I make 750 dollars an hour!

That is some extrapolation :)

But I did make 250 dollars in 20 minutes at NL 100 at Pacific Poker. I was bored before class and figured I will play a little bit before class today, so I sat down with 90 dollars at NL 100 at FISHY pacific poker.

I ran my stack up to 105 dollars before picking up AA, I raised to 4 dollars from early position, person right behind me reraised it to 12 dollars; MY EYE LIT UP, that was not even the best part, the button RERAISED 25 dollars more!! This was a no brainer, I pushed all-in and got called by both players, CREATING the biggest pot of my short cash game career, 315 dollars. AA against 2 ppl, while still a big favor, can be quite vulnerable sometimes, but in this case, I was up against KK and AKs (what a loose call), so my Aces held up and I dragged in the biggest pot of my life.

Two hands later, while I was still awed by the big pot I just dragged in, I got involved with AQ against the same 2 players (one guy still had 80 left, the other one had 23 left), flop came Q xx with two heart, I bet, got raised by the short stack, the 80 dollars guy cold-called, I call too (mistake, should've reraised here), but anyways, I checked the turn, short stack went all in for 13 dollars more, 80 dollars stack called, I only called.. By this time I am 99.9% positive that 80 dollars stack is on a flush draw, or maybe KQ, but I definitely have him beat, so this makes my calling on the turn a HUGE mistake, I gave him a cheap draw. On the river, flush draw is busted, the board looks harmless, I checked (inducing a bluff since I was sure that I had him beat).. BLUFF HE DID! He threw a 47 dollars river bet at me.. oh boy, I was hoping he'd bluff, but still 47 dollars is pretty convincing, but since I was so sure he was drawing, I chose to call.. HE SHOWED A BUSTED FLUSH DRAW.. except HE BACKDOORED a straight!! He picked up a gunshot draw on the turn and made that deceptive straight on the river.. Gah.. played that hand so badly and cost me 80 bucks..

But my ran of cards continues, I picked up a 50 dollars pot 2 hands later and my stack up around 280 again.. before picking up another AA!

Even crazier things happened this time, I was BB, UTG raised to 5 dollars, some guy reraised to 25, the guy right behind him CALLED! After a moment of disbelief I pushed all in, got called by the original raiser and reraiser (one guy had 40, the other had 60), my Aces held up again but this time I didnt get to find out what they had.

So my stack was nearing 400, before I dropped 50 dollars when I had to fold KK to a big 80 dollars turn raise by a very solid player with a big stack.. oh well.. the point is, I still made 250 dollars in 20 minutes! I love poker!

Besides this mini-session, I have been running OK, just trying to claim the 300 dollars bonus in TGC and made about 200 dollars on blackjack bonus last week.. breaking 3k for the new year.

School has been going OK, I am trying much harder since the last post, I have been doing homeworks more carefully and going to OH and stuff. I bombed my math midterm and redeemed myself in 131A midterm, I think I did well in MAE 182A midterm (I get to find out the score tom.) and EE 115B is only like the hardest class ever and I do not know what to expect..

The next 3 weeks will be focused more on school, school is priority right now and I can almost see the END!
