I played a short session tonight of only 27 hands. I am pretty tired and not feelng like I am on my game.

I had only logged in to observe games and happened to search for one of my favorite fish friends. I'll call him Joe. Joe is a typical calling station but he seems to squeeze out some wins. There is no bluffing Joe, but he will gladly play me off because of my aggressive style he has to make sure that I am not bluffing him. I always sit with joe to my right and joined the waiting list for his table. The table was relatively tight for a micro limit game 36 VP$P/7.2 PFR when I sat down.

I only got involved in one or two hands and was at -0.75bb when I decided I shouldnt be playing tonight. I decided to play until I was even. I had a small loss and was down 9bb when I got involved in the following hand with joe.

I reply "THANK YOU JOE"

The next hand I was dealt AJo, I raised UTG+1, 1 caller, *** FLOP *** [8h Qc 6d], I bet and win pot ($3.25)

That was the end of my session. I ended +6bb

my bankroll now sits at $106.15

An additional note:

I ordered Super System II and received it tonight. I look foward to reading some of the passages in it, especially the section by Jennifer Harmon on Limit Holdem.
