Blog-as-you-Go : Midnight Madness

Just underway.
Hand #2: Call raise OTB w AJs, whiff, fold to cbet (1395)
Hand #3: Raise 9Ts from HJ, OTB, SB call. Cbet rag flop, OTB calls, SB crai, I fold. (1105)
Hand #7: Small BvB pot (unraised), I flop OESD and turn a FD but cant semibluff him off 2nd pair (1000)
Hand #11: QQ in HJ turns into bluff on KxKJ and I take the pot (1180)
Hand #16: 77 in BB, OTB raises, I 3b, he takes a while and calls. I shove for a little less than the pot on KJ6 and he folds (1605)
Hand #26: Lose a big flip vs CO from SB with 88 < AK, crippled (475)
- Double up OTB vs CO, A8 > K9 (860)
- Presto UTG flops a set 3-handed and I ~double up (1660)
- AQ in SB, MP limps, I raise, BB shoves for a tiny bit more, MP folds, I call and hold vs 8To (2160)
- Moved for third time >.<
- I have a donkey on my right I can't wait to take advantage of...
- 2 orbits of death at new table and it's break time (1860)
- Getting into desperation mode. Another orbit of death, just shoved K2o OTB (1700 ~14BB)
- This table is so tight... 18/9/1 overall
- Another dead orbit, got two steals in (1960, 12BB)
- I raise A8 on the CO, BB (just got here) shoves, I have to call and suck a river 8 vs his AK (4000)
- My first hand in ages! 22! I go set fishing and miss (3300)
- Bluff a raggy board w 5-high from BB in a limped pot, take it down (3600)
- Get a sooted ace in a small battle with a MP limping nit. He plays a pretty transparent flush and I fold my TPNK (2800, 14bb)
- Raise 66 UTG and get a friendly flop. cbet takes it. (4000)
- Antes just kicked in.
- Aces!! Scarey board (8QQ8K) and I win a decent pot vs 66 (5665)
- BB in a limped pot, checks all the way and a river jack makes my J2o good (5555)
- JJ in MP, I raise and BB calls. He c/f's a rag two-heart flop (6280, 21bb)
- Getting braver with my steals. 84s in the CO gets me back up. (6405, 16bb)
- AA picks up the blinds (7330)
- 2nd break. When we come back I'm gonna have 13bb. Need more love than JJ or AA every 20 hands. 135/222 (6 off the money)
- ITM! woot. My M is 5.
- Raise 66 UTG, no love on the flop 3-handed. Under 10BB
- Out in 201st. Flop gave me hope...but no.

Decent Cash

Final tabled a 10$ 6-max tourney (I always seem to do well in these things)

Ran pretty good the whole way. Would have been nice to dodge the OESFD though. (Money in on the flop)





I'll take it!

Now Aces suck too

Played for the first time in over a week today. Feeling pretty confident. Now that my bankroll is crippled (I'm officially a loser on FT now), I'm down to 5$ SNGs and the ocassional 6.5$ double heads up for a token.

The token tourny was over in a hurry when I ran TPTK into a naked flush draw on the flop and in true fashion made it on the turn.

Then I get my first premium pair since my current 0/6 streak with KK/QQ
