After a couple weeks that ...
started with losing 20% of my small-timer's bankroll in one evening,
proceeded with losing 11 SNG's in a row,
and continued with me scraping and clawing day after day to post additional losses or barely-mentionable gains equalling pennies-per-hour pay,
I finally had a turn around.

I got 2nd in an SNG and made good with a couple ring games, and am within $7 of my high-water mark with my bankroll.

I had to share this hand -- it wasn't my good play, but sure felt good anyway:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) converter

CO BIGstack ($30.70)
Button MustacheName ($8.40)
SB MediumStack ($12.85)
BB sadguy ($9.90)
ME ($10.90)
MP HangingInThere ($3.25)

Preflop:
ME calls $0.10, 1 fold, CO BIGstack calls $0.10, Button MustacheName raises to $0.40, SB MediumStack calls $0.35, BB sadguy calls $0.30, ME calls $0.30, CO BIGstack calls $0.30.

Flop: ($2) [3s], [Kc], [3c] (5 players)
MediumStack checks, sadguy bets $0.50, ME calls $0.50, BIGstack folds, MustacheName folds, MediumStack folds.

Turn: ($3) [3s], [Kc], [3c], [Ks] (2 players)
sadguy checks, ME bets $0.10, sadguy calls $0.10.

River: ($3.20) [3s], [Kc], [3c], [Ks], [6d] (2 players)
sadguy checks, ME bets $1.00, sadguy raises to $8.90, ME calls $7.90.

Final Pot: $21

Results in white below:
sadguy has Kh 6h (full house, kings full of sixes).
ME has 3h 3d (four of a kind, threes).
Outcome: ME wins $21.

sadguy said, "unreal"
sadguy said, "what a bunch of crap"
sadguy leaves the table
ME said, "yeah -- it's been a long time"





Only two hands better than sadguy's -- KK and MINE!

Thanks for listening.
