The story so far - Its late saturday and weve been through roughly 10-12 hours of poker. Friday night was decent although none of the rollests showed up and it was our old old game, like from october. While it was kind of fun the profit wasnt nearly close to what it could h...

Bankroll: $329 I had 2 good opportunities today... - Bankroll: $329 I had 2 good opportunities today to win 2 $20+2 sngs, but one was lost with stupidity, the other with no luck. In the first one I was pinching blinds, got re-raised, so I went all-in with KJ, which got beaten by a weird board of QQAJK, the...
Going well - Bankroll: $501.42 Ive just been two tabling 20+2 sngs, and so far the competition has been soft. Very soft. You can always count on making the top 5 before even having to play a hand, and K9o, A8s have been very overvalued by raisers out of position. Sim...

Sunday Poker - I played this game with people i didnt really know. Nobody wanted to drive out to savage to play at brokecos so we went back into Edina to play at Brookss. Now we normally play .5/1.00 so the jump to 1.00/2.00 was considerable, basically doubling our stak...
Saturday Poker - This was a particularly long game especially given the time it started. We got 2 jacks at about 5:00 PM and we finished at 2:00 AM. I went up $70 so it was a good day. I struggled about $20 up for 3-4 hours until a key hand came up with pautz. I had JJ in...
