I wasn't all that happy with how the night ended up.  I was up about $300 profit and about to leave when a couple fish sat down.  I stayed in the game and changed gears to try to maximize my profit off of these players, but it didn't work out so well.  I left at the second best time, though, and other than trying to bluff into players who didn't respect me, and playing good pots where I didn't hit/win, I'm happy with the night.

$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (26th out of 40 Players)

I played well, I had one particular player on tit and got him to pay me off hardcore, but I lost my all-in when I got short stacked and was trying to build up some chips.

Plyed very well.  was running good and capitalized well off of it.  I'm happy I got up when I was getting the feeling that the table was drying up.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

What a shitty night!!! At first there was a ton of action, and I seemed to always have the second best hand.  QQ vs KK etc.  I took a break and came back.  Then I played really tight.  I started to catch cards but no one was paying me off.  After this I changed gears to try and get the table going.  I started bluffing, raising with weak hands, and acting lose.  After I picked up some $ then dropped a bit I changed again and started playing tight again.  I'm playing tight and acting lose, I set the table up to pay me off.  I couldn't really catch any really strong hands.  The hands I got good action with I got re-raised with a semi weak hand, or got drawn out on.  I really was successful in setting up the table to pay me, I just didn't follow through with winning hands, really depressing.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

This sealed the deal.  For some reason I just can't really win on these electronic tables.  Not sure why, then again this wasn't really a winning day for my poker at all.

$4/8 Texas Hold'em

Was pretty tired.  I did well and played well.  The problem I realized with this game is that it makes it to easy to play poorly and still make money.  No limit really keeps my instincs way sharper than a limit game ever will, unless it's just stupid high limits.  so I'll keep playing it to be in a game, or to gain experience, but NL is still my passion.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

I played really well.  Basically sat down and just played like a rock.  I didn't show any hands that I didn't have to, and I thought that really helped my potential.  The hands I did show were huge and helped me get away with some nice bluffs.  I got paid fairly well on my big hands and every time i was aggressive at a vulnerable pot I was able to take it down.  The table had $ but also had respect for my play.  Overall a really good night, and I'm glad I left when i did because there wasn't really any money left on the table to win.

2 tables I played on, both the same stakes NL games, and both just rocked up... no real pots, no excitedment, no $ on the table.  Got bored, got a headache and left.
