Quit just a LITTLE too late

Was in Pinawa today. Had a few chances to jump on for some mini-sessions here and there. Up until my last session, I ran super hot. But, then my last session, I hit a couple ridiculously gross hands and decided to pack it up for the night before it got worse. All-in-all, I can't complain. Was a great day of makin' bling and relaxing with my family.

Here are the highlights:

First was a $350 9-player SNG on FullTilt:

Early double-up, bottom 2 pair actually wins once in a while!

Donation by me...

Little loose call by me in BB, but against a button push and the SB who most likely just doesn't believe the button push, I think it's okay. I play to win! Boom, sweet river! Double knockout.

Gah, I should have re-raised preflop, he said he folded AQ, but I didn't want to run into a big hand vs. the other big stack and bubble.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085516

Ship it! Played like a genius (and lucky guess on river). :)

No-brainer city

Woops

I play this bad, he plays it worse.

I had a little more time, so I jumped into another identical SNG:

I'm awesome at getting paid with AA. I think I played this perfect. Oh wait, no brainer again.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085612

Haha, AA again. Don't you just hate when this happens though?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085619

Ah damn it. Sure would like to see a turn...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085671

I am such a lucksack today! I should be playing cash games!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085677

Haha, this gives me 2nd place.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085680

I win a coin flip to double up and even the chip count heads-up!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085686

Unreal, look at this shit I'm hitting! I may have been winning or able to bluff these anyway, but hitting gutters works too!

Game Over
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085705

Ship it again! Back-to-back 9-player Donk-N-Goes wins (I call everything Donk-something that isn't cash game). I should play poker in Pinawa more! Off to the park with the boy. Damn, poker is fun when you win! I've learnt it's important to enjoy it to the max when running good.


Up next was some 5/10 and 10/20 action on Tilt and Party. I found my old buddy iSplashFunds on PP (made some nice $$$ off him before). Some hands on PP:

Early bluff and show to my buddy. This is the 2nd time I've done it to him. Time to hit some hands now.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085963

Gah, horrible. I get greedy betting river. I come SO close to calling his check-raise. It was so fishy.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085968

Ship it. He had nothing.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1085983

Not this time bitch!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086029

Add I get to show another stupid bluff.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086032

And some hands from FT:

Look at what I get myself into first hand at the table. This could have been a huge donation, but I really felt he would fold. Whew...nice little $470 pot with absolutely nothing. Everyone was supposed to fold pre-flop!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086501

Gross!!! HAHAHAHA......gross......
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086513

Making all the right guesses today.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086522

Decent little pot...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086524

This is a super tight laydown against this player
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086526

I like my river bet on this one, but I could have raised turn.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086541

AA to finish off the little session against a shortstack. I love my river bet and comment afterwards. Sometimes (well, often) I love being a jackass.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1086562 (edit: I just noticed this hand history is all fucked up, not sure why, but it's saved on my hard drive like that too. Anyway, I bet $84.95 when he had $85 left on the turn. He pushed all-in on his open-ender, missed, then I made the comment at the bottom. He swore a bunch and left. haha.)


And then tonight I noticed on Sharkscope player jems23's average stake in SNGs is $133. I just watched jems23 win a $1100 heads-up SNG on FT, and waiting to play another. I decided to take a stab and turned out to be a good idea. Super weak player, very passive.

I shouldn't have given up on this bluff.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087109

Nice little pot he calls for a chop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087114

Good pickup against his flush draw, though I could have made much more this hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087118

I dominate this guy for a while, then it's game over at hand #33.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087124


Then, I decide to play one more SNG, a $555 on FT. During that I play a little 5/10 cash too. Well, needless to say, I should have quit.

Holy crap, my luck is definitely over today. I could feel that 9 coming. So bad. First out of SNG.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087152

Then in 5/10:

SO damn gross, my run was about to end somewhere. This idiot left after this hand. Guess I didn't lose that much.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087143

Then I make this retarded play thinking he's on spades. After I hit the turn, I convince myself he's bluffing spades. Weee, retard....
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1087183

I dropped $1,600 from my highest point just 30 minutes ago, so I'm done. Book a win of $4,450 for the day. Hate ending on sour notes, but I ran pretty damn sweet earlier today. Cracked the 20k mark for online cash & SNGs since starting this blog, and pushing the 30k mark if you include tourneys.

I SERIOUSLY have to get on top of this real estate licensing course I'm taking. The deadline is coming closer and closer. Gah! Been out of University for over 4 years and my study habits are identical...

PCH Online Tourney tomorrow @ 2pm, might play some other stuff during it. Then next week real estate is priority #1 (except for Tuesday, of course, if we have our Penguin 10/25 game)!!!

Peace!
