Goodness me. Last night was the best night for poker I've ever had. To set up the scenario, I had lost a lot of money on the weekend playing 2/4 limit. Apparently the cards just weren't with me and I played a little too aggressive in spots which cost me more than I probably should have lost. All told, I lost about $160 or so on Sunday which is the single worst day of poker I've ever had. Ewww. I quit, examined my game for awhile and thought about it a bit. I had some terrible luck, but I knew that I lost more than I should have. Monday night I played for an hour or two and won back $40 which was kind of nice.

Then last night happened. After I finally stopped playing around midnight, I was up $207 that night - my best night of poker yet. It pushed me solidly into the profit column again!

The hilight hand of the night was a $79 pot I won when a guy decided he wanted my big blind.

The table folds around to the button holding AJo who raises (as I would do). The small blind calls and I reraise with QQ. Button caps and both the small blind and I call. Flop comes QJ5, 2 diamonds. Small blind checks, I bet, button re-raises and small blind calls. I re-raise and everyone calls. Turn is an A (no diamond). Once again the pot is three-bet. River is a blank. Small blind gets out of the way at this point (probably had a flush draw), and I win the hand with trip queens. Sweet.

So with last night's winnings, I'm not up not only my $180 in bonus money I've cleared so far, but also up about another $100 on top of that. Yay!
