Holllllaaaaa

Life is rolling along and its rockin. Parties are fun, classes are decent, and my friends are cool as always.

My dorm floor had a floor Texas Hold em Tournament. We started with a good amount of chips(advantage: me) and a decent blind structure(advantage:me). 12 guys entered and top 3 got prizes. Anyways, after like 2.5 hours i ended up taking it down after defeating one of my roommates, Tony, heads up. I was easily the best player there, but i also had to get lucky to have all my hands to hold up. I got in with the best hand each time, and it always held. Woo. I played way less pots than everyone else, which is odd for me. However, i know when playing with amateurs its best to just play solid and dont try to bluff them(they dont fold often). Overall, several of the guys definitely had some skill.

Ive been on a nice little run playing 3/6$ No Limit cash games. I could afford to move up to 5/10$ but these games are so juicy right now i see no reason to. Especially with school etc distracting me. OK Peace out.

Heres a cool hand i won after flopping nuts. turns out i had to dodge a lot of outs and was only a 61% favorite to take the pot.
