I haven't updated this thing in a while.

Basically I'm just playing live poker, although I did log a couple thousand hands over Christmas break.
I still primarily play 6/12 live at Hollywood Park. No hands I really feel like posting, last three sessions: -$100, yippeee...

Oh yeah and I quit my part-time job during school to play more and use it as an income, so thats kinda cool.

Played the 6/12 game again at Hollywood Park. Made about $140 after only 5 hours, was up almost twice that, but my AA went down in flames in a huge pot and some other similar luck.

Had 33 hold up on a 2d3d4d flop. Turn A, River 2. Sounds really familiar to the last hand i posted in the advanced theory section. Had some good hands, made some good plays, just played a more tight-aggressive game, instead of trying to be too cute.

Also, this old guy sits down in seat 9 with about 60 bucks (shortstacked players in a limit game are generally the fish). He proceeds to get rivered once for his stack and begins cussing at the dealer, a couple f-words, bla blah, directed right towards the dealer. Next hand he plays his straight holds up when a third flush card comes on the river. After winning the hand, he starts cussing again at the dealer. "You tried real f------- hard to beat me." and other such crap. Now the dealer hasn't said a word but starts to get upset and says something...

At least for me today.

Went to Hollywood Park, decided I would cool off my NL run and take a stab at a slightly bigger limit than I normally play at, 6/12. First meaningful hand I have Ad3d in the BB and call a raise and go 3 handed to the flop. 997 with two diamonds. I check, Initial raiser bets, next guy calls, I raise, both call. I bet a black 8 on the turn. River blanks and I check/fold, initial raiser had JJ, other guy KK!

Next hand I limp in MP behind two others with pocket threes, we go 6 or 7-handed to the flop of J J 2. We check around. Turn: 3. Sweet, bad player bets, its to me next and I raise. Everyone folds, he calls. River: Q. He bets. I'm not good enough yet to fold my boat here I call and he tables JQ for the rivered better full house.

Following that hand, I get KK in EP, raise and get 5 callers! Flop comes J K 6 with two diamonds. I bet and get 4 callers. Turn blanks, I bet and get 4 callers. River is the Qd, not good, we call check and an EP player...
