Mayday Mayday!

After grinding the tables at 1/2c blinds on stars for three weeks, I've finally reached my goal of $100 profit!

I actually hit it late last night, but I then started to run crazy bad, getting sucked out like crazy, running into coolers like set vs overset, getting aces busted.. I played for the whole day today, and for the first five hours I just couldn't hit a hand. I kept playing my best though. It was really funny what some people would call with. One guy called giant bets on the flop and turn with air, and hit a two-outer gutshot straight vs my flopped set.

In the end though, solid playing prevailed. The hand that pushed me over $200 the second time was pretty funny.

The FR game I had been on had slowly dropped to three handed. One guy (call him bob) started betting 20-30c every -single- round. I just started folding my marginal hands since he'd just raise. I think he was looking to get busted. Anyways, he raises 30c in one hand, and the other guy at the table shoves all in. Bob calls.. with 8s 6s, and hits an 8 vs the other guy's Js Ts. So Bob is now at around $5 stack. I'm deeper than him at around $7.50.

He continues betting 30c pf every single round, and I keep folding to him. I keep getting shit hands like 72o and 34s etc. Nothing worth pushing. Then I get dealt AJo. He bets, I call. Flop comes 34J, 2 hearts. He bets, I shove, he calls. Jack falls on the turn, 6 on the river. Flush draw completes but I take the pot with trip jacks. Woo!

Now its time to move on to the bigger fishes at $5NL !
