Whatever.

Feh.
Played a $20 and was out really freaking early when I raised UTG with A/Qs and was called by 4/5s. He min bet the 4/5/9 flop and I called. Q on the turn and he shoved. I called. Oh well.

Lost a couple S&G's as well.

Played a cash game and I was down around $54 for the night. This dude on my right loved chasing people off pots when this happened:


Boo-ya!

Zzzzz...

Not much going on. I have not been playing the Last Player Standing games on CardsChat, because I haven't felt like committing the time to the game.
I've hit a few ring games for short sessions and always seem to come out a winner.

In my last ring, I was down maybe $20 when I had 9/9 on a Q/T/9 flop. I got all-in against another full stack, and he showed Q/T.

I've been playing the $2, 1 table S&G's on Full Tilt. I keep getting 3rd place (which pays $3-something), but last night I managed to change my luck and land 2nd.

Only one hand sticks out in my mind.
4 left, so we're on the bubble.
I have $1,200 and the blinds are $75/$150.
The lady on my right was tight, and I had shoved on the button the previous three rotations when she folded, which hurt the BB who was now down to $2,000. I had legit hands each time (Ace/rag'ish).
I get K/Qs on the button and shove.
The SB folds, and the BB calls... with 4/5 suited!
Wha? Did he assume that I had 2/3 or 3/4?

Anyway, my hand somehow held and he was left with $800 and went out a few rounds later.

Update

EDIT: Looks like PokerHandReplays is screwing up and showing the same hand (not mine) for every hand. Hopefully this will be corrected on their end, as all the posted hands have different PHR #'s, yet a completely different PHR hand is displayed.

Not much has been going on.
I've played a few hit & run ring games, leaving after about 20 hands each time and with a pretty big profit. Last night I played a total of 17 hands at $50NL 6-max and left $27 in the green. I had about three other sessions, making about $10 in each.
The sample size is tiny though, so the incredibly high bb/100 is just luck, but it still feels good.

I have not been doing well in the 90 player S&G's I've been playing. Last time I lost a couple coin flips to the same person to get KO'd (my underpair vs his AK AIPF, then I rebuild stack to get APIF with him again with my AK vs his underpair).

Blah blah blah...

I played one $2 +$.25 9 player S&G on FT, because I had a few beers and didn't want to risk "real" money. Besides, I think the S&G's are softer on FT.

I ran hot.

Check out these three hands I had in a row:


Followed immediately by:


Followed immediately by:


Yeah, K/K three hands in a row! And two of them make sets!

You know, I *thought* he had an overpair here. But I figured I was just paranoid.

Guess my gut < my luck.


Do you hear that loud sucking sound?

Zoink!

A coin flip was the last meaningful hand of the game:

After that he was all-in every hand, and my SB insta-called me. He had a pretty good run, but I finally won 5 hands later! :) It would have been hilarious if he could have made a comeback. But man, those first 4 hands I was laughing because he couldn't be killed.

Edit: If you see the same hand for all, then PHR hasn't fixed their stuff yet. I had K/K three hands in a row (sets twice). Then I had A/T on a T high flop, and stacked vs J/J, only to make trip Tens.
Then I get AIPF with Q/T vs A/A and make the straight.
Finally I get AIPF with A/7 vs his 6/6 and hit my Ace.
