I was in the zone tonite. It was simply Awesome. I won a ton of hands tonite. My Won $ at SD% was like 66%. Played a little tight tonite, but after the hand below I couldn't get the flow back.

So I am up like $125 at one point and trying to hit my goal of 100 points a day for Iron Man Golden Freeroll. I'm only like 4 points away and I get KK in LP. I raise after its folded to me and BB mini raises to $4. At this limit, this is 90% of the time Pocket AA. It happened to me at start of session when I cracked them with 8-9 sooted. I call and flop a K. Perfect. Trip kings to Kong this guys AA. He bets 10 instantly. I push pot which essentially puts him all-in, it was like another $3 to go in. So in the middle of all this, the phone rings, my dog steals my external hard drive and is running around with it in his mouth, and my wife was sleeping and wakes up to answer phone and yells at me. My set of Kings gets cracked and Mojo is totally gone.

I couldn't wait to log off and was all mad I was up only $75. LOL.

HANDS OF THE DAY:

QQ: Made C-bet and got lucky on turn. Opponent played his KK like a donk. Why is he calling me down too?

QQ: Laid down best hand when it was 3-way pot. I really put the middle guy on flush when diamond hit and he came out betting to isolate the all-in short stack. F.

***********************************************************************
8-9 sooted owns: Make preflop bet and get mini-raised to $3. Warning. I call and flop 2 pair which is nice. I think I left money on table on river, but 4 card straight gave JJ a nice hand so I checked since I put him on JJ, QQ, KK, AA.

************************************************************************
5-6 sooted: This guy was doing this to me all nite. I'd bet preflop and he'd call or raise out of position in blind. Then he'd lead 50 cents on flop, 50 cents on turn, then Pot the River. I called him down here light, but I figured out what his pattern was and he was scared the rest of the session. Sometimes it's worth paying them off to get information:
