So I just booked my first +100k cash game day. I've had bigger wins in tournaments, but this is really satisfying. My day started off just multitabling 25/50 and 50/100 ring games and I was also playing the stars 5k freezeout. I got fourth in the freezeout (which pays nothing) and then took a short break. When I came back there weren't many games going. I played a little HU 50/100 with Stinger (aka Brian Hastings, aka LucLongley), and made a little less than a buyin before he had to leave for dinner. The match involved a lot of small pots and even though he's an extremely tough player, one of if not the toughest I've played, not a whole lot of pots that would make for interesting discussion came up. I guess there was this one, which was pretty weird:

I was up about 40k on the day at this point. Then the day got exciting. IDreamOfJenna sat to play me at HU 100/200. It started out poorly, with me losing about 50k right off the bat. This hand happened less than 20 hands in:

and he quit, with me up just over 60k on him.
And now I'm sitting at my computer, sipping delicious whiskey (Michter's Bourbon, highly recommended), and making a blog post. When I'm done, I'm gonna go get a delicious hot dog at Spike's Junkyard Dogs and then head over to my frat, AEPi, for a little sunday night party. My life could be a lot worse.
