The worst part about it was that me and this player had been going at it previously. I CBed the flop mega fast, because I felt that that would induce a call from him rather than a fold, as he thought I was always FOS. Instead he raised, which I liked, because I'm comfortable stacking off here against a maniac. That's where I decided to get tricky, as I figured there was a good chance he was way behind here, and thus drawing very slim, and would fire anyway OOP at the turn. Therefore I just called the flop raise, and doubled the turn for value. As we had been going at it, I acknowledged that he could be bluffing the river, and the board hadn't paired, FD hadn't hit, so I called it. At least I was right he was making a move on the flop!

This one is more straight forward, a 2 outer over 2 cards. Bleh. Notice also that I wasn't actually over raising that ridiculous amount, as he only had another $3 in front of him; I was just putting him all in.

I also timed out PF with AA. I swear it's almost unbelievable how unlucky I've been with that. I say I've times out 15 hands in total in me playing poker the past two months, which is about 15,000 hands. Most of those are also in the past week as I've moved up to 6 tabling. Twice I have timed out AA. The pot also ended up being a $40 pot this time which didn't go to showdown. :-/

Oh yeah, and I cleared another $20 bonus. That leaves on $20 left! Hard to believe I've made $180 already on bonuses. I learned two things from that: I really should have deposited more (can you believe I could have earned up to $600? doh!) and I think it's time to invite some friends...

Session: +$4 -- 728 Hands
