Friday the 13th

Today I played exclusively at CelebPoker for a total of just under 4 hours. It was on course to be another phenomenal day but then tonight I managed to throw away a good portion of the day's winnings. I was playing 1/2NL and was dealt KK. One player had raised before me to 8 bucks, I reraised to 20. He thought for a while and went all in. He still had about $150 so it was a pretty big decision. I guess I tried forcing myself to put him on QQ, deep down though I need he had the goods. Sure enough, low cards on the board and he has black aces. I reload on that table and am dealt KK again about an hour later. Once again another player raises to $8, I reraise this time to $26, he calls. Flop A Q J. He bets, I make a horrible call. Turn comes 4. He bets, and I top my previous call by making an even worse call this time. River 7, he checks, I check. He shows ATs and I watch my chips slide over into his stack. I lost a total of $292 at that table alone. Luckily my previous wins from the day still keep me well up for the day. Total profit = $259.79. My bankroll is growing at CelebPoker at a quite fast rate, so I'm pretty happy about that.

On a side note, I stopped by the Spielbank Berlin tonight after watching a movie and saw that they now offer Pot Limit Hold'em €5/€10 Blinds on Sunday evenings. Buy-in is €150. I did not see if it said 'Minimum Buy-In', but €150 seems awfully small to be playing 5/10 Pot Limit. That's only 15 big blinds. I may go and have a look on Sunday. Who knows, I may even grab some chips and try my luck at the table?
