High Five From the Big Guy Upstairs

So I got up this morning, ate some oatmeal with fruit on top (breakfast of champions) and got ready for another day on the tables.

Started out well, made some good hands and got paid, then I hit a wall. For like 3 hours I was within $50 of $150 profit. Up and down, but always within distance of $150. Pretty annoying. I kept at it though and in the end made $425. Great day for 50NL. I also cashed in 50K vpps for a $650 bonus. Nice little profit for 2 days.

I was getting very unlucky in the minor pots today, AK v TT,JJ, or QQ and then TT,JJ,QQ v AK. I lost 24 of 28 pots in those spots. Not cool at all. Then out of nowhere god came down and gave me a high five. Thanks god, yer alright.

I was up 4 buyins on the table, villain was on 2.5 buyins.

I have never set mined with KK until this hand.

To his credit, he was gracious about it and didnt complain at all. I really liked that. You dont often see that at 50NL tables. He took it on the chin. Hats off to him, ty for respecting the game mate.

Thanks for the set of kings JC, right back at you big guy.

I am going to take the rest of the night off (I did play 11K hands today) and watch the first game of the Cup finals. Detroit and Pittsburgh. Come on Crosby. Either way though, I am getting Pizza Hut tonight. Stuffed crust like you wouldnt believe.
