Day 25: BR is @ 11k...WTF?!

Yesterday felt like five and a half hours of chip stacking.

I got to Hollywood Park and there was only one $400 game running so I sat down at a $200 no limit table. As soon as I sit down, the kid in seat one tells me the game is crazy. The guy in the eight seat proceeds to go all-in my first two hands, winning the first and losing the second.

The eight seat short buys for $100 and I have 99 in the big blind. I raise to $30, seat eight calls. Flop comes J-6-7. I bet $40, he goes all in. I call and he has JQ and I turn the nine. Very next hand I have kings and I raise to $40. Three callers. Flop comes J-4-3. I bet $75. Two callers and one all-in. WTF? Turn misses all draws and I go all-in and one guy calls with A-J and I win a big pot, now I’m up over $450 at the $200 table in like 15 minutes.

I take the money and run to the $400 table. About three hands into it I pick up tens on the button and raise to $60. The Australian kid in the small blind (who busted out of the World Series Main Event on day 1 and is waiting for his connecting flight from Vegas to Australia) calls. The flop comes 7-7-T. I figure this is a bad flop because it couldn’t have hit him, so I bet a weak $50. He thinks for a while and calls. The turn is a jack and I bet $50 again and he goes all-in. I call and he has 9-7 of clubs.

I went up $600 twice and told myself to leave because that left me up a G-note on the day but I didn’t leave because there were a couple weak old players who I knew would call me down all day. But the problem was I bluffed off over $300 to a girl that sat down and I was back down to $300. I doubled twice and then hit a flush and was up to like $1500. All three hands were against the two old guys that I knew would call me down. One hand I had a set of fives, the second hand I had king-five for two-pair vs. king-ten. Then I had AQ against A-6 and won another $400 pot.

This run I’m on is pretty sick and I’m enjoying it. I’m convinced that my specialty is controlling the size of the pot and reading what a player is willing to do against me. Basically I don’t pay them off and they pay me off.

The transition to the $400 game has gone extremely well after three sessions. I’ve made $163.33/hr. over 15 hours so far.

**Damn I just added up the numbers and I passed the five figure mark. This is crazy, inexcplicable, preposterous, astronomical. I guess after getting caught up in the daily updates I didn't realize that I was that close to 10k. Wow. And the best part is I hit 11k in the bankroll...exactly. How weird is that?

Here’s my text conversation with Corner Sleeper:

6:39 p.m. Me: Start 200
6:51 p.m. Me: Up 450 already LOL
6:52 p.m. Me: 12 mins@450 equals 2250/hr lol
7:10 p.m. CS: Solid come up.
7:11 p.m. Me: Left 2 up 468. Start 4
7:37 p.m. Me: Up 400 TT raise to 60 one call flop T77 other guy has 97
9:27 p.m. Me: This game is crazy. Went all the way back down to 300 then doubled twice in one round. Fuck.
11:56 p.m. Me: Cashed out 1735

In celebration of passing the 10k mark, I'm adding captions to photos. Yaddadamean!!
