Back-to-Back baby !!

The 4th game was literally 133 hands. The lead changed hands at least 15 hands over the course of this period. At one point, I was at 300 chips and Gary had 2700...and later on I had about 2800 with Gary down to his last 200.

Having played for well over an hour, both of us were tiring and you could tell it in the style of play. Lots of fast checks and steals.

The final hand played out as such. As per usual, I lucked out against GC.

Although I actually had 16 outs on that river, it felt like a dirty 2 outer that I'm known for :) Pandemonium ensued while GC went on life tilt !

Looking forward to drinking from a new trophy !

Saturday Blog

2pm - Just finished another HU PLO win and finished 3rd in a 9 man SNG to increase my bankroll. I pwned the HU but had to get lucky on the SNG bubble to cheese out a cash.

Current Bankroll: $62.25

3.40pm - I was belittled by my opponent for limping ... all this while i had a 2200-800 chip lead!!!! haha. He would just bluff in weird spots. took him down a little while later

Current Bankroll: $67.00

10pm - The doomswitch has been lowered. I'm facing brutal beats and cant fade anything!! It's so sick and so gross.

Current Bankroll: $50.75

Needed to end the night on a high so I played one last HU match before I sign off. Thank god I won for my laptop's sake!!! :)

Current Bankroll: $55.50

Back Above Even

I was running terrible and was down $18 to a bankroll of $32.
Okay ... maybe playing bad more than running bad.
However, if I had a set and needed to fill up I never got there.
If I had a straight or flush I couldn't dodge outs.

I abandoned SNGs and just concentrated on HU Omaha Hi PLO.
I'm back above starting stack and sitting at $50.50.

That's right ... FITTY CENTS PROFIT ... YA HEARD!!!

I'm pretty sure that's good for 1st :)
