11/27 : Exhausted

Whew, today was a long day. Class, Work, Class, Hurdle Practice, Regular Practice and then lifting. Luckily I got home and just won 3 out of 4 $55 turbo's to go up a quick $100 for the day. God knows I don't have the energy for anything else. Especially since I have to get up at 9am to shoot a movie tomorrow. It's been interesting this year trying to balance all of this stuff. Overall it's made for really sub-par earnings for 2007. While I watch players like Jmac, Phenom and BCM clear anywhere from 100k - 200k for the year while cashing in points for Porches and crap. I've made approximately 40k. My little 6500 slide earlier in the year hasn't helped, and playing no more then 15-20 hours a weak hasn't either. I've been playing probably 7 hours a week in general, sometimes less. Atleast I've played well when I've had the chance. Anyways, enough of that, here's some interesting hands of the day.

Huge Bummer of the Day (crap I left earlier and it didn't register):
maxv2 1300 chips [Qh Qc] raises 40 to 60
Villain 1700 chips reraises 100 to 160
maxv2 moves all-in
Villain calls [Ac Ad]
Flop: [Q78rainbow]
Turn: [As]
River: [x]

I had already won my other game, so for a second I thought I go lucky and ended my day right there. Nope. It really didn't upset me or anything, I mean I didn't deserve it anyway.

Summary: Again, I very rarely continuation bet on gutshots, but it was early and I was just looking to check-check the turn to get a free river...surprise surprise. Needless to say I was happy to see him move in on the turn (except for a small fear of Q10). I find it eases the pain to expect the worse when in this situation. Plus it makes seeing J9 that much better. Anyways, I'm going to sleep...early for once. -Max

P.S. I can't believe the Celtics let Drew Gooden beat them. *sigh*
