Finally a positive day!!

The poker room br took a positive turn yesterday as I had my first winning day in about a week. I started with $150 and ended with $198. I played one $11 SNG, the rest was all cash game, either .25 NL or .50 NL. Three hands really illustrate the day. First, I picked up AA in late position. I raised to $2. I get two callers. The flop came A high so I checked. The first caller raised to $2, the second guy called and I went all in. They both folded. That was about a $10 pot. The next one and my real moneymaker for the day went like this. I pick up 10 10 on the button. I raise to $2 and it folds back around to the guy just in front of me. He goes all in for about $44 (this is a .50 NL game) and, after thinking for a bit, I called. He had AK and my 10's held up. I had started that game with $50 and now had $94. I was pretty stoked but then the poker gods took a little back. I picked up 7-7 in late position and called a $1 raise the flop brought a 7 with 2 clubs. The initial raiser bets out $5. He only had $14 so I raised him all in. The other guy in the pot folds. He insta called and flipped over J-J. Good for me, or so I thought. The turn and river both brought clubs and I'm the loser. Not surprising the way my luck goes with good hands.

In the SNG I played last night I got knocked out on this hand. I pick up AA under the gun with six left. The blinds are $75-$150. I go all in cause I don't like to get cute with AA. I get called by 5-5 and he flopped trips and for good measure got quads on the river. GG me.

Either way, I hope this is the start of a few positive days. I have 169 points left to clear the $120 bonus. This should be done by the weekend.
