decent week

felt like i played pretty well over the 2k hands or so i've played over the last week. i think i've done pretty well over that time frame results wise so it feels good to win a little bit.

saturday i played another live session and made $160 in about 5 hours of play but it was one of the live sessions that makes me never want to play live again. just a bunch of whiners with the typical "oh my god i play perfect and never win" bullshit. i busted some reg w/ AA vs AK for 60bb's and he whined about it until i left. a lot of these regs are just so horrendous i have no idea why they haven't clued in yet but i guess thats the great part about poker. i had one kid that was playing super weak tight but wouldn't shutup when it came to berating this super bad short stack player beside me. so i had to listen to them bicker back and fourth on either side of me and at that moment i thanked god for internet poker. (and partly swore at the casino for banning ipods otherwise i wouldn't have had to deal with it)

best parts of the session were:

• same donk short stacker thats arguing with weak tight calls a raise from mp in the bb with like $37 behind. flop comes QTX and he bets out $30, pfr puts the other $7 in and he folds stating he was trying to get him off 2 pair.
• weak tight won't stop bitching and whining so after i take down a pot that he obv folded in he states that his 3rd pair was huge there, i laugh and he then starts telling me how he's going to call all my raises and outplay me post flop. i could do nothing else but laugh my ass off.
• half decent (or so i thought) reg raises in the hijak, my buddy cold calls in the blinds and they take a Q73ccc flop hu. my buddy donks out, hijak min-raises and my buddy calls. turn Qx, my buddy checks, hijak bets like 1/2 pot and my buddy c/r ai for another 100 on top. hijak tanks for close to 5 minutes, keeps holding his cards up and cutting out the call. then mucks his JJ face up while declaring he guarantee's it's the best hand and there is no way he's beat. i see this about 5 times a session, "im 100% sure i've got the best hand but im gonna fold"? (my buddy had AcQx)

so it was at least a little entertaining. sometimes i wonder how much i could earn in those games if i actually played optimally while not screwing around. i'm pretty sure i could earn a living in the game but i'd also want to shoot myself. i'd also feel pretty scuzzy calling myself a 1/2 $100 cap buy-in live pro.

i also had a sick situation happen online last night. i got KK in vs AA pre again for the second time in a short little session i was playing after work. the first time i lost but the dude was only 1/2 stacked so it wasn't too bad, this time though villain was full and spiked a set on the flop. i then proceeded to hit runner runner for a straight and started to think that maybe it's my time to go on a little run. about 5 min after that the absolute biggest fish in mid/low stake nl sat down at my already decent table. this guy is down 220k over a pretty big sample playing 2/4 and 1/2! it's so sick so i had a ton of stuff to do but i felt obligated to stay and play. the wait list for the table was 49 people long! anyways i stayed for a bit, missed out on a lot of the stuff i was supposed to do but did manage to make a few bucks off him before i had to go.

im gonna try and play a lot tonight and maybe even try to luckbox a donkament.
