I played $20-40 from 9pm to 3am. I had a monstrous one level pyramid in front of me due to my excellent play combined with my awesomeness at sucking out.

One particularly horribly played hand was when youngish asian lady that is bad, but not that bad, raised pf co. I three bet button with A9s. Frop is 652. She donks and I raise, she calls. Turn is a 7 and she donks again. At this point I think she is effin around with me which she never does and I have no idea why I thought she was. So I'm po'ed for no reason whatsoever and decide to call and bluff the river no matter what. So I call and the river is an 8. She checks, I bet, and she goes in the tank for an eternity and finally calls and angrily mucks. I really wanted to cry at how bad I played that hand, but chips are chips. I clearly hate money, but not that much.

Later, a sort of 2+2 lurker was at my table. Probably the best player I've played with at Commerce in a few months. The game was still really good though. Anyway, I'm playing kinda laggy and getting a bazillion callers every time I bet. So folded to me in the co. I raise Q8s. Button and BB call along. Flop is 884. BB checks, I bet, button folds, bb reraises, I call. Turn is another 4. BB checks, I bet, BB raises, I 3-town. At this point, BB is about ready to call(no chance in hell this player ever lays down a made hand) and lurker says "How come YOU always get paid off?!?!?!?". I fire the river and say "because I'm awesome at raising with hands like this!". BB shows his horribly played KK, and I add lots more chips to my pyramid.
