenix's famous "Improving your Poker" from SSNL/MSNL.

After that I am sort of a loss. I want to make this seance (sp?) meaningful and longer than me simply playing poker related songs and burning things.

I'd like to make it at least 20 minutes long...so that's why I need your help.

Give me ideas to make this as good as possible.

How have you made 6000+ posts without having the undertitle "Sucks at Poker"?

I don't know. I can't really change my title under my name but I clearly blow at poker so if a mod wants to put it feel free.

I've been like the worst regular on Stars cash games for about two years running.

I've done weirder things poker related and the neighbors already find me weird as [censored] based on other crap I've done because of poker.

After I lost an $800 pot at $1/2 like ten days ago AA vs KK all in preflop (I had AA obv.--a King came) I ran straight outside (I don't know why I did) and started dancing around singing "Oh ahh just a little bit Oh ahh a little bit more" for like 20 seconds when I realized my neighbor taking in laundry that was outside on the line.

I haven't looked over there since, it's too embarrassing.

Don't ask me why I ran outside but when I get a bad beat I get so excited nowadays that I almost root for it because it gets me so fired up.

Do you consider yourself to be 'poker related'?
