Mostly been keeping track on my new iPod Touch lately.
I guess God thought me fasting but not going to temple was good enough on Friday night when I bought in for $250 at a 1-3 game in the city because my rungood reached new levels. Just constantly flopping the nuts or near-nuts. Made some very questionable pre-flop calls but not once was I all-in as a not huge favorite (most of the time the other guy was drawing dead. It's like once I started being up semi-big I took some chances and they all worked. Called a $20 raise 3 ways with 10-7hh, flopped a flush and stacked a guy for $300. Win another few hundred when I raise with KQ, board runs flop KQ turn K and the guy I'm betting against had AK. Hand when I knew everything was going my way:
I'm in late position with JTo with $1K behind. Bunch of limpers and MP (deeper than I am) makes it $20 (has been doing at a decent number of times, I think just to pick up the blinds). I call planning on making a move on the flop but maniac (just bought in for $1K himself) one before him makes it $180. This guy would never limp with a big pair, or at least I've never seen him do it. I put him on a small pair or 2 random junk cards. Original raiser folds and I call planning on treating my JT like it's AK and get all my money in if I hit a pair (this guy never folds so no point in raising was my thinking at the time. Playing fit or fold in this spot, in hindsight, was probably not the best idea). Flop comes 789. Gin. Check flop and he checks. Turn 6. I bet $235, he jams. I snap call and he had either 56 or 45 (in other words, my read was spot on). Later in the night some guy tries to pull an unbelievable bluff on me (in other words, made zero sense) for $600 so the rich kept getting richer. Game breaks at 6 AM Saturday and I cash out for $4810. I guess that's all it takes to get back in the black. :)
Side note: Recount before you leave, especially in an underground room. Managed to spot a counterfeit $100 bill (it was a bleached $5 that was reprinted as $100, the little paper still said $5 and the watermark was of Lincoln's face instead of Franklin) because it was pink for some reason. Amusing part is I think it would have gotten past most casino's since they usually just put a marker to it to see if's printed on real paper. Either way, I just said it looked odd (didn't noticed the other parts until it was pointed out to me), house took another look at the bill, spotted it as a definite fake and gave me another bill.
Session: +$4560
Net: Def in the positive, somewhere around $3k (can't see my exact results here where I don't have wireless access to my stored iPod results).
