Batting 1000

Another casino-hopping weekend puts my total Poker Profit for the month at a cool grand!

Started at the Muckleshoot and the wife rolled some hot dice, giving us a free $200 to play with. Got creamed in a maniacal 4/8 game, but picked it all back up and then some when I rebought at a much friendlier 3/6 game.

Played at the Midway and took a nasty bad-beat right away - flopped trips, then runner-runner 7's give me the full house, but gives someone else the quad 7 jackpot (as well as most of my chips). Somehow I managed to recover - without rebuying this time! A few lucky flops, and some really aggressive plays got me back over the top. By the end of the night (or morning rather), I was up $400!

There were two plays that I even got complimented on during my rise to fortune, and I'll stroke my ego and boast about them in a later post. Right now I gotta hit the road and pick up dinner - a fancy one thanks to the weekend winnings!
