You playin stud on the cryptos?

-Jus

No, Jus. Stud has never been my game. I played a little Holdem on the Cryptos and found them to be just chock full of whacky Europeans...

Played for the bonus and just passed...

Horrendous day. Felt lousy, came home from work early, and got treated to this:

I've learnt the hard way to play $6 SnG's when I some home feeling 'lousy' (or even the $2 buy-in Omaha tables)

A good set of sessions today. Wife seems ready to bust, and I can expect to be a daddy any time now--but back to the poker:

3/6 LHE: 37 hands, +$4.00
5/10 LHE: 136 hands, +$160.00
$50 PLO: 65 hands, +$54.35

Total: 228 hands, +$218.35

My favorite hand? This one, clearly. It was one of those hands that you raise pre-flop, just for shits and giggles, then watch as it gets 3-bet and called (2 cold) and you just wonder what you were doing there in the first place.

Then you catch a flop like this, and--true story--my wife was walking in from the kitchen and all she hears me say is "Uh-oh--somebody's gonna lose a lot of money here, and it damn sure isn't me," followed by the evil giggle of the kid who's just pulled one over his parents' eyes:

Classic. I can hear it now, "NIHAN SIR!"

NIHAN SIR!

God bless MP1's everywhere. When do you think he might've thought he was beat in that hand?

Welcome to the world, honey...
