I stopped in SF overnight at a friend's place, and we went to this thing called "unsilent night", where a whole bunch of people bring boomboxes and this guy hands out tapes that everyone plays synchronously as they walk around the city in a big group. Apparently this dude, Phil Kline, does it in a bunch of cities around Christmastime. So that was pretty interesting, and there were probably 600 people or so there.

I played a bit at the $.40/.80 deep stack 6 max tables today at FTP. It's pretty nice not to have 3 guys at the table with 10 big blinds. I donked off $60 early trying to get a guy off a weak hand, but I recovered and ended down ten cents. The play was really weak so I ended up at 28/20 instead of my usual 24/10.
I think I need to work on my river bet sizing. If I have a strong hand I usually just pot it the whole way, but I think I'm missing some value to river folds. The guy here had $33.xx left, maybe I should have bet $18 or $20.

I've made the NL switch and have been playing a little $25NL on Full Tilt and some $40NL up at Ocean's 11. It's gone pretty smoothly -- kind of hard to not do well at these levels. I spent a bunch of time hacking together my limit AutoHotkey script with someone else's "bet pot" script and a rebuy script so I can easily play several tables of NL with just a few taps on the keyboard.
I've played in the Saturday tourney at O11 a few more times but nothing has really come of it. They have a new Sunday $90+10 tourney that I may check out.

T25 blind, very first hand so everyone has T2500, I fold UTG. Player behind me raises to T75, MP calls and BB calls.
Flop is
[6d][6h]. BB checks, PF raiser bets T100, MP calls, BB checkraises to T300. What could she possibly have? Raiser calls, MP calls.Turn is
![[7d]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/7d.gif "The Seven of Diamonds")
. BB bets T300, Raiser pushes his T2125 stack, MP thinks awhile and folds, BB calls. BB has 56o, Raiser has [Jd]. River blanks and Raiser is out. Well played sir.Couple hands later, T25 blind, I am on the button with T2475. A bunch of people limp, I have KQo and limp, BB checks. 5 players to the flop.
Flop is
[Kc][6d]. Everyone checks to me, so I bet out T100. EP limper calls, everyone else folds. I'm thinking he has a weak ace or a KJ KT type of hand.Turn is
![[7s]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/7s.gif "The Seven of Spades")
. EP checks, I bet out T200, EP calls pretty quickly. OK, I'm definitely checking down the river.River is
![[Qd]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qd.gif "The Queen of Diamonds")
. EP checks, I change my plan with two pair and bet T400, and EP checkraises to T900. I call, EP shows A7. Damn.T25/T25 blinds, I pick up QQ UTG. A couple hands ago someone raised to T200 and got 4 callers, so I try T250 (T300 felt like too much). 3 callers. I've got T1050 left, so I'm basically pushing on any undercard flop.
Flop is
![[9d]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9d.gif "The Nine of Diamonds")
[6d][3h]. I push and the guy from last hand beats me into the pot. Everyone else folds, I flip over my queens, and he flips up... AJo! Man these people are bad. I dodge 3 outs and am up to T3000 or so.Then I go pretty card dead, get moved to another table where people are a little tighter and a couple big stacks are pushing the action.
T100/200, I'm in the SB with T2600 or so. Big stack limps in LP, I limp with
[6d], BB checks.Flop is
![[7c]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/7c.gif "The Seven of Clubs")
[6c][5d]. I bet T300, BB calls, and LP pushes all in. He has me covered, so I have to decide whether or not to call T2400 with top two. I have no idea how this guys plays since this is my fourth hand at the table. I eventually fold, BB folds, and LP doesn't show. Later on he did something similar with a set, but it's hard to know if this was a good laydown or not.I resume being card dead. Blinds go up to T200/400. I pass up a push when it folds to me in late MP with K5o. Probably should have gone for the blinds here.
T300/600 blinds, I'm in MP with T1800. Short stack who's really tight pushes for T1300, bigger stack who's not terrible raises to T4000. I have 88 and decide to lay it down. Short stack has AA and big stack has AT, and they end up chopping with broadway.
I fold trash until the blind comes to me, so I've got 1/3 of my stack in the BB. Short stack in MP pushes for T2600. I have K2 and call hoping my cards are live. He flips up AA and I'm done.
