I went to Winstar today. I played $1-2 NL HE for 45 minutes until a spot freed up on the $2-5 table. I ran $400 up to $550 when I got AA on the button. I made just over a pot-sized bet when I raised it to $35. I got 4 callers, including Sooner to my right. The flop came K52. Check, check, check, then Sooner bet $150 into the $180 pot. I raised all in (a bit more than $300) and only Sooner called.
He had K2.
Stuck $400, I bought in again, had some moderate success, and cashed out at 12:45.
I drove to Dallas and played $0.50-$1.00 poker and was up pretty much the whole time (4 hours). Then, as I seem to do too often, I dumped about half my chips on the last hand of the day (my opponent had 46 to make bottom two pair.
I hope I got all the bad luck out of my system in time for the Vegas trip.
