took the afternoon off work and headed to the casino. Down $150 at 8/16 when my name came up for 15/30. I have only played 15/30 twice, once it worked out, once it didnt. This time it did, up 2 racks in 2 hours....time to get out of dodge.
A couple of beautiful plays for big pots (if I do say so myself):
1) bluff, 4  6 LP, I limp, button raises, blind 3 bets, 2 call, I call. Flop A 6  5 -not great, but not bad w/ the pot odds. 3 better bets, I call, button calls, others fold. Turn K  blind checks, I bet, all fold.
2) A4 LP, no limpers I raise. Blind calls (Asian aggressive calling station). Flop 10 7 6 rainbow. He bets, I raise, he 3 bets, I 4 bet. Turn 2nd diamond, he checks, I bet, river Ad, I check, and show my A, he folds.
3) JJ 3 bet preflop w/ 5 callers. Flop 977, someone bets, I raise, someone 3 bets, I call. Turn 8, 3 better bets, I call, other calls. River J, I check raise, all call, one shows A9, other mucks, ahead the entire time (I think) river ices it.
It is nice skipping work, getting paid for your time off, AND making over $200/hour.
 8)    :D

He knows. He also knows not to be too much of a jerk since I make more playing poker than I do working.
