Friday Night Wackiness

This is my graph from last Friday through tonight (technically Saturday morning). As you can see, I'm running pretty well, all things considered. I don't know how accurate it is though, seeing as I know I'm missing some hands.

I had a rough night tonight. The plan was to rent a movie and watch it with the wife, but I volunteered to take this week's oncall rotation for work. So, just as we were starting the movie up, I got paged. It turned into a 4 hour ordeal that was really just sitting by the computer and waiting. Might as well play some poker, right?

Well, I got stacked right off the bat with 44 when I flopped a set. Guy raises preflop, I call. Flop comes Q64. I figure I'm good, if not, I'm felted. Guy bets the pot, I call, planning on checkraising the turn. Turn is a T, he bets the pot, I shove, he instacalls. He has TT for the turned set. I can't do anything about that, it played exactly like I wanted, so it's not like I'm going to re-evaluate on the turn. Anyway, about 20 minutes later, I have AA in the cutoff. I raise the standard 3.5x raise, get the button caller. Flop is KQ6 rainbow (you know where this is going). Pot sized bet, he calls. Turn is my A. I check it, he checks behind. I checked for the big checkraise, but it didn't happen. River comes a blank, I make the pot sized bet, I get raised all in. The guy is pretty crazy at 45/15/3, so I figure he thinks I was on a draw, missed, and bluffing the river, which is what my check on the turn is supposed to induce. He shoves, I have to call with AAA, sure enough, JTo for the straight.

So I had some tables close, and I opened some new ones, because at 6 max, people are always coming and going. Well, I accidentally opened a 25NL table, because I was trying to do a little work at the same time (stupid). First orbit, I get QQ on the cutoff. Folded to me, I raise the standard raise and realize I'm at a 25NL table. Whoops. Doesn't matter, I have a good hand. Blind and button call. Flop is AQT. Checked to me, I bet the pot. Button folds. I get minraised by the blind. Only thing I have on him is a note that says 'TAG'. Ok, he has a real hand. Hopefully he has AK, AQ, or AT. He might have KJ, but whatever, I'm getting stacked and I have boat outs. I reraise the pot, and he shoves for the rest. I call my last bit off. He has KJ, no boat for me.

Now I'm down 25, I decide to rebuy. I hit a couple more sets and a boat to get me up over 70, so I won back my lost buyin and won an additional buyin. Then my computer strangely reboots, so I'm away from the tables for 10 minutes.

I bought back in at four 10NL tables - didn't want to play 25NL to begin with. I proceeded to play some solid poker and make some good reads, and made back the couple of 10NL buyins I had lost previously. Up one 25NL and three 10NL buyins for the night. I'm back at 300 for my UB roll, and my Pokerstars roll has been left unchanged at about 110.

Really, though, I probably shouldn't have been playing if I couldn't even figure out I bought in at the wrong table. I was working periodically from 9pm-1am. I should have left poker alone.

I'd post more real hand histories, but I'm too tired.
