It's beginning to feel a lot like a purgatory of sorts. Downswings last longer when you play less, so this break-even streak is taking forever. Maybe this means I should play a little bit more often...
Hand 1: It has been a while since I've run into straight-over-straight. Unfortunate for me.

I really want to post more hands, but Blogger is still running slowly for me. My next project (probably in a couple months, after I start getting paychecks from work) is to buy a new hard drive and start over again. I think there's just too much junk on this computer. I might buy more RAM, too. So sorry for the increasingly short posts (if anyone is actually reading this).

I was kind of tired when I played today, which was probably a mistake. I quit pretty quickly, playing only about 40 minutes. I didn't really find myself in any difficult situations except once, and everything else seemed fairly standard. I don't know why $1/2 6-max is frustrating me, but 15/30 live is so easy... or maybe I do.
Hand 1: I think my mistake was either raising the flop or not folding the river. Or maybe I just call down all the time with TPTK against the LRR.

I've been busy these last couple weeks with packing and getting ready to move to Henderson, but I decided to squeeze in some playing time this evening.
I still haven't figured out what happened to make Blogger type so slowly, but I found a simple fix: type in notepad and then copy it over.
Anyway, tonight I hit cards all over the place, which made the upswing a bit larger than it otherwise would have been. Hitting quads twice in a night is amusing. But it was an otherwise pretty dull and straight-forward day.
Hand 1: BOAT!
Preflop: Hero is BB with 4d, 7d
UTG calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, Hero checks.
Flop: (4.00 SB) 4s, 8c, 7c (4 players)

Final Pot: 12.00 BB

Hero shows 4d, 7d (a full house, Fours full of Sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins 11.50 BB.

($1.00 Rake)
Hand 4: QUADS! (The turn check behind is solid. Think about it: I'm now chopping or losing, or I'm way ahead of some hand that has 2 outs. I risk getting check-raised if I bet the turn, but there's no way I'll be able to fold.)
Preflop: Hero is BB with Jh, 8d

Hero shows Jh, 8d (four of a kind, Eights).
Outcome: Hero wins 10.00 BB.
($1.00 Rake)
Hand 5: Here's an interesting turn check-raise against a player who I have labeled as a bluffer and a relative unknown. I suppose I could have bet the flop, too, but I was running all over the table and my folding equity was dramatically smaller than it might otherwise be.
