November 9, 2009, 11PM: Played 3 hours, 49 minutes, Made $5.50 at full tilt
$0.25/0.50 Omaha
 where do we start? get all in with AA vs. KK he flops a K of course.
the one that set me off, I have KK99 double suited, 9 5 3 flop, I don't mess, I pot it in early position, guy goes all in with A 2 3 5 and gets his 4 right on the turn, so sick man. As usual I feel like the whole online conspiracy and it's not my turn is back in play. I really didn't think I played that bad and regardless of what I got it in with I lost.
Finally caught a decent run and got even. Actually did twice, first time was up about 15 and should've quit, but got stuck 40 again and finally crawled back to take this little win.

November 9, 2009, 5AM: Played 8 hours, Made $170.00
$60 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 10 Players)
Decided one hour prior to join a buddy and go to this home game bonanza. The structure is this:6k in chips,12 minute blinds,with antes at 500/1000. Four of these mini turbos are played and points are awarded according to finish. I start final table witrh 14k,6th best stack. Leader has 20k. Saw some of the sickest river beats handed out by the worst player I have ever seen. He punished everyone with his sick ass shit. Anyway,head has not been in game of late,so considered a break until after New Years. My pal convinces me to go and it works out. I play really well and knock the final 5 out to win the tourney and the cash. *Winning...just feels so much better than losing* I had so much more to say here,but I could not get it to translate. I woke from sleep and had an "aha" moment,but thoughts just did not quite transfer to log. Oh well,it happens.

really wild session, I was all over the place between up 20 and down 40 but seemed like I would win a big one and then give it right back. thought I would quit on the good note. had 2 hands where I had 2nd nut against a maniac and he had nut, so hard to lay those down, one was middle set vs. top other 2nd flush, which really stung because three hands before that the same draw was there but we missed, so that guy obviously ran well against me. I played a little bit of .25/.50 and I was actually up there quite a bit to cover my .05/.10 beatings, think I was up 70 in the bigger limit, might try playing there next time to see, just don't have much bankroll.

$0.10 Pot-Limit Omaha
got my affiliate money and full tilt must've wanted it back quick. three hands basically story of the session, all three I am winning on turn and get rivered.
I actually forgot one I that hurt me, I don't know how else you can do it, I have a big hand pre, something like 10 10 Q A, flop is Q 10 6 with two spades, guy reraises me all in and of course had QQ
first one there is a ramming machine, I get AA and repop him, he goes over the top, obviously I am going here, I have AA57 with hearts he had KK 2 10 with clubs and hearts, flop is 10 x x with two clubs, and river is a 2 for his two pair.
next hand I admit I should've been in, but it's one of those where it's raised small and comes back raised small, then someone puts a real bet on and you are last with like 30 in the pot and 6 to call. I have Q8 of hearts 69 of diamonds. The flop comes down Q 4 2. Someone shoves in, and everyone calls. The hands are all these huge cards and every one of my outs is live. One is AAJ10 another guy is KKJ10 and the other one is KKA6 or something. The turn is the 8 giving me the lead, but of course the 2 peels off the river giving A's up the monster pot.
the last hand was probably questionable at best I am in. I have A665 with nut hearts and it's raised twice. Flop is K J 6 with diamonds. It's bet and raised when it gets to me, so I considered folding. I get it in. The hands are A10KJ for top two and gutter, the other guy has some garbage like Q987 with the 9 7 of diamonds. The turn is the brick 3 and the river comes J. I must say this is a beat I am stumbling into a lot more frequently, top two vs my set and getting run down.
sweet let me add a fourth hand. I am at a 3 handed table, guy raises preflop, it comes down K 7 3, I have 77, I make small raise after he bets, turn is 4, he check raises me, I think great KK, he has 5689, for the gutterball on the flop and I can't get board pair to win. At least I was losing this time on the turn.
anyway, brutal hit to my bankroll, not quite half but a chunk. Not sure I play any of these differently, what can you do?

was even right before I was ready for bed. playing while doing other things all night. watched the baseball game, then a movie, then did a pile of homework. had my favorite beat, flop top set over bottom set and the 1 outer peels right off on the turn for him. was still up at that point, but right before quitting I went on a let's see how much I can lose bluffing spree. this one player III-MERLIN-III if you see him, do not bluff him EVER, he is calling with aces on anything, two pair on str. and flush board, you name it. I tube off about 20 bluffing, then get caught in a 3 way pot where I flop total wrap and a Q high flush draw, which I assume is no good, but nice for defense, board pairs right on turn for this same guy and he wins about a 60 buck pot to get me stuck rather large considering how long I held out not getting stuck.
went on a nice heater as I was typing this ready to go. one key pot. I am in sb with KQJ9 with QJ hearts, button raiser pots, I call and so does a guy between. flop is J 4 2 with 2 hearts. I check, middle guy checks, button pots for 2, I call and other guy insta pots it, after taking his time the button finally folds. I assume he would've played a big flush draw from how he was going so I am thinking I am drawing pretty live here. I actually say outloud, he has J 4 and that's exactly what he shows, turn is 10 of hearts and I win a 41 buck pot to get close to even after all that shit!

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em
MANIACAL game. drunk tourist deep stacked raising all in every hand, when he'd go bust he'd rebuy full and then do the same thing. it was crazyness, the whole table got real deep stacked off of him, one lady was 700xBB. the swings of the game were pretty intense obviously. he lucked out on me a couple, times which forced me to rebuy to stay fully stacked. finally he stopped playing and I got a couple hands in a row that left me up for the evening. it was definitely a learning experience being at such a crazy table. lessons learned, just call, very little raises if any needed, and call down with more of a range.

went back after dinner for another session. got stuck pretty quickly again at a table that was very nitty aside from 2 Brazilian tourists. unfortunately one was getting very lucky. spent hours inching my way back until the dynamic of the table really changed and there were two LAGs, one was a chinese tourist who was betting like 100 bucks overbets every time he bluffed and another guy who just was bluffing every hand. the tells were painfully obvious and i was able to make some great calls with middle pair. ended up nice and ahead at the end of the session.

lost my first buyin real quick, then was short off my second buyin too... i buckled down and tightened up then had a good hand where i just about tripled my stack. there were a lotta donkeys and i slipped into the zone and made some great reads and shaked some people off their hands. i had a great image after a while. my losses in the beginning I think gave me a lot of action during the middle of the session. i think this will be a good weekend considering all the tourists are here for halloween weekend.

was just killing a half hour before work and ran into two hands against the same guy. first one I have some trash with a suited ace and flop top and bottom, it's checked around on flop, turn pairs bottom pair. board is A K 6 6, guy had KK and slowplayed it nicely, but I didn't lose much here. Couple hands later I have total dogshit in my bb, it's raised under the gun and everyone calls so I come with. I have 10 9 7 2, flop is J 8 6 for total wrap. SB pots it I call, original raiser jams it, I think about it and decide to go for it (after checking I am a 54/46 dog). But I foolishly went in and he shows top set, of course the board paired on the turn and I could've saved about 8 bucks, very poor play as it's likely the times I hit the turn he is committed anyway, so a call and see approach is better, if a total brick comes I am getting 4 to 1 on the river call as a 3 to 1 dog so it would've been an easy call, but on the times the board pairs I am stuck with 0 outs. On my little run from 4 bucks to where I am now this is exactly the type of play I have been staying away from by avoiding calling with shitty hands.
UGGGHHH as I was typing this up I had two crap hands against another guy back to back. First hand I flop set and flush draw he flops double gutter and rivers it. Second one he flops top set on a terrifying board and checks it allowing me to turn a smaller set. Seems like this session had a rigged feel to it like I have often bitched about. I would never ever check top set on K 9 8 flop with flush draw possible, why give 3 people a free draw when half the deck ruins you? Oh so you can bust one off in me of course.
