I must have engaged my psychic powers today. Philyfan just slightly hesitated before checking the turn; I had figured that one of these two was calling me with JT and as such didn't contribute another dime to the pot. (Funny that I flopped the best hand and ended up third best.) The ace on the river just sealed the deal - shame it wasn't a queen instead.

Good job, good fold, two pairs = plz kick my left testicle hard. Hurry up and build that BR and get your ass up to the $100 games, they are easy! 50NL sucks. 25NL = 100NL.

Some pretty tight games at that level, it seems. I just recently got it back up to where I feel comfortable at 50 again... buying a new house really walloped my bank account hard, so there's a lot less poker money floating around for me. The way things have been going the last few days though, I should be in a better state shortly.
