2AM- $1850

The losers are stuck and rebuying repeatedly. The maniac has been lucky (and tightened up a little) and had $1000 I'll stay a little longer and see what I can pick up.

3AM- $2150

I wasted about $300 on genius bluffs that got called by people too dumb to fold

One hand I flopped a straight flush draw, bet it the whole way and missed.
One hand I was betting from LP with K high and a straight draw, and got rivered (I had the best hand until then)

I keep breaking one of the fundamental rules of hold 'em:
Don't bet if a worse hand will fold and a better hand will raise.

except in my case, the better hand calls and shows me bottom pair....

4AM- $2280, but i think I would have all the money on teh table by now if I hadn't been drawn out on over and over... 3 outs, 2 outs, doesn't seem to matter. This game makes me sad, but at least it makes me money.

Here's the table:

Seat 1- LP girl is now playing LAggy, and well. $3200
Seat 2- me $2280
Seat 3- The mainac is now a LAgg, and still has $900
Seat 4- LP $300
Seat 5- LA $150
Seat 6- TA $200
Seat 7- TA $800
Seat 8- TA $900
Seat 9- Calling station, $100 after a few rebuys. The saddest thing is that his wife is just sitting behind him, watching him lose a few grand.


As soon as I sit back down, The calling station is out of money, and leaves the table. before he is out of the card room, 4 other players get up and leave also. (That is just embarassing)

Since there are so few players left, the Casino combines the must move table and the main game, making our game 10 handed.

Here is the new table:
Seat 1- A young guy LA, $700
Seat 2- Me $2280
Seat 3- semi-loose agressive $400
Seat 4- SLA woman $900
Seat 5- One of the 3 best pros I have seen at 20/40. SLA $1600
Seat 6- another kid, SLA $900
Seat 7- LP $350
Seat 8- No read $500
Seat 9- TA $800
Seat 10- TA woman $1000



5AM- I lack discipline. I tilted through a couple hundred dollars after my hands kept getting snapped. I understand that there is a "correct" way to play poker, but losing hurts my feelings. $2050, and time to go home and take a nap.

Total progess for day 1: $1050, 13 hours. 2BBs/hr. Total rake $182
