I actually played ok and was running pretty bad...i.e. got a walk with QQ when I had a maniac table image, raise with J 10 on the button get called down by Q 6 off and lose when the board comes Q 10 x. Pick up JJ in the next hand and can't get any action with the same raise. Oh well. I still played ok up until the end - I made a super donk call against the always fearless opponent "JenipherH". Immediately followed by flopping bottom two when the button had min raised with pocket 10's and hit top set.

I'm just about embarrassed to post that hand. That was donkalicious. Pre-flop I decided that I was going to defend my button against EVIL OB with a hand that could draw out big on him, but Jen and enricopp followed behind each subsequent person getting a better price to see a flop. In hindsight I should've reraised as 1) I had position 2) it would've knocked enrico and probably Jen, too, out of the hand.
I really didn't have much business betting my pair on the flop 4 handed, but it's not a horrendous play. I'd already shown a big bet when I flopped bottom two - so had I bet it big enough to really take odds away I might've gotten a draw to lay down. I got the immediate check call from Jen and then another one from enricopp and without a flush draw out there I knew at least one of them held the 6. When the 8 comes on the turn we get the upfront checks. No Shit. "Well, good." I say to myself. "They might BOTH have the straight". I check behind because I would have to be a dumbass to push it again when it's obvious what they have. I know what you're thinking, though - doesn't Chris have a little donkey on his shoulder that blurts out, "heeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwww" right when he's about to make the correct play? Yes. Yes, I do, and when I make bottom two pair, which can only be good if Jen has A7 or A8
Two hands after that...

This is just a cold deck - but my bet sizing is bad - I commit myself with the $3.50, I might as well shove for more fold equity against EVIL, who led out for 2/3 of the pot. I just walked into a big hand. Had it been aces or kings I'd have won, but it was a donk with 10 10 giving out cheap flops and hit one of his two outs for a monster. All in all a pretty cruddy session.
I got a hankerin' to leave the table when I was stuck $7.15 and I didn't do it. I just didn't feel like the table was going to be all that profitable at that point. GG Inner Voice. If I can plug the leak of playing past my high profit zone, I think I'd be up at .25/.50 in no time. Oh yeah, and not call with bottom two when it's blatantly obvious that I'm beat.
Blah, first losing session since the blog started.
Started with $593.53, ended with $568.53
