Put in a graveyard session and played extremely well except for one pretty bad donk off which ruined a nice overall time. I limp with KK UTG, 1 person raises 3 X BB, 1 caller, BB (a solid non tricky player) pops it to 10.00 and I decided to just call. In retrospect I am still happy with the call although it pretty much gives my hand away I suppose but I really put him on QQ after an early raiser and a caller who potentially had an ace or two killed. My thoughts were if it came a low flop perhaps I could get his stack with QQ and I really feel like he would have folded preflop if I had repopped because I have played alot with this player and I think he would have respected my reraise enough to let go of the hand, maybe not. Bad news the flop comes QJx and for some unknown reason I manage to raise his flop bet to put him all in when there is virtually no way that I can be ahead here. He of course has QQ and good bye stack.

A couple of hands from the session.

First one was a hand I decided to play back with because the phucker had raised my BB 3 X in a row and I just ain't allowing that shit to happen without punching back regardless of what hand I have. As Doyle says there isn't a man alive that is going to keep pounding on me because me and him are fixing to play a pot or something along those lines. Had to suck it up and gut out that third barrel here but took it down

Had a real solid morning session with the 50 NL boys and girls at Party. Only really two big hands during the session. I believe my NL game is as solid now as it has ever been. I have still had a couple of inexcusable donk offs in the last week or so but for the most part just good solid reads and small pot poker getting the job done. Folded top two on the flop this morning. I'll post the hand below to see what you guys think. OOP I just didn't want to get involved with a scary flop like that and I also had two initial callers of my bet behind me that could very well come alive here so I opted out.
