Journal of a Poker Pro

I pretty much run white hot. There's no other way to describe it.

Played 3 hours tonight, good for $300. Played most of the 1100 hands with my favourite fish, who has now singlehandedly given me over $300. I will feel very sad once my poor friend has gone BUSTO. But seriously, he deserves it. I mean, I'm not a genius, but I pay attention.... and this guy is horrible. Everytime he has a good hand, he goes for a check-raise on the flop. If he's in position, he always checks through with a good hand and bets a bad one. It's like clockwork --everytime, without fail. If I get check-raised on the flop, I'm usually beat -- if he check/calls, he's going to showdown (usually with a weaker holding then me). Needless to say, he wins very little money off me, while I take him for stack after stack. It's such a simple pattern, but it's like no one sees it but me. He doesn't adjust, no one at the table adjusts, and I get all the moniez. Whatever, it works for me.

Anyhow - I hope I can do well in some tournies tommorow and crack that top 100 list. I will also update with my May stats at some point tommorow (pretty sure I will have cracked $4k for the month).
