April 27, 2007, 6PM: Played 1 hour, 36 minutes at Lucky Lil's - Butte
$3/6 Texas Hold'em

Played like a rock.  Game was great for action.  A lot of pre-flop raising, and a lot of callers per hand (sometimes 7 or 8 players).  Made some big hands and got a few raises in and got paid off.  Not like this game usually, especially when it first fires up.

Bonus

This is a funny bonus, in my mind.  Since I play at Lucky Lil's all the time, this is what I do every session.  Since the fucking dealers issue 25 cent chips, and the jew operator rakes to the nearest quarter.  I just keep all quarter chips and tip the dealers dollar chips.  I was hoping just to eventually get all the quarter chips so they wouldn't be in play anymore.  Well since I don't have time to play much anymore I decided to give this up. 
 
But what I would do is this.  When I cashed out I would color up the quarter chips so I had an even $5 amount to cash out with.  Then I would rathole the rest of them and take them home.  Now I decided to go play but I didnt want to risk anything.  So I took in the $36 worth of quarter chips in to the game last night and bought in with that.

$500 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (24th out of 41 Players)

4K starting chips.  During the second round I flopped top two against bottom set, in the BB with AQ.  Guy in late postion moved all in on me on the turn.  This droped me down to almost 1300 in chips.  I end up getting down to 500, and then soared back up to 3300 with AKs and AA.  Then droped back down to 1300.  I went all in on the Button with TT and got called by KQo, he made 3 queens.

$100 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 44 Players)

Split the tourny 6 ways as chips where just getting move around.  I was chip leader so I look and extra 50.  Played well all day, just felt the groove.  A big hand for me at the final table was T5-h were it was SB vs BB.  I end up making two pair after turning a flush draw.

$20/40 Texas Hold'em

Full Kill Game
 
Was doing well at first, then I took a smoke break, when I came back I posted my blinds behind the button and flopped middle set (40-80 game), and lost to runner runner flush where the guy flopped bottom pair.  High point was up about 300.  That big hand that I lost would have put me about 800-900 winner.
