Thanks CBAT. U2

First week of August was profitable. Up about 4.5 BI's over about 3000 hands. Felt crazy up and down though. In my first session I had AA 4 times, KK 6 times, and QQ twice. I won one big pot, a couple small ones, and the rest got coolered or sucked out on. It was a very frustrating start to August. Things came around, and I just decided not to force the issue, and let the cards fall where they may. Been kinda crazy.

Big Loser of the week (Same day)

This guy was the table target, playing 54/22 and bluffing/spewing EVERYWHERE. I thought even my Q-high might've been good. I figured at best he had Top pair, giving me 19! outs on the flop, shoulda pushed myself there, but I thought I could stop and go to the turn...That didn't work, and I hesitated to call on the turn, but it really felt like a good call against this guy...I'll get him next time.

Wow has it been raining up here for the last couple weeks. I'm ready for the sun to come out again! Planning on going to FunTown this weekend (an amusement park) so the rain better freakin stay away! Not much else new on the homefront, I'll be a single parent for a little while starting on Wednesday. This should be interesting!
