Nautica!!

Up $540 in just over 2 hrs of play yesterday. Meats, RP, Colin, Gross, Lawyer Jen, Laidman, and Andre were there. Meats and RP were up, not sure about the others. I left at 7pm.

I did play about 4 hands of $2-2 limit, and won a $24 pot. My 10 kicker was good on the river when I paired my 6. John Coleman would have been proud. I even had 2 others outkicked, lol. Couldn't wait to get outta there. One of these days though, I wouldn't mind playing some $5-10 limit. One thing for sure, the limit game is exponentially less stressful than NL.

The play at my NL table was just awful again. Too many of them try to bluff the river. Bluffing earlier works a lot better. No quads this session, but I did catch the ass-end of a straight flush. I called $12 preflop with a 6-3 off from the button against a maniac. I hit a pair and went runner-runner SF to the 10. My pair was actually good until the river, lol. He had the Q for a flush, but not the J for top end of the SF.

There were 3-4 at my table that were degenerate gamble junkies. I played just about everything they did, and called all their bets. Most were bluffs.

That place is so awesome.

So, it's off to NC tomorrow morning. See you in about a week. It'll be a nice break from the game for a while. Even though I am on a bit of a heater, I am trying to keep balanced. Makes for a much happier situation. Gone are the days of playing at JC's smoke-filled poker den until 5am and going to work at 8:30. I was doing that 3-4 days a week, hitting the occasional casino, and playing online. I went on a $13k run but I was miserable. This new mindset is SO much better.
