Good news

At lease someone's enjoying themselves

Didn't play much today until late because after talking to some of the BTP'ers here it was apparent the bad luck monster was out roaming the village again. So I just bought a 1 day membership to Cardrunners and watched videos all day long as it is too snowy to go do anything and I had no interest in the superbowl.
BUT, I couldn't just not play at all so before I called it a day I decided to fire up 4 tables at FT and play a short 20 minute session. Course, the only reason I played only 20 minutes was because the badluck monster hadn't come got me yet and I thought it'd be tite to quit while I was still making $217 an hour. So, after 3 days of the month gone by and about 1k hands played, I am still running at $99 per hour. Hopefully that number is still above 0 when the 29th is over.
Anyways, as I like to post graphs, here is todays.

And for the month so far.



Along with a nice suck out to spice things up! Sux to be you dude!

Twelvers right Pok. They don't tell you that up front, or at least make it easily known, so I was thinking I could just DL them and watch them later like you are talking about. But after I paid me monies I found out that I had to stream them which gave me a good reason not to watch the Chowderbowl as I wanted to see quite a few of the videos regardless of whether or not I would be able to retain all the info in them.

SO I was runnin like ass tonight. Both bad luck and bad playing. I'm down about 3 buyins after 750 hands and not too happy about it so I decided to change up my play style and go real aggro (for me that is, not like Xas or GLR or Twelver) for a bit and hope that when folks got tired of it I would have a real hand. What do ya know, it worked to perfection. Wish I could count on it to do this every time. I'll recap the 6 hands leading up to the killing stroke.
I had almost 200 hands at this table so I a decent read on most everyone. I know I may not have played the first 6 hands to perfection but for the most part I played the way I did because of how I thought the other players would play. But it all worked out perfect in the end.

Hand 7:
The the biggest most prettiest pot I have yet to see slide my direction since I switched over to NL50. I bet he was pissed as hell. It's never fun losing a double stack you've worked so hard to get.

I suppose he "might" have donked off on this hand regardless, but I kinda think that if I had still been playing as tight as I was up til that last orbit, that my push would not have been as easy for him to call.
