I pulled a 20+ hour session playing 1000max at a great table where I didn't run well and finished down close to 2 buyins I think. I missed the 500 tourney because the game broke when the tourney started and I'd been up for a very long time. My friends slept in and missed registration, so we just said f it and left, I'm on the train home now. Very unsuccessful and unsatisfying trip, though it was nice meeting and talking to some of you guys. Here's a fun hand from the cash game i was in, details might be a little off.

There is a blind raise to 20, blind reraise to 30, blind raise to 60, once the cards are dealt crazy station guy looks at one card and makes it like 170? I cold call with A9o in LP, I don't think there are any more callers, and it folds around to one of the blinds or blind raisers who pushes in for 1200 ish or something. I am calling fairly quickly here if it folds to me I think. (KingDan on 2+2 I'm pretty sure I heard him or someone else say) Anyway, it folds to the guy who looked at one card, he moves in for 1400 ish. I agonize and fold after some thought, mostly because I had barely any more cash and I really wanted to stay in action, also considering that KingDan might push here with a real hand making it look like a gigantic squeeze, and the other guy could have a hand I guess. I was ready to gamble but I was short on funds. If theres another 2k in my pocket I call probably. Anyway, KingDan tables 56o and the other guy shows Q9o and I take a walk around the poker room. I return to see 56 scoop the pot with a pair of 5s, and this result makes me somewhat happy though I still in some way wish I called.

close, there was another cold caller of the $160 i believe it was in sb before dan shoved from the bb.[/nit] it was pretty funny just watching dan sit there anxiously waiting to shove it in when he saw u guys calling.

it was a fun one. hope you can run better than last night/this morning and I'll see you around in the future I'm sure, you seem like a cool guy.

I would like to mention that Evenkeal is super weird and very annoying. i mean its pretty common to meet a 2+2er that is a supergeek (not always a bad thing), and some annoy me with the whole talk strategy at the table thing, but Evenkeal is standout. Also, in my experience a ton of live pros are huge douchebags, but I can see why when I think about how I feel after playing a live session.

Yeah, if it didn't take 11 hours and leave me totally brain dead, I would.

I have a plan in mind. This week had me reassessing a lot of things in my life.
