Vacation is good, Poker is good
I've been in the bay area on business for the past few days and have been playing a good amount of poker. Oh yes, and I've been running very good.
Last week sometime I had $180 in my pokespoker account (I think I mention this is my previous blog entry). My account currently has $4109 in it. I've been running pretty hot in the shorthanded 1/2 games. I don't seem to be hitting tons of sets or anything, just getting paid off at the right times and hitting draws and such. About half of this came today at the hands of two particular donkeys. When I sat down, they had about $900 and $750 a peice. I managed to win a ton off these guys and by the time I left the table I had $2066 sitting there with me (after buying in for about $285).
The guy who started with $750 loved to bluff. So I doubed through him twice for most of his money by check-calling him wire to wire with top pair. This got me a little over $1050, of which I lost about $250 back to the other guy with top pair vs. overpair. Then I played the biggest pot of my life, which amounted to about $1620. I was a little worried about the guy having a set here, but he was such a donkey that there was no way i could let go of top 2 pair.
This guy was just getting hit in the face with the deck tonight and still ended up leaving the table with $950 despite how poorly he played.
After this I ended up getting a monster pot together by getting all in with AA vs. AQs for about an $850 pot and winning it (another player claimed to have QQ in this hand and he helped build the pot a little too).
There were plenty of other semi-interesting hands, like the one where i check-called a guy with 22 when he potted the flop/turn/river and won a bunch. I don't have pokertracker on this computer so I don't have easy access to all the hands, therefore I won't be posting them at the current moment.
I also might be moving up to 2/4 NL soon. Again I have to look at my pokertracker stuff when I get home to see if I've meet my goal of winning $4000 at 1/2 NL. I'll hopefully be able to post more about my good run when I get back to San Diego. I hope everyone else is doing as well as I am.
