Poker update
Played 3 $5+1 SNG's at the same time, (hmm this is becoming common) anyways got knocked out at 5th on the first then won the other 2. I've forgotten how crazy it gets when you're heads up on 2 tables and still playing a third. Lots of window switching.

Heads up I had a 6000/2000 chip lead and I got J 10 of clubs I raise and he calls. Flop comes 8c 9c and like 3h. He bets 800 and I push it all in, I figure I had 19 outs to improve my hand, 7clubs to make the flush, 2 clubs to make a straight flush, 2 queens and 2 sevens for a straight, and then 3 jacks or 3 tens to pair up.

I felt pretty comfortable going all in with odd like that. since with 2 cards left to come out and 19/47 cards will make a hand for me.

Anyways, the turn comes as a 4 of spades and the river is a K of diamonds, I lose to his pair of 8's.

About 10 hands later I bust him, and win the thing.

(I'm playing while writing this, a $25 NL game, I bought in for $10 and I get delt 10 10 on the button, UTG (under the gun a.k.a. the first player to act after the blinds) raises to 2, gets one caller, and I sense an chance to steal or double up, I push all in with my $10.50 or whatever I had gotten up to, the first raiser calls and the second folds, flop comes 10 J 6 turn is a K and the river is a 2. No flush possible, and I take down his AK of diamonds.

#413239829: cdf12345 wins $23.75 from the main pot with three of a kind, tens.

Nice night so far,

--------------------------------------------------------- Countdown 11 days to spring break in vegas, and it can't come fast enough, I'm building a really nice bankroll to take with me.

If any of you hiptoppers are looking for somewhere to go for spring break check out vegas, I got round trip flights for $175 per person on southwest and booked rooms at the luxor on the vegas strip for $79, in fact I just rebooked them tonight cause luxor.com is having a 48 hour special on rooms in march. Check it out, and if you're going to be in vegas march 7-11 hit me up, ill buy you a drink!
