glad to get out of that one

played a pretty long sesson and I'm just lucky that I was able to walk away with a small win.  Cards really weren't cooperating and I was down for most of the session.  There were just a whole bunch of hands that I got inolved with that turned out the wrong way and I was having a hard time getting people off hands.  I was down almost two and a half buy-ins for the night but connected with two or three big hands.  Like I said, I was just happy to walk away with a small win.

Uneventful Evening

Don't have my full results here to update, but last night was an uneventful night playing. Overall, I ended up dropping 1 buy-in. I got it in on a flopped set against a guy with top pair and the nut flush draw. Needless to say the guy got there.

Had a bunch of small wins on three of the tables which kept me afloat. More to come.

should have quit earlier

Ended with a winning session last night. Was up a bit more, but bled chips away as I got tired. All in all, though I'm happy with how I played and I'm happy that I was able to bring the table I got stacked on back to almost even. Was up almost two buy-ins at one point, but ended up just over one.

still in session. posting so i don't tilt

Just got hit with a huge cooler. I'm posting now before I lose the hand history and hopefully, this keeps me off tilt. The other three tables have been going well so far, and I thought this was going to be my chance to double up on this table.

updating went down the tubes this week

so much for regular updates.  I've been playing, but not a whole bunch of hands.  Looking at my session stats, my longest session was last night 553 hands played.

I've had a few losing sessions this past week, but nothing more than 1/2 a buy in after the dismal day playing on Labor day where I lost $44.45.  Booked winning sessions the past three nights for just over $90 or so.  I have to grab the stats off my laptop so I can finally update my ytd numbers.  Hopefully I'll get to that after work this afternoon.

Time to possibly quit

I forgot to export and e-mail myself this weekend's results. Thanks to the help of a buddy of mine, we had a winning session on Saturday afternoon, but I had some extremely rough sessions on Sunday and last night. I'll update the totals a little later tonight. I won a whole bunch of little pots, but the deck was against me any time I had anything big. The frustration led to tilt, and we all know where that goes. Here's a couple of hands from last night which I think I didn't take enough into account.



I should have raised more pre-flop but I still couldn't see someone calling a raise with an 8 in early position unless they had a pair of 8s. The board was draw heavy, but I was the aggressor again a guy who was short and got caught betting straight into his set. I felt I may have been up against a large draw rather than the set.

Here's a hand that kind of set me off, but the guy had me all the way. I just played the TPTK way too aggressively at the flop, but it's still going to go all-in on the turn when the ace falls.



And of course, what would this be without at lease one bad beat replay. My other table was doing well, but I had just gotten stacked with the AK a few hands before on my second table. Serves me right for slow playing the aces, but I really don't think that I would have pushed the guy off his 10's with a 3-bet preflop. After this happened, I decided to call it a night.
