This session was frustrating between the suck outs I was taking, and the fact I was card dead, I was surprised that I did not lose more the I did. After I was there for two hours I was re buying when I flopped bottom set, in a set over set over set situation. Yeah my pocket 5's we no good on the K 8 5 flop. So I re bought and actually got myself even pretty quick when this hand came down.

While in the Big Blind I checked my option in a 6 way pot with the 3d 6d. The flop of 8s 5d 4d came down. I checked and a loos aggressive player in early position bet $10.00, it was called by 3 people and then back to me, I raised to $75.00. I thought I may just pick up the pot here.....I was wrong. the original bettor folded and a calling station behind him, went all in for $220.00. I normally would fold here, but the way the session was going, i thought this was my best shot to book a win on the night or morning as it was.

I called and he showed me Ac 3s, the fucking guy had a gut shot wheel draw. he draw was no good as is the 2 came I would have a bigger straight. And on top of it now my 6 was live also. I started booking my win. The turn card was the 10c river was the 4h. He won the pot with A 3 high. I was furious, how in the hell does this guy play for all his chips here? So I played til the game broke at 7am, picked up my chips and did the Duke like walk that only I could do, and made my way to the Black Jack table.

At Black Jack i was able to not only cover my $75.00 at the table. But I was able to book a win of $180 for the day. So over all my session looked more like this.

My second session was also at Planet Hollywood, as I had planned to meet Highwaytime Mike there. it would be his first time checking out the new room. Both of us agree the room is solid, lots of room, and seems to be set in a good place. It's only a matter of time for this room to get busy again like, when we first started playing there.

This session was not long and not much too report. The only real interesting thing that occurred was that I had KK in back to back hands. And in both they were no good. the first hand, I was in the small blind raised to $15.00 got called by a short stack, I check the Ace high flop and he bet $25.00 of his $35.00. I just folded and bitched under my breath, the said, "Show me how bad your Ace was, he showed Ah 9h, and all I thought was figures.

The second hand actually involved Highwaytime Mike. I was now on the button with KK and Raised again to $15.00, once again a short stack called, then Mike while in the Big Blind re raised to $50.00. I thought about his raised and re raised to $150.00 the short stack thought for a minute then called. Mike folded quickly, but i could tell he was a little mad I re raised. But with the other player in the hand, i wanted to see the flop heads up at this point with the short stack.

I showed my KK, and the short stack showed 8c 7c. I immediately announced seven eight is real good, you win. Sure enough the flop of Jc 9c 8h came down, turn 10s, river 8d. So the whole board was in favor of this donkey. I just got pissed told him he was an idiot. Bitched over the next two hands, and when he said good hand and tried to shake hands, I said; "Think i wanna touch your hand? You are the last person at this table that I could give a shit about, fuck off!"

Yeah a little harsh but I think a little bit of build up from the last session was still there. I played a while longer, picked up a couple decent pots and called it a day. Decent win for the time spent at Planet Hollywood.

So my goals for this month are simple, I wanna put in 80 hours this month, doing approximately 20 hours per week. So far I have booked 16 hours so I am on schedule. Not a lot of hours about 40 less then what I had been playing overall the last 3 months. I would like to get my earn rate to around $30.00 per hour for this month, which I think is a real attainable goal. Basically I'll tryo to play shorter sessions, and maximize my hourly rate. I may also sneak in some online hours, but we will see.
