yay.

Another good day today, playing 20-40 at the Rio. I played for less than 4 hours, and left up 1k. I only had three pocket pairs in the entire session (QQ, JJ, and 44) but won with all three of them. i even flopped a set of fours! (first set in at least 3 days.)

Besides that, things just went pretty fine. When the flush card came, and i had a good hand with no flush, and I called the bettor, they didn't have the flush either time. I did make one fold that i regretted, where i flopped a gutshot and called a bet (the pot was big enough), then turned a flush draw, but it paired the board. a woman who had not raised once raised when a guy bet and I was concerned that I was drawing dead. it was clear she thought she was strong, but i wasn't sure if strong to her was trips or a boat. in the end, i folded, thinking the odds were against her only having trips. river did make my flush, and she showed trips with a deuce kicker. I was not happy about it. I gave her too much credit. Lesson learned.

Besides that, things went well. I check raised a pre flop raiser with a gut shot, he 3 bet me and I called. The turn brought my str8, and I check raised him again. Sadly, he folded... but at least I didn't have to show what I was check raising with.

I'm getting closer to getting even than I've been since the 'day of blood', when i dropped 3 k on sats. The last four days have been great, with me up almost 2.8k. Limit hold em! yay...
