Last night I planned on working overtime at my job but that plan went to shit when I realized the Seahawks were on Monday Night Football. I was out of the office at 6 p.m. sharp and met the homies at my house to watch the Hawks shit on the Packers. In the snow.
After they left (following 20 minutes of raccoon observing in front of my apartment) I headed to HP. Lately I've been thinking about setting goals for myself so that I can start taking care of business. For example, if I want to get a Treo, I should try and win $400 one night to buy it, etc. Because I've had a few losing sessions lately, I thought about setting my goal at $300 for the night. But I didn't and maybe it was a good thing that I didn't. I just wanted to go to HP for a couple hours and get my feel back after that 2-8 spread bullshit. Plus my boy Matt has been telling me about his sessions with his co-worker Miles and how they've been winning so I know I need to keep my game sharper than the rookies.
I won a monster pot with Ac7c against KK and QQ when the ace flopped. I lost a HUGE pot with AA when the flop came A-Q-3 rainbow. I checked, button went all in for $70, someone called and I pushed all in over the top. The caller folded. The turn was a J and the river was a K and the button had A-10 for a straight. Sick.
I took some people out with A-10 (called a river bluff when the board came A105-Q-Q), KK (me) vs. 77 all-in pre flop and AJ flopping two pair on the flop with a guy all-in pre-flop and one other player in the hand.
It was a great night for the following reasons: (a) I made $820 in 1.25 hours (b) I took one of the worst beats of my life with the AA vs. A10 and an Ace on the flop and (c) I made a good profit, making way more than I've lost, keeping the consistency in winning more in a session than I lost in a past session. That is a simple formula that will equal nothing but profit.
The reason I'm glad I didn't set a goal was becaue I undoubtedly would have set it at either $300 or $500, which means I would have left before winning $820.
That being said, in the back of my mind I had hoped to cover the money I spent in Seattle (which was a lot), so I'm going to add that up and see if I cleared it, which I think I did.
Seattle:
-69 (2-8 Spread)
-234 (Nordstrom's shoes for mom)
-53 (Lids, two hats)
-86 (Sonics team shop, shorts, two shirts, headband)
-55 (Macy's, gloves for sister)
-64 (Mariner's store, two hats)
-28 (JC Penney's, boxers and shirts)
-12 (Parking)
-30 (Seahawks hat)
-40 (Presents for aunts)
-60 (Arliss DVD for dad)
-10 (Office Space DVD for dad)
-60 (Miscellaneous, food, etc.)

Total: -$801
Damn, I didn't realize I spent that much and I'm glad I won it back!!
And I didn't have the $800 planned out, it just worked out like that.
