There ya have it -- fun stuff... that's poker, right? I proceeded to raise this guy with monsters, pre, and he beat my AhJh (8x raise preflop) with Q6 offsuit and AK offsuit (10x raise preflop) with 10 8 offsuit. Those aren't his fault (he shouldn't have called pre-flop) but after the flop I just donked off my money. I was right to raise that retarded Goob preflop, but when I didn't catch I didn't need to keep pushing. Anyways...end the day at $552.73.
