Poker

Haven't posted in awhile.  I've been pretty busy with the new house and then quitting my job for school.  I quit my job a few weeks ago and then went to my parents' house to visit with my Mom's side of the family.  I always go to Foxwoods when I am up there because it is only 45 minutes away, and it is always pretty fishy, especially on the weekends.

Friday night after 4 hours of play I was up $238.  This was good considering I lost my first $100 buy in in the first 45 minutes on 3 bad beats.  Then I was able to grind my way back up.  I was getting tired so I left, but I would have loved to have stayed since a guy on massive tilt and a guy who clearly didn't know what he was doing both sat down at my table right before I left.

Saturday night I played for 4 hours again and was up $588.  I would have loved to stay at this table too, but again, I was getting tired.  Guess the moral of this story is more caffeine.

Sunday night I figured there wouldn't be as much action, but I went agaon just because I feel my game improves so dramatically when I am able to play live.  I wish I lived closer to a casino with a poker room.  I was up about $200 and thinking of leaving when I got involved in a hand that ended up with two other people, each with about $200-300 going all in.  I called, made my open ended straight on the turn and won the biggest pot I have ever taken down (probably about $600 that wasn't mine).  I played for awhile after that, but it wasn't a very friendly table after that hand.  One guy in particular started trash talking me, plus I had been there for awhile, so I decided to leave.  I ended up leaving with $802 in profit.

So, for the week I was a professional poker player and made ~$1700 in about 12 hours.  Gotta get to Foxwoods more often.  That is a pretty sick amount of money for a 1-2 NL game.

BTW, the nickname I earned last time I was up there came back on this trip: Silent Killer, LOL.
