Good Seat Change, GREAT Month Change

A new month brings new results. How's $557.58 an hour sound? Outstanding. That was my hourly rate for the two weekend sessions I got to play. 12 hours total. I made back more than half of my losses in July in the basically one weekend of play.

Friday night was phenomenal. Everything I played was hitting flops hard, or just good enough to make the best hand and someone else a second-best hand that they felt compelled to pay me off.

Saturday night, I saw the biggest chip donor in a long time. Unfortunately, I didn't get much of his chips. He consistently overvalued his hands and pushed hard, he certainly wasn't afraid to put his chips in the middle. One absolutely amazing hand that I could not believe:


Roc
raised UTG with pocket tens. Donor 3-bets in the big-blind with ace-queen. Flop comes ten-jack-little rainbow. Roc and the donor are playing overs, so at this point the limits are now 80-160. Donor bets, Roc raises, Donor calls. Turn is a jack, giving Roc a full-house. 5 bets @ 160 each go into the pot, with the donor being the initial check-raiser! (check-raising with a gut-shot, although I think he was trying to represent the jack). River comes a king, giving the donor broadway. CHECK-BET-CALL!?!?!? He gets there on the river, and then just check-calls? I don't get it. Neither did Roc or the rest of the table. Good only just call sir!
