I didn't sleep last night.

It's 7:20 AM, and since I'm not sleeping and I have yet to sleep, that can only mean one thing!

I went to Barona alone after bowling last night to satiate my thirst for action. I was driving home and just kept going....all the way to the casino.

Anyways, things started off like crap. As I was waiting for the $1/$3 NLH to open up, I decided to brush up on some limit skills. Unfortunately, I forgot how different and terrible that game can be. I immediately lost $70 in the first few minutes. I dont think I even made it one round before getting the call to the $1/$3. I couldn't pick up my chips fast enough.

So I sit with a bunch of donkeys, and only have $130 instead of $200. DO NOT PLAY OTHER GAMES WHILE YOU WAIT FOR YOURS!!!!!!

and I'm dealt AKh. I raised it to $12 and got 2 callers. Flop came A junk junk. I bet $24 and got 2 callers. Turn came more junk. I bet $50 and got 1 call. Turn paired the junk and I went all in thinking "Damn this was a short night." To my delight, he calls and turns over AJ.

Later, I got AKc so I raise it up to $12 and the second caller from the first hand (who is very loose) looks like he wants to raise. So I look at him and say "Don't you wanna gamble?" because he said that to the guy he played in the previous hand and made a call. So having had his pride tested, he goes all in for $150 and I instantly call. AJ again! Needless to say, I flop a K and its game over for him.

I played some more good hands and got all the way up to about $950 before hitting a really dry spell. Then I turned into a freaking donkey/fish/noob.

The play went from a full table to 5 handed, so the quality of hands I was playing obviously went down a little.

Mid position raise to $15 by some guy who is a solid player from what I can tell, I call from the SB with K10h.
Flop comes Js10d9d. I check, he bets $20 and I call thinking I have lots of outs and lots of ways to steal the pot.
Turn comes Qd, so I check again and he bets out $30 and I call again thinking my straight might be good right now.
River comes Ad. He bets $80 and I think loooong and hard about it.
I couldn't put him on a hand, but in my head I just wanted him to not have a diamond at all.
Needless to say, after about 2 minutes, I finally call and he flips over J8d for a straight flush.
There are many ways I could have played this pot. I supposed I didnt lose the MOST money I could have lost, but I also could have easily laid that hand down and not thought about it twice. But because I wanted to make a "Hero Call," I lost a big chunk of my stack for nothing.

Later I lost to a guy when he went was making small bets through a pot where he had AQ and i had Q2d out of the bb and flopped a Q with a diamond draw. He went all in on the turn for what didnt look like much when I insta-called him, but it turned out to be $100. That hurt.

In the end, I played from 1230am-630am.
Started with: $200
4-8 Limit: -$70
1-3 NLH: $545

Total proft this morning of: $475

and now it'd bedtime.
