Finally got the Stupid Bonus

Been playing a little $3/$6 this morning and it started out as one of those nightmare sessions where I lost about $300 in like 1/2 hour. Here are two consecutive hands that took place sometime along the way --

Not that anybody did anything wrong in the 2nd pot, it just sucks to get a huge pot together with the best hand and then lose it.

I managed to get myself to about -$180 before everything was over. I was 2-tabling, and I managed to get myself +$50 on this table thanks to gsamike (the guy who hit the gutshot in the 1st hand) while losing $230 on the other table. I was only playing this morning because I had a few hundred more hands to play to clear that $100 bonus. So I guess the bonus subsidizes a little over 1/2 the loss, which is ok.

Alright -- time to eat lunch, do some work, then go to class. After class I think I'll watch the new 24 from Monday, then I'm going to continue watching the 2nd season of Lost.
