More at the Woods

So yesterday's session wasn't too exciting and I ended up getting so frustrated with live poker that I just called it quits, came back to the hotel room and fell asleep early. I wasn't going to give up completely, though, so I headed back again today to get in some $10/25nl action.

We started a game 3-handed and eventually it became 5-handed, which is what I love and happens to be my bread-and-butter game online. There was one pretty big fish there who I played the following hand with:

$6k effective stacks, he raises to $75 from the CO and I call on the button with AdTd, the BB calls as well. The flop is Th5h4d. It is checked to me and I bet $200, BB calls, original raiser (old man) minraises to $400. I thought lololol to myself as I called, so did the BB. The turn is the 3d and the old man makes it $1k even. I flatcall and the BB folds. The river is a beautiful Qd and he fires another $1k. I shove, having him easily covered and he calls, quickly mucking his hand when I showed him the nuts. ~$12k pot for me

That game broke and I was moved to another table, which turned out to have some sick action. It effectively becomes a $25/50 game due to the straddles and raise sizes, most flops costing $200-400 just to see. I was fortunate enough to get paid off once again when I flopped big with 77 on a 766 flop. My opponent had A6s and it didn't matter what line I took, the money was going in regardless.

All in all I played around 11 hours and made just over $12k, which is nice because it's actual cash and not virtual money :) Tomorrow is our last day here so we'll probably sneak in a short session before heading back to Massachusetts in the evening, then my next stop is Kansas on Wednesday.
