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 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.)

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.

Flop: (6.00 SB) 6s, 7s, 2h (3 players)
