Some Hands; Almost Ship

In AP 20r, played three hands in a row, opponents had aces three times. Never had that happen before. Cracked 'em twice. Even I want to run like me:

I'm not normally one to knock people's game, because I like when people play badly cause it makes me money and I just generally don't care that much. Plus it annoys me when people berate people to make their own ego feel better. And hell, it's not like immune from playing badly, God knows it's happened. But I did notice that Glowgreen actually won a WSOP main event seat. And honestly, I have no idea how that happened. I'm putting the over/under at how long he'll be in the tournament at, say, six minutes.

Or he'll win the tournament. Nothing in between.

Got headsup in 15k $109 on Stars, turned down a chop for $7k and play for the rest to play it out cause I was better than the other player imo. But couldn't getting anything going, then ended on this:

Tried to get tricky, may as well have reraised it was all getting in there anyway. Oh well, what can you do. Still, almost $6k cash, good way to start the month. Especially since I only have three cashes so far this month for the rest of the tournaments. And they were both rebuys, and in both of them I still lost money for the tourney lol. But only need one cash if it's the right one.

Also lost a flip for big chip lead at FT of AP 9k, that was annoying. Had great potential, there were only 45 people in the tourney that day because there was some sort of problem with registering, I wasn't able to register til the minute before. Overall, was hoping for a really big day but suppose I can't complain. I run good when I play 13 hour days, which is what I did Wednesday.

Won't play much this weekend I don't think, Chicago Blues Festival going on and friend's birthday, plus I think I'm buying a new TV because my current one is cracked and annoying the hell out of me. And because what the hell, should spend my money on something.

Speaking of money, it takes Bodog for fucking ever to send checks. I ordered two over a month ago and I still haven't got the first one yet. I did get one from AP already that I ordered three weeks later.

I've made $33.75 from rakeback so far. I'm rich.

Still mad about the Lakers losing Game 1 last night. If you can go from "I need carried off because I can't walk" to "I'm fine" that quickly, you should be in Euro 2008, not the NBA Finals. Just sayin'.
