So after complaining the other day to Tommy about how I didn't have any $500+ days in June, today was a good day. We got to Cache at around 2:30am and weren't sure how long exactly we would play. We both ran pretty well though (I came up $540, Tommy came up $265), so we played close to 10 hours. We were seated in seats 8 and 9 for the night/morning, and there was a solid player to my right who ran pretty well, so the last three seats of the table looked like a Murder's row of sorts. The majority of the chips on the table were usually on our side. I don't think anyone else except us three left the session up a winner.

Anyway, I started off the session really really slow. I felt like I was riding a bike in quicksand...pedaling hard and getting alot of action, but my stack wasn't going anywhere. Well that all changed around hour number three when I finally broke through with a few monster pots and found myself up $300+. I wish I could remember more hands from that streak...but I've been really bad at that lately...here's one, and it's probably butchered to shit.

Hero is in the Hijack with A4 of diamonds:

Limped in a few spots, I limp, button calls, sb raises, BB and everyone else calls

Flop is Q:d:8:d:4:c:

Sb checks, BB checks, Utg bets, UTG+1 calls, one fold, Hero raises, Button and SB call, Bb folds, Utg 3-Bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero caps because he's balla obv, Button and Sb call, Utg and UTG+1 call

Turn 5:s:

Sb checks, Utg bets, Utg+1 calls, Hero calls, Button and Sb calls

River: 5:d:

SB checks, UTG and UTG+1 check, Hero bets, Button calls, all fold

Hero wins the pot.

Sooo huge hand, but I really wasn't comfortable betting that river. I really felt like UTG was going to check-raise me there, but then he ended up folding. What could he have on that flop and then not even be able to make a river call? I really like my play on the flop by the way, because at the time I thought I could raise SB out of the hand (I think he had AK) and possibly open up some of my ace outs. Besides that, I really wish my friends would play their flush draws like this and cap the ever living fuck out of this flop like I did. We have so much equity with four other people in the hand on this flop...

And like I said before, I really wish the river didn't pair, but I guess I'm lucky that it paired the turn card and not any of the flop cards, cause then I might have been screwed. If Utg had led out on this river btw, I would have only called.

So after this I ran pretty horribly and didn't win a hand for about an hour and a half. My chips free-fell from +$300 down to +$120. I was visibly frustrated and close to quitting before I went on an insane rush of cards. I won a few big pots, a couple kills, all my big hands held, and my stack of chips grew and grew. I still really enjoy stacking my chips by the way...I shoulda taken a picture today, but I didn't want to rub anyone the wrong way.

I guess since I'm not going to play tonight (Sunday night), I'll probably blog about a couple more hands in the morning, but I'm out for now.
