The play this past weekend went pretty well. I made a nice profit (finally) and was able to cashout a little to pad the neteller account. I made a nice deep run in a multi table tournament and finished 20th. I busted out on this hand: Blinds 1,000 & 2,000. I pick up 6-5 in the big blind. It's checked around to me. I check. The flop comes 5-5-J. I think "Boy this is my lucky day" cause I'm in about 15th place with 16,000 in chips and hoping to doube up here. I check. The guy in first position raised it a substantial amount. It gets fold to me. I go all in. The guy in first position calls and flips over Q-5 so I'm drawing dead to the three sixes left in the deck. Oh well, GG me. I played the hand about as well as I could I think.
In the cash games, the only really bad beat I took was when my KK went down to a guy who couldn't fold A-J and I don't blame him, I wouldn't have folded A-J in that position either. I had two really good wins. First my JJ floped a set and beat a guys KK for a nice pot. Then on another hand, I pick up 7-7. I call and get reraised so the pot is starting off pretty good for a 2-4 game. The flop comes 4-5-8. I call along with two others. The turn is a 9 and while there is still one guy who continues to bet, I'm getting pot odds (I think) to call. So I call the turn bet, as does one other guy, and the river is the most beautiful six I've ever seen leaving me with the straight and scooping a nice pot. As I recall, the total pot was $63.
I had AA hold up three times for nice pots which hadn't happened in quite a while. I must've been on the down side of variance so long that I forgot what it was like to win.
I'm still chasing down the Powerplayer leaderboad bonus and trying to stay in the top 10.
