Mov'en on Up!!

I managed to make a little bit last night inspite of getting stacked once in .25 NL. This happened on a hand where the guy made a loose aggressive call and hit his river card. This is from the same guy (KUMB) who cracked my AA with 66 when he rivered a straight two weeks ago (see previous post). Last night, I pick up AK in late position. I raise to $2 and the button calls. The flop comes A-5-K. I bet $3 and he calls. The turn is an 8. I go all in and he calls. The turn is a nine. He flips over 7-6 for the straight and I'm left with nothing. Oh well. That is the second time he has done that to me in less than two weeks. I was kinda steaming but it didn't take me long to get it back plus some.

On a different table, I picked up the beloved A-K. I raise to $2 and get one caller. The flop comes 2-Q-J. The caller bets $1 and I call. The turn is the magical 10. He goes all in. I think for a second, but the flop was a rainbow and I can beat trips so I call. He flips over Q-10 and I double up. Good for me. I was about $1 ahead for the day. After that, I played a $3.40 SNG qualifier and busted out 7th. Then I played a $11 SNG and finished third. I was all in as the short stack with 6-6 and got called by K-10. K-10 on the flop and GG me. That left with $344. I managed to make $8 this morning playing .25 NL. The majority of my money came when I rivered a straight and picked up a nice pot. I lost a pot after that or my take would've been more.

The Pokerroom BR is at $352. This down$248 from the initial deposit.

Also, I have 390 points left to finish off a $90 deposit bonus. I have until Sept. 4 to get this done so at 20 points per day, I should have it cleared easily by then.
