Man I play good when i run good. Went back to cake with my new screenname (loldonkaments) and decided to jump in a juicy thre handed 8/16 game even though the plan was to grind the roll back up to 5k playing 5/10. Then the same guys wanted to play 10/20 so i gladly obliged. Tassent joined that table and i pinched a few pots off him with 87th level thinking now that i know his style. cake

8/16: + 1375
10/20: + 410
Total: +1785

Bankroll is back up to a respectable 6k with another 2k coming in rb in a week.

Yeah the Stox book should be interesting. Will look forward to your opinion on it.

Went back to cake for another session. Started with 8/16 and 10/20. Lost about 100ish at the 8/16 and the 10/20 was kinda nitty - eked out a $40ish win there. Then good ole MK informs me that the 20/40 game looked good so I sat in it in the seat to Tassent's left. What i didnt know at the time was the guy to my left was the most godawful of godawful mizors in the history of LHE. Annyway, spent like half an hour just floating up and down mostly bullying Tassent and stealing some blinds etc. Made a couple of nice hands against the mizor but donated the winnings back to him stationing with A high and third pair etc. There was also one sick sick hand where i ran a mizorly bluff against Tassent threebetting the turn and he called me down with A high with A5s and took it down. I dunno if my image was really that bad or if he was just sick of being pushed around.

At any rate, after about 45minutes - 1 hr of play i was up about 300ish. In the meantime, mizor was getting real frustrated and any semblance of sense in his play was rapidly disappearing. Then these two hands happened in the space of about 10 hands.

(kudos to mk for calling this hand on the flop without knowing my cards)

(esp proud of second one)

After this he basically lost it and started capping with everything. Put him out of his misery shortly therafter, which left Tassent, self and another weak player. Tassent, that bunghole then switched seats to get position on me. And like a champ i got up switch again, and the mizors left while i was up. In retrospect, foolish of me to get up since you want the tight guy to your left and the weak passive one to your right when its 3 handed.

Annyway, excellent session and excellent day. +1080 at the 20/40. cake

Ugh. Sat in a 20/40 game cause i'm optimistic like that. One real horrible player, one solid, and two straightforwardish. Ran cold, and made some very ill advised bluffs early on. Ignored my horrible image and continued to try and play LAG and got destroyed by the horrible guy and the mizor and found myself 1400 in the hole. Wisened up and battled back to 350 down but then took a couple of horrible beats, lost a hand with a str8 flushdraw that didnt get there against 44 stationed, tilted for one hand, and quit immediately at -1050ish. Just wasnt motivated to continue at that point.

Bah. Why cant i just run good.

Got brutalized playing 8/16 5 handed by mizor called uknow2much and another nit. Didnt tilt though, which allowed me to claw my way back up from -600 to -180. Played some 10/20 HU against FNDFND and things went according to plan there.

8/16: -180
10:20: +760
net: +580
