Last year, no cards period. This year, i had cards preflop. Postflop, i just couldn't connect. And when i did, i got rivered.

big hands...
first hand; hit a set of 2's; won about 1k;
few hands later; turned a str8; won about 2k;

got up to about 14k with 2 total bluffs when i flopped air; then the wheels fell off;

i had AA 6 times in 8 hours; only saw 1 flop;
i had KK twice; won both hands (blinds and a small pot)
QQ twice; won both times small pots
JJ twice; lost both;
first JJ 50/100; raised 3x (from button; BB calls); flop AAK; yuk; chk/chk; turn J; (woot); i bet .8 pot; called; river Ace! chk/chk; opp shows KT for rivered boat;

second JJ; raised limper; flop KQx; limper leads out pot size bed; i muck.

3rd hour; we have a very active agg player added to the table; he raises 3x utg (does so often with many cards). button calls; and i call in the SB with AJs; flop Axx; i chk expecting aggro player to bet so i can chk raise; it goes chk/chk; grrrrrrrr; turn Q; i fire an almost pot size bet; aggro player folds; button calls; river T; i bet out same bet as turn; button calls; shows QT; another river; this pot takes me down to near 4k

another big stack agg player is added; after about 20 hands with him, he makes it 800 in MP with blinds 100/200/25; LP calls; i push QQ from the BB; ALL fold! i was so hoping to dbl up, but a win is a win i guess.

NEXT HAND; i have AA in SB; now i'm up to close to 6k in chips; 4 limpers to me; i need chips; so instead of pushing; i raise it 6x to 1200; 2 callers; flop KQ9; being so short stacked; i pushed; first player calls with JT; turn 9 giving me hope; river bricks, and i'm done.

i guess i should have slowed down on that flop; so many hands are ahead of AA there. oh well. i see 1 flop in 6 with AA and the opp flops a str8.
