It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Why oh why did I ever leave you..
So i re-deposited to pacific and played for a couple of hours.. +244.45
However i lost my $60 deposit for a casino bonus, which kinda sucks, but i knew it was high variance going in. Hopefully the others I try will have more succesful results.
Anyway May is coming to an end and i'm up about $2200 for this month. Considering the amount of days I took off and the amount of time i spent playing low-limit stud basically breaking even, I think this is a good result. If I were to go pro, $2,200/mth is probably the minimum I would need to make to live comfortably, all things considered.
I'm having an early night tonight as i'm pretty worn out from poker and other things, and it's been a long long time since i've had a 'normal' night's sleep. I'm going into uni tomorrow most likely just to meet up with some friends, there's a very high likelyhood that I won't be going to any classes.

So there's a 10/20 LO8 game going at Pacific again and I decide to sit in, it has 2 of my favourite donks playing.
First hand at the table. I get![[3d]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/3d.gif "The Three of Diamonds")
[7h[ ![[8d]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8d.gif "The Eight of Diamonds")
![[9h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9h.gif "The Nine of Hearts")
in the BB and there are 7 limpers to me or something, I check.
Flop is![[4c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/4c.gif "The Four of Clubs")
![[5h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/5h.gif "The Five of Hearts")
![[6c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/6c.gif "The Six of Clubs")
and the SB bets, I call, it goes something like call-raise-call-raise-call-call and I call, everyone else calls, Flop is capped with 7 to the turn.
The turn is the beautiful![[Kd]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kd.gif "The King of Diamonds")
and it goes check, check, bet-call-call-raise-call-call and I call, it eventually gets capped and everyone calls. 7 to the river.
River is another K and it's checked to the guy to my left who bets, everyone calls and I do since i'm getting like 294621947519846219497124:1 and just MAY be ahead.
I figure with THAT many callers, a lot of them would have clubs, and even up against another 78 I'm 7-way to win 1/4 of the pot. Bahhhhhhhhhh.

Well I just put in a very nice session at PR and Interpoker. I won 39GBPs at interpoker +$4 in bonus. Made $48 at PR with $10.80 in bonus.
My interpoker play was mostly stud and my PR play mostly NL200. A couple of NL200 hands:
PF call was tilt-induced:
AND HAMMER ROY HE DID!: Well not really cause he was a shorty but eh.
This hand was fun:
Is re-raising PF here too much of a 6maxey move?:
Session total: 143.90
Basically even for the day =) Gonna hopefully hit up some casino bonuses tonight as well as finish off the last 100 or so PR points and get my money out of there. Will leave Interpoker for another day.

F[]ck the bonusiiiiii. Pacifish - you must return to Pacifish. I was running at around 10PTBB/100 there, and even after a series of bad beats I'm still at 7.

When I play a patient and relaxed game I win - that simple.

Yeah i'm starting to agree - but i think rather than playing there fulltime i'll have a couple of nl200 tables going whenever there is one and the rest i'll play at tribeca/cryptos or something.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.
