Gettin' Paid!

What a great day! Today was my most successful day since starting this blog, here's how it broke down:

First off, my day definitely started on the wrong foot, literally. I have a fracture in my right foot, which actually caused me no problems over the last few months. Until last night. I tried going to bed at 1:00am, and I lied in bed tossing and turning until 5:30am, when I finally fell asleep. The pain in my foot was just unbearable, but the doc gave me some drugs to tone the pain down.

Because I didn't go to work, I had plenty of time to play poker, and it seemed like I couldn't do anything wrong. I 4-tabled the 1/2NL tables at Celeb and I came out ahead on all 4 tables. I played another session a couple hours later and came out ahead of 3 of the 4 tables. Definitely a good time, considering I also cleared some bonus money and earned rakeback as well.

Tonight I decided to head over to UltimateBet again to clear off some of my reload bonus there. My past two sessions there did not go so well, which made it all so sweet tonight, because the UltimateBet dealer hooked me up tonight! I 3-tabled the 1/2NL tables and my first mentionable hand was 55. Flop comes down 9 5 2. Someone bets, I call. Turn comes T. Same player bets, I raise, he goes all-in with just over $60, and I beat his JJ with my 555 after the river comes down a blank. Two hands later, same table, pocket cards 88. I flop another set and get it paid off as well! About 20 minutes later I get dealt 22 in LP. One player in EP raises to $7, I call. Flop comes 7 5 2. He bets pot sized ($16), I mini-raise to $32. He calls. Turn comes T. He checks, I bet $50, he goes all-in. I call instantly. River comes 4. At this point the $400 pot comes flying down towards me and his AA has officially been cracked.

I probably should have kept playing, but the lack of sleep last night has me tired. Final results for 01/23/05: +820.91
