I basically destroyed it...
I dont wanna sound like a prick, but i played near perfect.... especially in the cash game
First we did a little sit-n-go tournament, €2 buy-in. 9 players... one re-buy for each person allowed. i started off the first few hands raising with TT, flop comes 8 high, i bet around the pot, someone goes all-in, i figure if he has a set im gonna pay him off, other then that i must have him beat. he showed T high trying to get me out off the hand...
I dwindle a little until its 4 handed, i got now 800 in chips left when the blinds are 80-160.. so i say to myself its time to go the aggressive route.. I pick up pocket 8s and move all-in.... someone thinks for a while and calls me with a T-4 offsuit.. great! i busted him out... 3 players left... hand after that i get A-J.. i move all-in. big stack calls with A-4.. i double up,. hand after this i get A-9.. im all-in... take down the blinds. then i get JJ and im all-in, get called by same guy with A-5... hand holds up NS now he is out and im first in chips with two of us left.. we split the in a fair way decided by the number of chips we both got relted to the amount of money in the pot... I got €13 and she got the remaning €5.. i didnt rebuy either
Then we move on to the cash game.. max. buy in €5. blinds are €.05/.10.
I play ~fairly~ tight pre-flop as we were 9 handed and im not going loosey goosey with raggedy hands... i call a raise with QKo, flop comes Q high.. original bettor bets out, i raise.. everyone folds.
QJspades.. call a raise... flop is Ts-8d-6h. original bettor bets out, i sense a little weakness and raise him. he calls. turn is a 9s. i bet out big and take it down showing my cards saying "my straight flush woulda come"
then I see AA.. i raise it to €.80.. i decide not to bet too little cause i want people to pay to play this hand... as expected a few calling station make the call (3 to be exact).... then the player to my immediate left moves all-in for 2 more... i push my entire stack in as well cause if i just called or raised a little bit the rest would have called as well without a doubt.. (i had everyone in the hand covered which was nice) rest folds and the rockets hold up to his QJ suited. i take down a pretty damn big pot... i am now chip leader at the table and i decide to put in a 1000 in chips back in the case for my original €5 buy-in back. im now playing with strictly profit..
then i get pocket 8's.. call a raise to €.40 along with 1 other... flop is 8-6-A.. i bet out potsized, player calls, button raises all-in... i re-raise all-in. (i still had everyone covered).. other player folds.. the all-in guy had A-9 and i take another big one down... the other player who folded was giving me slack for going all-in with my set and not bleeding him for more money.. which in hindsight could have been done... but his smooth call kind of scared me a bit.. i figured he would just raise or fold on that flop. so i decided to push.. there was no flush draw possibe by the way.
then its time for KK... i make it €0.75.. 2 callers. flop is 9 high rainbow.. i bet out the pot and its mine.
another KK.. i bet big again and take the blinds. good!
another 3 or 4 KQs and QJs and QTs and KTs come along and i take them all down on the flop after a bet by myself or a raise, all on K and/or Q high flops
then another interresting hand came up.. i got Q-9o in the small blind.. i make the call... everyone checks. flop: first card i see is a 9..."ok starts good", second card is another 9.."oh my damn", 3d card Q.. "  ".. i check it... 3 other players all check along... turn is an A.. good! i check, 2nd player checks, 3d player bets out like €1.45.. someone folds,,, i think for a bit and call. big blind folds too. river is a T... im first to act as the small blind and i put him all-in as he had like 3/4th of the pot amount left in his stack.. he calls and i show my flopped boat. another big chunk added to my stack...
i started to show a few hole cards after i took down pots without having to showdown, because i wanted to keep myself honest, like showing a K-T after raising an original bettor on a K high flop and such just to make em trust me.. i was doing a few bluffs here and there but nothing too crazy as it was 9 players playing..
I was dominating the table... either I folded preflop, on the flop if i missed or didnt see an opportunity to steal it, or i took it down. I have not lost 1 showdown in the cash game all night! litterally!!!! and a 5-6 hour session it was.... absolutely crazy. all my best hands held up, no bad beats, made all the right decisions.... i came there with 15 in my wallet at the start of the night and left with about €40 (blinds were € .05/.10 so dont get it twisted  )
anyway just wanted to share my experience about a great night of poker!

In a game of that quality you can do very well just by drawing deep and making moderately viscious continuation bets once people get attached to their hands. If you make trips or better in a game at those stakes, you can usually bite off a pretty good chunk.
It's ok to set your white meat aside in your head but I have learned to avoid doing it on the table as other players figure it out and will sometimes start raising enough to put you in the red

*edit
sorry but all i read was alot of " i got a good hand, i got a good flop, I didnt get cracked ", and your all in all in all in strategy doesn't exactly work if your getting called everytime - too much gamble. but thats just imo.

VERY bad etiquette ( sp? )
Other then that , luckbox sounds like a great night though, no bad beat stories

Jacking off... i had 800 in chips and the blinds were 80/160...
Kainargh.. you quoted one part but left out what i said afterward "espectially in the cash game"
I dont know about you but if i have won every single showdown in 5-6 hours then yes i consider that pretty damn good
and this was the first time i ever did that, take my buy in back.. i normally never do it.
