Yup, the DOOM switch found me too. Two today which standout: flopping two pair and losing to runner runner trips and guy hitting over set on turn. That's two oversets in two days! They're expensive [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Nothing strange about this hand. After the hand some guys at the table congratulated me to a nice hand and I say that I was amazed that there wasn't a Jack out there. Then the kid to my left says that he folded AJ because it was to weak. I congratulated him to a good fold.

This hand isn't that interesting, but I haven't played since this session (2 weeks). I'm just posting this to get it out of my system.

I don't normally play 1/2, but I was trying to clear a bonus quickly and I felt comfortable. This would probably bug me more if MP hadn't been in the hand (and had what he had) and then proceeded to seriously berate UTG for his play...and there was really nothing I could've done, [censored] happens.

Also...I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the converter.

As I told a guy on Stars who was table coaching today, if you don't like the chasers, don't play on the weekend. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Personally, I'm loving them - decided to 3-table some full ring today to clear my Stars bonus and ended up ahead ~100 BB, basically playing ABC poker. (Don't know if I can handle much else until this cold clears up.)
