I'm back!

$225

No Cake hold'em for 10 days. I just took a couple days off and it stretched on without me really thinking about it. Also, given my job, I have to be more current with my console gaming, so I've been playing 360 with my spare evening time these days. Usually I will play on the laptop while I game on the 360, but we'd lost the laptop mouse and I hate using the laptop without it.

I got my January rakeback! $10.60...beat that Marsh and Jason!

OK, back to it. I have a high-water mark to climb back up to...

(AKo) Those were not the hands I expected.

The next three are consecutive.

(AQh) Domination works out for a double up.

(AJo) Worried about playing a vulnerable hand like AJo right after being aggressive, but it works out.

(AA) Now I'm thrilled that I get to raise preflop for the third time in a row, but I don't get the pf reraise I was hoping for, and win a small one on the flop.

(KJo) The trouble hand from worst position. I bet the open-ender I pick up on the turn but fold to the big raise.

KK next hand takes down the blinds and a couple limpers with a pot bet.

(98c) Check out the river v-bet!

I flop the nut flush from the unraised big blind. One opponent, I give him a free card, half-pot the turn and he folds.

(KQo) A setback with another trouble hand. I just couldn't fold that turn, I think I have about half the deck there. Maybe odds say I should call the river, but I believed he had the random ace.

Wow, I'm playing Mass Effect, and I went back to the Citadel, and now I can't for the life of me find my way back to my ship. Curses!

OK, there we go. The docking bay is in C-Sec. Geez, they should have "Docking Bay" on the map.

(KQc) Wow, that was just the worst turn ever. So long, sugar.

+$3

(AJo) I'm feeling pushed around by the table and take a stand. Whatever.

(99) Yeah, I knew that kind of flop was coming with the session I'm having right now.

+$5

(AJo) 76 hands later, I drive hard with AJ and take down a solid one.

Done at blinds I think.
