laptop bit the dust, pissed, new one, spent most of weekend reconfiguring and recovering years worth of crap, etc. etc.

eazy, was that KK hand a cooler vs you?

Yeah big time. Although, to be fair I think I would take the free card more often than not given your flop line if I was on the flush draw. If i was on air I'd probably bet a lot and given stack sizes air is a large part of my range. I don't see how you can pitch KK when the turn pairs the board...

If you ever take up coaching, let me know.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but I gave coaching a whirl this summer and had quite a bit of success. Between poker/studies I decided to put the "Experiment" that was coaching to rest. I might start back up next Summer, and maybe consider doing one-time sessions with people who are interested over winter break if I don't do too much traveling.

Speaking of travelling, it'd be nice to run good in a PCA sat for once [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Villian has 7c9c for the straight flush! OMG

I'm really having a blast grinding for the first time in like 6 months. My arm is still killing me, but getting the grove back pretty quickly.

Plus, I think my dabbling in pot-limit the past couple of months has really helped my NL game. Particularly on how much I'm value betting the river.
