I skipped my 9PM break since I took an extended break at 8. When I got up from the table at 10PM, I noticed that my notebook was gone! I asked the poker board person, and they hadn't seen it. I asked Security t ocall and see if someone turned it in.... nothing. Finally I asked the serving staff if they had picked it up. It turns out that I left it on one of the rolling tables for peoples drinks, and they happily rolled it away while I wasn't looking. I finally got my notebook back a little after 10.

By 11PM, I was back up to $1500.

My big pot: The 20/40 game has a half kill, so when a player wins 2 pots in a row, the stakes go up to 30/60. This was a half kill pot, and I was on the button with 5 7
5 players limp before action gets to me, so I throw a bet in to see the flop. the sb completes, and bb checks.

The flop comes 8 9 T ( 8SBs)
giving me a weak open ended draw.
The sb checks, UTG bets, 2 players call, I raise as a classic "free card" play. The sb 3 bets (crap) and everyone calls.

Turn is T giving me a flush draw, but making a full house possible. (11BBs)
sb bets, UTG calls, 2 fold, I raise- this is a debatable play. The raise is for value, with a straight draw and a flush draw, but I could make my hand and lose. sb 3 bets (also debabtable, you'll see) UTG folds, I call.

River is Q and I have my flush. (18 BBs)
sb bets, I raise, sb 3 bets, I call. I think a raise here was correct, but I am afraid of a 5 bet from a full house.

Final pot (24BBs) $1440
sb shows J 4 (a straight, queen high)
MHIG!!!

This game has turned crazy. One player has dropped almost $1000 betting, raising, and sometimes folding BLIND! I guarantee it would have been more if people noticed that he was doing it. I often try to watch people as they look at their cards t osee what i can pick up... which is the only reason I noticed.
There is a girl playing extrememy loose passive and winning, for now. so, I decide that I can stay a little longer.
