After 1-2 months break from poker due to cash flow problems I´m back and it´s going great so far. 30dollas - 500 dollas in the second day. (would have been higher but a bit of drunker gambling set me back a few hours). I´m truly having fun playing for the first time in a long time. GOD I LOVE POKER!
I think the break was just what I needed! Let´s hope it continues tommorow. Goodnight mates!

Well mates i cashed out!
The money earned payed for a few bills and some other necesseties! So it was a great run for me. I started playing some low stakes again today and so far so good but I cant afford any serious gambling untill next month so I´ll just keep up the low stakes grinding and hope i don´t get hit by a bad streak.

I was up to about 150 dollahs when it all came crashing down. During a couple of hours I play some bad poker and went down to to 50 dollahs. I figured i might aswell cash out some so i dont lose it all since im still on the plus side of my 10 dollah deposit this time so i took out 30. i sat down on a table with 10 dollahs (yeye bankrollmanagement etc etc i was bored with losing on the smaller tables). Ive never had a better run. I mean im folding QQ´s vs KK after the flop with no aces or kings on the table etc. Im playing freakin brilliant and its paying off handsomely. Add to that the fact that i was running extremely hot. I hit pocket aces 4 times (2 of them in a row), AK´s AQ´s etc etc. Lots of high pockets and after about 2 hours i´ve made my 10 dollahs into 200 again. Some people might think i should have left the tabble but i had my time limit set and i hardly ever leave a table thats going great before time. Then the magic hand appears vs a guy ive been beating the whole day. I knew he was on tilt because he just lost a few pretty big ones (he was still bigger then me on the table due to buy ins etc, but this guy was a freakin goldmine im telling you).
Me: AhQh Villain: ??
He raises to 10 i reraise to 20 he calls Flop: AsQd5H
I check, he raises pot and i call
Turn: 6H
Now normally i might (and im stretching might here) have folded a hand like this if i didnt have a read on a guy, but i had a great read on this guy and i went with it. Top two pairs and nut flush draw...im not going anywhere
I bet 40 dollahs (full well knowing that he would put me all in after this.....and he freakin did) so I call his all in
River: Ks
Table: As Qd 5H 6H Ks
Me: AhQh Villain 10sJs.
Anyways i can always take solace in the fact that i had the right read and put my chips in when i was a favourit.
(btw, the dollars here are my own calculations since the site im currently playing on doesnt use dollars. it should be pretty much right)
Anyways im down to 10 dollahs on my account again so i guess its back to grinding...in a few days when ive cooled down.
hm, to play drunk is a bad habbit, drink at pubs or other places usefull for relaxing and poker table is not such type of place... Player need to think correctly and play without fun. Poker is a kind of a way to make money ))) And I don't think that any boss will say that it is great when you come to work drunk

roff, i challenge any true gambling addict to come home after a long night of drinking and dancing and not play poker!. i for one do it every time. i usually break about even and its always really exciting in the morning when you can´t quite remember how you did =)
