    Back Home

    Made it there at 9pm, couldnt stop coughing, got a stupid chest cough and i started to get a fever as i was playing. I decided to play 2/3NL instead as i wasnt feeling to well, got up to a rocky start with this guy flushing me for $50. He never folded, always called every raise and bet. SOmeone should of told him its an option not a demand. Anyway had some nice pots, KdQd, flops the nut flush, guy checks i check, he bets, i raise $200 pot won by me, flush vs set of A's. Other big hand i had KQ again full house vs K5, just unlucky for him. Had half my tofu curry dinner and went home half dead, manage to pull in $550 today, nice little starter for both days. Will take a break to recover hopefully its not swine flu :(

    2/5 NL Starts

    Been sitting at home most of this year pretty much doing nothing in a bit of a slump. So i decieded have a shave put on a suit and go play some higher limit 2/5 NL at the vegas room for the first time. It was a bit scary at first cause these guys raise pretty much anything, but I soon got into the swing of things. Played twice once on the tuesday where i put in $200 and played for 4 hours, got as high as $600 then end of the nite i left with $220 :( Was a sick hand i flopped the nut straight with JdKd, with the nut flush draw, AdTd5h my hand is already made, so im only betting into it lightly. ANyway river card was a jackh meaning he could have caught up for a spilt, he bets $200 big bet i call. OMG hit a backdoor flush on me with 2-4h.
     
    Well that behind me i thought ill try again on friday nite, had a super crash table, 2 tight players, 1 drunk and 1 super LAG from europe. Best hand of the nite was me calling that LAQ for $100 on the river with only J high, i put him on a small straight draw and i was right. Overall the nite started bad with me losing $150 but i slowly stayed to my game and finished the night with $1050. So i pretty much put away my starting money in my wallet and kept the profit in chips as my bankroll. Hope to save enough to play in the AAPT in Manila or hit the Korean poker clubs.
     
    Anyway now its 7.44pm here Saturday nite, nothing else to do again so having a shower, put on my suit and hit the 2/5nl table again and see how i go. will report tomorrow on the progess.
