Turns out I cant withdraw my whole pacific poker roll. The "upfront bonus" still needs clearing apparantly, and I'm a long way off it. I cancelled that withdrawal and decided to play some 25NL 6-max there last night. Ran good. In fact, I think I only showed down 1 losing hand, and that was when a table went 3-handed and I called river with 2nd pair. Not terrible.

Made almost 3 buyins in about an hour 4-tabling. God I hate their software, its SO shitty. Even 4 tabling I timed out so often because theres no time-bank, short action times, and not that noticable that its your turn to act. Their note taking method is the worst I've ever seen. I typed half my notes into chat because it kept shifting focus to the chat box on the tables instead. Doesnt show mucked cards, and doesnt store HHs. On the other hand, soft as hell. Lots of min-raises, lots of folds to 3-bets and c-bets, very high vp$ip. Was fun the hands I played. Would be tempted to just play out my bonus there, but the lack of support for HH's (and therefore HUDs), shitty software and shitty support have convinced me its just not worth it. I've now won more than the bonus on their anyway, so I'll withdraw all bar the $100 in bonus and leave that there just to mess around with when bored. Their 3-up tourneys are a fun change of pace.

Got my first ever (I think) royal flush last night . Pity theres no HHs, it was a really fun hand. UTG limped, so I raised QKs (spades) OTB to isolate and SB came along as well. Flopped a gutshot + BD flush draw with an As,Ac,Jc checked to me so I took a free card. Got the Ts on the turn to give me the straight and a 4-flush with gutshot to the RF. Bet out 3/4 pot and got called by SB. River hit Js giving double paired board and SB pushed. For a moment I cursed his FH, then quickly did a double take as I realised I had a Royal Flush, not just a flush . So not only did I get my first Royal Flush, but it got paid off!

I think it was the very next hand I got AI pre v's an almost full stack with QQ v's JJ which held up and left me with a $65 stack on that table .

Played really well (as well as running hot) I think. I only did one total bluff all night, when someone bet like 1/4 pot on the flop so I took it off him with air. A couple semi-bluffs in smallish pots (one of which got called but I hit and got more in on the turn and river), some 3-betting with a fairly tight range, and a lot of c-betting. No stats, but I ran fairly tight, but won nearly every pot I entered using controlled aggression, and made some decent laydowns when required. If I can keep my head right like that all the time I think I'll run good.
