Crap!

Today was one of the more frusterating sessions since I got back into the swing of things. No matter what I did at the tables it seemed I couldn't get anything rolling. Overall i'm not effected by it because I feel I did a good job minimizing my losses.
I played in the 150k guaranteed on AP and the PLO rebuy FTOPS event. Missed the money in both. Altho, on a positive note I did limit myself to 1 rebuy in the PLO event and didn't even have to use it. I played pretty well compared to when I played the tourney last fall.
Cash games were mostly a bust too. I played only one big pot and came up on the wrong end. Second to act minumum raises to $20 and I call in the 4 spot with 2s 2h. The button makes it $65 to go and early position folds. The button is about $750 behind and I decide to take a flop. Flop 10h 6c 2c. I begin to lay my trap and check flop. Button quickly fires out $120 and I make it an easy $300 to go. After a short deliberation the button moves it in and my trap is complete. In this spot a huge majority of my opponents will have overpairs to the board or if they're lucky Ac Kc. My opponent actually turned over Jc Jd and we went to the turn which was the 8c. The river quickly brings the Ac and i'm wondering what just hit me.
I was actually rather impressed with myself over how I handled the whole situation. Nothing was thrown and no higher powers were cursed. The funny thing about being an 87% favorite when all the money goes in? 13% of the time you're going to lose.

Saturday session results -1000. It could of been alot worse...

After about 8 hours of straight poker I needed a break. My friends were all either working or more than 30 minutes away so I headed over to the Rampart Casino close by the house for a beer and possibly to play a little video poker or blackjack and relax. I walked by the craps table and figured why not. I tore out $100 and explained to the guys I was standing next to that I had no clue what was going on. One of the guys working the table told me not to worry and just do what he told me to do. I ended up playing craps for 5 hours and walked out with $800 more in my pocket than I walked in with.. and I had a blast. Craps is amazing and a ton of fun if you have someone on a roll. I consisder myself a semi-expert at craps now. I'm by no means quitting my day job... but not much can make you feel better about losing $800 than having eight new $100 bills to wipe away the tears with.

OK.. it's really time to sleep. Bodog 100k guaranteed at 1:00 and the FTOPS 750k guaranteed at 3:00. Might sleep through the bodog tourney so i'm fresh for the tilt tourney... I'll make that decision at 12:59.

One last update. While I write my blog i'm always playing 1 table.. My saturday sessions results are now only -400 for the day. Had a guy bluff his entire stack off with As 7d after I flopped a set of jacks on the Ah Js 4d board. Until tomorrow.....
