Bloomfield

Haven't updated in a while so now's a good time.

Montreal sucked for poker. Everything else was good. The electronic tables is just too weird and unnatural and the players are strange too. I ended up losing everything, -850 and spent about 150 going out so i was down to 0 when i got back home.

The following week and a half i just messed around online but just kept breaking even. Not worth it to play online. Eng's cashed out $600 for me and let me borrow to help me get back on my feet so the next day i went to AC. The drive was annoying and i almost fell asleep going there so already i wasn't 100% to play, but i was already there so no turning back. I played for about 3 1/2 hours or so and wasn't up at all during the whole time except near the end when i got a guy off a hand where i would've gone broke.
I made it 12 to go utg with TT, 1 caller and button makes it 35. I call and other guy calls. Flop comes Q Q 6, 2 hearts. i check, other guy checks and button bets $100. I guess i was just getting fed up with not being able to find a spot so i figured now's the time. I pushed for $207ish more and he instantly felt that his hand was no good. He started thinking out loud and said he had JJ and that i must have aces or kings so he folded and i showed the tens to get him on tilt a little.

Not much happened after that so i left up $140. A nguyen is a nguyen.
The next night i played at Bloomfield with Kevin Yen since he's been going there pretty frequently. Didn't pick up any big hands and just grinded up $80 and then we left.

So tonight i went to bloomfield again by myself. Kevin was there but he left kinda early since he had work the next day. I bought in with 300 and at about 4:30 am left with $755 for +$455 session.

I'm pretty grateful for cards holding up and things going my way considering 4 days ago i had literally $0. I thought i had $60 in the bank but apparently Wachovia took it since they overpaid me 10 months ago when i randomly quit.

So now i'm up to $1250, $600 of which is eng's but the plan is to grind out Bloomfield next week mon-fri or maybe AC trip on the weekend. I think it's more practical to just play there rather than the city since i'll save $8 on tolls and who knows how much on gas. The only concern i've had with playing at bloomfield is the security but nothing's happened to them in the last 2-3 years so i guess its pretty safe even though its next to newark.

I guess we'll see what happens,
later.
