Anyone know how to analyze dreams?

I did a paper once on dreams and what they may mean a long, LONG time ago, but I’m stumped on this one.

So I’m living in a post-apocalyptic world, where there’s just a handful of people left alive.  Pets survived, for some reason.  Even though there’s hardly anyone left, I still have a roommate.  He’s Mr. Kotter, fromthe old sitcom “Welcome Back Kotter.”  I’m not talking about Gabe Kaplan, the guy who played him and is now a poker player/commentator – I mean 70’s era Mr. Kotter, complete with curly ‘fro and mustache:

 

 On top of this, I own a couple cats.  One was this fat, white blob of a thing.  I never let it inside the house, though, because she had fleas.  I’m guessing flea collars were raided early from stores once the bombs hit.  I went over to visit my girlfriend, who lived in a barn, and hang out.  Mr. Kotter then walked in…at this point, I realized that my girlfriend was Mr. Kotter’s ex-wife, and although they had a relatively clean break, it was still awkward.  I asked him if he fed the cat, and he said he did…and then he sat down in a chair near us.  Total cock-blocker.

Anyone want to analyze that?

It’s Filler-time! (poker rambling)

For all of the 2 people that read this, one of my hobbies that I enjoy is playing poker.  I started a few years ago, when the “poker boom” hit shortly after Chris Moneymaker donked his way to a 2003 WSOP Main Event title.  I figured that, since I live in PA and have no easy access to a casino, I’d try online poker.  I tried out this site that I heard of – Pokerroom.com.  (Blogger’s note – the place has since become a cesspool that not only doesn’t allow americans, but has stolen money from customer accounts – do NOT give them a dime)I played around with play money, as I was way too cautious to just jump into money games, and learned the basics.  I made myself wait before I deposited – my theory was that until I could actually win money in a freeroll, I wasn’t even going to try to deposit.  I finally improved to the point where I won a free $10, so I deposited another $25.  That was the last deposit I ever needed to make on that site.

I know I’m still getting better, and the better that I get, the more I realize how far I have to go to be on par with any of the people that make a living on this game.  I have the utmost respect for these people, as I never realized how much dedication and study it takes to elevate your game to that point.  I can squeak out a constant profit, but I play at micro stakes, so while I’m in the positive, it ain’t nothing to write home about….even though I’m at home and writing about it…ignore that.

For anyone that cares, I’ll post my stats.  Since the americans that play have few choices in where to go, I now play primarily at Full Tilt, with the occasional game at pokerstars.  Here are my multi-table tournament (MTT) results from FT:

See what I mean?  Nothing major, but it’s nice to have my hobby pay for itself.  Here are my Sit and Go (tournaments with no start time – they start as soon as they fill up…either 9, 18, 45, or 90-person tournies) results…I’ll include my names from other sites as well (click the pic to enlarge):

The column “Network” tells you where I played under that particular name.  Ongame was the network I started out on.  The ROI is “return on investment” and is probably the most important stat.  My ROI was higher at Ongame sites…I think because the players were weaker back when the casual american was able to play easily.  I’m still a winning player, but it just seems a lot tougher to get ahead.  I’ve had a pretty good month, though.  In the span of 2 weeks, I’ve increased my bankroll from $190 to $265 on Full Tilt.  Since I play mostly in $1-$2 tournaments, that’s significant.  I know I’m good enough to play at a higher limit, but I feel more comfortable where I am and would HATE to redeposit.  I take pride in not having to start over with my bankrolls at sites, so I take way fewer risks than most players.  I’m sure that trait will keep me from ever being a big winner, but it will also keep me from being a big loser.
