Suprisingly, UTG actually had slightly higher equity with his 98s than SB did with his cowboys -

That one hand was enough to turn what had been a >1 BI losing day into a winning one.

Ok, this is strange - I'm disappointed that I only won $292 today - perhaps because I had been up over $400 after my first couple of sessions.

My "revenge is a dish best served with lots of chips" hand (HH is messed up a little, but the action is correct) -

This was the same villain who sucked out earlier when I flopped a set with 88 against his AA (all-in on flop) and he turned an Ace.

One way that I've been running good that will never show up in any stats - in the last 3 days, I've had KK vs AA twice and AA vs KK once. The two times I had KK it was against players with less than 75BB. The one time I had the Aces, I had 150BB and the player with KK had me covered...

Holy shit...please tell me who the SB is?

Its hard to tell how bad he played since it shows ytou check raising the turn which you cant do as the BB....but anyway...Im gonna guess its "ahnumber" or whatever thats guys name is.

Note to self: don't try playing poker when your head is all stuffed up with allergies...

Anybody have a puppy I can borrow for a few minutes? I promise to return the remains.

Except that the stupid puppy would probably shove his flush draw and hit just like everyone else


EP9 - don't know if you read my journal, but if you have any happy-smiley YouTube videos that could make me laugh, this would be a very good time for them.

Ok, that was fun...

My run at the $200's so far -

I'd been waiting for 2 hours to get into a big pot with this twit - the biggest fish I'd run into in a long time. Winning this hand would have almost completed a comeback from a 5 BI hole I had been in at one point today. I hate Cake. I hate Cake. I hate poker. I hate Cake. f*cking 4 times the stupid site gives me AA and someone else a set. I hate Cake. I hate Cake.

Oh yeah, one more thing - did I mention I hate Cake?

Well, I think I've stopped the bleeding from last week. I haven't made it all up yet, but I am up a little this week, so that's good.

The BR would have been back over $5k if the cards had cooperated - had a fish set up perfectly, got him all in drawing thin, and whamo!

First, the setup hand -

He showed KQo for the re-bluff. Big mistake on his part, but at least he knows I can bluff c/r a paired flop.

Now, the hand I was setting him up for -
