Didnt play any online poker today. I wasnt going to play at all, but after getting done watching the movie "The Birth of a Nation" (Holy shit, I have never seen a longer, more boring, or more racist movie in my life) for film class, I by chance bump into a friend of a friend who is looking for people to come play poker in his nightly game.
I'm like, "Sure, I'll play. How much are you guys playing for?" to which he replies, "Just like $10." So about a half an hour later I am sitting at this guys' friends appartment watching womans wrestling waiting for the game to start.
When it finally did, it was all business for the rest of the night. I had played with a few of these guys once before and knew they were not too good. All I had to do was play solid and I was pretty much garunteed money.
And so it went, me folding away all my trash, stealing the blinds when I could, ect. Nothing super exciting.
[I dont feel like telling the rest of the story in detail. I was just practicing for english class anyway. Turns out the guy who was chip leader got QQ over TT once, AA over AK another time, AA against top pair, and topped all that by hitting a royal flush!. I was chip leader for the longest time until my AJ got busto by AT. That dropped me down to third, but I doubled up through second place a couple hands later, effectively putting me in second and him in last. It remained 3 handed for 2 hours, so we just decided to split the pot 40/40/20.]
I was please with my play, never really losing a big hand (besides AJ vs AT), and making some sick reads that would have been impossible online.
Overall, I made a few more friends, got access into an easy regular game, and built back up my confidence from losing most of my roll sunday. Hurray!
