Wow the stars must have aligned for me as I managed small wins in every game I played today.

5 card draw +
HORSE +
PLO8 +
O8B +

June: -148.45

Well one of the few times I can say I played like shit and still managed to turn a small profit. Just donated a stack getting hard headed defending against a fucker that had just raised his sb versus my bb and then popped my SB from the button. So I see the powerhouse A7s and ram it into his AK, stupidity. Also managed to lose a half a stack with the old TPTK against a set when I suspected that is what he had but unfortunately I turned the nut flush draw and decided to go ahead and pay off on the river when I missed the flush. A couple of other suckouts with my QQ getting beat down by 47o and 87o respectively from the same guy in a span of 3 hands. Here is one of the hands that I think I played pretty well in the mix of shitty and mediocre play.

FR is ghey...

Damn what a session. Made some bonehead plays, some great reads and plays that did and didn't work but certainly was anything but a regular session. I am playing several more hands in position now which perhaps is leading to more post flop action but damn. Down 4 buy ins and back up 5 buy ins and down to even all in the span of 592 hands.

Won 7 winner take alls out of 55 so far but mother of god I have taken some stupid beats and ran fucking sick bad in quite a few of these damn things.
