Iceman, thanks for the advice.

I took a couple of days off from poker and came back tonight feeling fresh.

I made a couple of huge overbets to make them look like bluffs, and got called once. (KJ) on board of KKAxK got called (quads paid off!), and (88) on board of 8TQAx did not. (I was out of position and went for the slowplay because of his large PF raise, but he didn't bet enough.)

I also got all my money in preflop with AA, caught 3 callers (1 full stack, 2 shortstacks). Won that one too.

So in all of 15 minutes of play tonight, I am up more than 3 buy-ins. It's only 30 bucks, but being 10 ahead sure feels a helluva lot better than being 20 down on this site.

The flush chasers at Prima were killing me on the river last night. Seemed like the flushes were hitting more the usual.

It was the night of a thousand flushes at party last night, too.

Oh, my God, I stopped playing at Party and Prima because I couldn't handle all the damned passive river rats who keep calling raises and then nail their low flushes and gutshot straights. Some have the tolerance for it and can beat those games in the long run. But they put me on major tilt every time.
