Nice man!!! Take a lesson from me, if I took out all the spew from my game in the last week I'd probably be up around $1700 now . That shit really hurts the roll. Isnt it cool to burst through $1k finally though . Seems like such a hurdle when you cant quite make it past for a while.


Hmm, broke one rule tonight. Planned to play 30 mins before bed, ended up playing a 2hr session. Tables were ok but not great. Man, I ran REALLY card dead. I think after 30 mins I was 3/3 and 10/6 on my two tables, having been dealt AK once, QK once and nothing else of note, not even a small PP. Overall it felt good though. I did a fairly good job keeping a lid on things. Probably on review played two or three hands bad, but even one of them wasnt that bad, and only lost about 1/2 a buyin all up. Sounds bad, but for 2 hrs I'll take that any day.

Main problem was hands just werent being paid. Never got a cent out of a set postflop, and for a long time there my 2 biggest wins were $15 and $11. Then again, I think I did a good job keeping my head and playing solid poker even though things werent flowing my way. Tables broke down so openned 2 more. Had a lucky suckout on one with TPGK+FD v's made low flush on flop improving to a FH with the board pairing twice for about 1/3 a stack. It was the other table that got interesting though. Finally hit a run of cards. I think 2nd hand I 3-bet btn open with AA and he folded. Then like 3 hands later I raised with AA in MP and he 3-bet me back. I 4-bet him hoping he had something good enough to come over my obvious overaggressive play, but no good. Went that way for a while with me showing a fair amount of aggression due to cards, but nothing being paid that well. Then I had these two hands 4 apart:

53/26 pretty terrible postflop.

Weee for bad table image!!!

That made it a +$89 session so even though the table looked good, I quit ahead. Embarrasingly this still left me down about $18 for the day, but it could definately be worse.
