I'm starting to think posting about running good makes the poker gods smite me. Venting the inevitable bad beats that happen on the Rush tables, where cards fly and donkeys play.
Two pair getting turned against a better two pair.
ACES! I 3-bet you, foolish fool. 2 callers. AK3 flop. I get shoved on by A7ss. Woohoo!!!! Haha, he raise/called from MP with A7 soooted then shoved on that flop, he's my favorite.
I'm gonna celebr... wait... spade turn? Please no, please no, please... GAH!!! Yup, runner runner flush... he's no longer my favorite. For now.
The good news is, I'm still up 2 and a half buyins after dusting off two and a half. Not to mention, I managed to reign in my tilt. I see progress being made.
Breathe in. Breathe out.

Freerollin' the Dank!
Another BBT5 event in "The Dank" is tonight, as termed by everyone's favorite Waffles, and I'm free rolling! Alright, not really, but I got that itch for RUSH poker and won another buy in in just a few hands because some donk shoved on me with A6o. Too bad I had Aces. Thanks for the gift! I'll be sure to think of that donk when I win... then get into the WSOP... then win that, of course, too.
Donkey love. Not just for the furries.
Oh, and I heard buddydankradio.com is temporarily being hosted here for this tournament. Something about a stoner not paying the bills on time. Hah.

Running well, doing well
I'm up 3.8 buy-ins in just 829 hands at 10NL Rush. I'm running half a buy-in above EV due to the fact that I haven't gotten sucked out on. In other words, life is good, and the weekend Rush players are so deliciously horrible.
Here's a sample hand of how I won so much from the weekend donkeys:
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Hand Converter from HandHistoryConverter.com
CO ($5.69)
Hero (Button) ($13.09)
SB ($9.65)
BB ($5.70)
UTG ($48.36)
MP ($10)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 9
, 9
2 folds, CO calls $0.10, Hero bets $0.40, 1 fold, BB calls $0.30, CO calls $0.30
Flop: ($1.25) 9
, 10, 10 (3 players)
BB bets $0.40, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.80, BB calls $0.40
Turn: ($2.85) Q (2 players)
BB bets $0.50, Hero raises to $2, BB raises to $3.50, Hero raises to $5, BB calls $1 (All-In)
River: ($11.85) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)
Total pot: $11.85 | Rake: $0.79
Results:
Hero had 9, 9 (full house, nines over tens).
BB had J
, A (one pair, tens).
Outcome: Hero won $11.06
Love it.

Stock opportunity? Or end of the world as we know it?
Good God.
Read this.
Maybe I should start selling BP short. Should've done it as soon as news of the leak came out. Buy back in in a few months, maybe buy for real if they ever plug the oil leak and start producing oh, a million barrels of oil/natural gas a day.
Hrm. Of course, this assumes that the spill doesn't wipe out all ocean life as we know it. Which would then kill off a lot of our oxygen supply. Which would then... well... it's out of my hands. No need to think about that alarmist junk.
People will stop it. I hope.

Thorn's Big Mistakes #5
I think it's number 5, anyways. I forgot to keep track.
1. Brief recap of NL50
2. I need to work on my 3-betting
Alrighty, so first the brief recap. Not only did I get outplayed hard at 50NL for the couple hundred hands I played, but I also ran bad. I'm about 2 buy-ins below EV, KK falling to 88 all-in pre for a buy-in vs. an aggro-donk (seems to be a lot more of them at NL50), and losing a few races with AK vs. JJ, etc. Enough about NL50's losses (there goes my employee of the month bonus). Let's talk about improvement.
I need to improve my 3-betting before I get anywhere near NL50 again. For someone who likes to play aggressively in 6-max games, this is an absolute must. Luckily, thanks to this great thread on 2+2, I've found a ton that I can work on.
I'm heading on over to NL10 Rush, which doesn't require the heavily read-dependent 3-betting plays to win, to see if I can grind back some of my losses. 3-betting experimentation can come after I get $100 or so back.

Impatient
So PokerStars' latest promotion has just led to me popping $500 onto the site, seeing how tehy had a $100 reload bonus for it. Although you only have 20 days to clear it. Hrm. Seeing how I'm a 2-tabler, that's not gonna happen.
Or is it? I just jumped all the way up to 50NL haha. Let's see if my winning ways at 2NL and 5NL are transferable. First impressions after a thousand hands? People are way, way, way more aggressive. Too much so, in fact. I have people shoving on me with flush draws and no history on an ace high board.
Good thing my set held up.
