Seriously, I've never had anything remotely close to that happen. I put pictures of both of them on my blog. http://www.nealmason.com/poker/ is the direct link to them.

Sadly, I was only playing 1-2 with my roommate. So I only won 350 in the game...

I didn't have anything really interesting happen yesterday at the tables. I played at the Venetian poker room for a while and it was loaded with a bunch of tournament players.(a good thing) The table I got seated at was over aggressive and completely donkish, with your mix of calling stations in there as well. Typical tournament players, they were also sitting on some pretty deep stacks which they have no idea how to play. Anyways, I got no cards and no flops in my favor really for most of the night and was about even when this hand happened.

A young asian lady sat down two seats to my right and preceded to raise it to thirty dollars before the flop three hands in a row after posting her blinds in middle position. She was under the gun the fourth time she did it and the guy on my right (calling station, blufftard) called and I was dealt pocket eights. We were seven handed and I thought about re-raising her, as she only had $250 left, and I'd be happy to get it all in with her. I opted to just call and possibly bring along some others and hit a big flop where I could maybe stack some of the tourna-donks. We got just one more caller on the button (British guy getting a massage, who was a calling station as well).

The flop came out 762 on a monotone flop. She says "same bet" and bets out $30. The player to my right folds, I decide this is a very weak bet and she is unlikely to have much here. Typically my hand is not very strong here, and should be thrown away facing action in a multi-way pot. This was not one of those instances. I raised to $100, the British guy folded and it comes back around to her and she instantly calls. The turn pairs the 6 and she bets $100 at me with about $23 behind. I decide if she had me beat then she would have put it in on the flop so I just put her all in. She calls and says "ace king" so this means I am ahead and only have to dodge an Ace or a King on the river. the river was a blank 3 of clubs and I scoop it up.

There were really no other interesting hands that I played yesterday.

I put this hand up on my personal blog www.nealmason.com I was killing time waiting for friends to come over to watch football. Who says the games online are dying??? This table was 70/15 vpip/pfr.

I play professionally in Las Vegas in the low/mid stakes games. I will try to start updating on here as well as my new personal blog www.nealmason.com Once I figure out how to use this software as well as my personal blog I will start putting up pics. Right now it's a work in progress so just check back here or my personal blog. If you want to just skip to the poker section of my blog here is the link for that. www.nealmason.com/poker/

Here is a picture of Tito Ortiz sitting across the table at a juicy 2/5 game that I was in at the Hard Rock. This is the kind of stuff I will be posting in my poker section.

Crap I can't get it to upload right... anyways, pics on my blog. I will figure this out later.

Still running good.

I win.

I really wish I could put some hands up but I don't have the patience to find a hand converter. Maybe later. Regs on stars are A+ imo. I didn't really play at all on Monday so I lumped that short session in here. I made a stupid play and just shut it down after giving a guy without a fold button 60 bucks or something.

Games were good, I ran hot like the Sun. GG donks on stars. If someone could tell me how to post hand histories I would appreciate it. I'm hungry so we are going to get a beer and some wings from the Yard House. I highly recommend it.

I finally got pt3 to work. I am upset that I don't have my old db from pt2 but whatever. So my wife quit her job to go to school full time and we've both been really slacking lately. I haven't been putting the hours in that I need to be for playing full time. I am trying to remedy this. So here is what I've done since I got to pt3. I will try to update this blog more frequently and post some hands when I get time.
