Ahhh Friday's. I like Friday's.
We're all headed to the Dr office today to get our flu shots. Except they now have a flu spray instead of a shot. I hate shots, so I think I'll try out this spray thing. I've been known to pass out when needles are involved. And it doesn't even have to be a shot for me. If I'm in the room when someone else gets a shot, I still get really queasy. So I'm going to lobby for all four of us to get the spray. What a wuss, huh?
*************************
So I was going to make a post the other day about how much of a pathetic day of poker I had on Tuesday. I played a couple tournaments, including the FTOPS NL Turbo event. I cahsed in two of the five MTTs I played, but they were just baby cashes.
I cashed in the Pokerstars $10 rebuy (again) and the Pokerstars 50/50 MTT. I had a top 50 chip stack throughout the rebuy, but went card dead at the wrong time and ended up going out with TT vs QQ. I was doing good in the 50/50 until I got busted out with AK vs Q9s. Some big stack raised PF and I pushed from the BB with about 13 BBs and he snapped called.
The FTOPS was a total joke. I lost half my chip stack in the beginning when I held 99. Flop was 875 all diamonds. I didn't have a diamond. but some idiot called my flop c-bet with 44 and hit a 4 on the river. How he calls a c-bet on the flop with 44 is beyond me. A few orbits later I doubled up with AA vs KK. There was a king on the flop obviously, but the turn was an ace. Then I called a raise from a short stack and lost to his K5o. I eventually went out with J9s when I flopped a flush draw and an OESD and didn't hit.
Cash games that night were an equal joke. I won't bore you the details, but I only hit one set (against a short stack), didn't get AA, QQ, or JJ dealt at all, and got KK 4 times, but only won the blinds all four times.
BUT, I prevailed, and the last couple days have been really good. Actually, I think yesterday might have been my new "Best Day Ever"™!
The big uptick there is when I went from $200 to over $900 in the span of 10 minutes on one table. Here are the hands:
