Bull The Brave Plays $30/60

I worked on website stuff until I couldn't stand it anymore last night.  Then I just wanted to play some poker.  I opened Poker Stars and couldn't find anything good at $3/6.  No tables above 26% view flop per the lobby numbers.  I decided to take a look at $5/10, and the results were similar - no loose tables.  I continued to scroll up the list looking at the numbers in the view flop column.  They remained tight and uninspiring until I finally saw a "43%".  Eyes scan to the left....OHHHHHHHH...it's a $30/60 table....with an open seat....piss on it, I am in!

I belly up and wait 5 hands for the BB to come around.  The play is looking advantageous for me.  Two guys are seeing every flop, and one of them is seeing every turn.  I get ATo on the BB and call a blind steal.  I flop an OESD and bet out, getting called by Mr I-gotta-see-every-turn.  I turn the straight, and bet again.  I get called to showdown by an underpair.  I am up $147 on my first hand.  Surprised  That's a pretty good night at my normal limits, so after paying the SB, I fold around and quit after 1 orbit, Up $132.  I am such a puss.

I went over to those rockish $3/6 tables and opened one up.  I have a bit of an "I'm freerolling now" mentality, so I just want to see what happens.  What happens is the deck proceeds to smack me in the face.  (Oooooo, I so don't hate when that happens!)  Set of KKK - pay me.  Turn the flush - pay me.  AA on the BB, damn right you should be folding that turn - after you pay me!  Bam!  Another 20 BB racked up at that table in less than an hour.  It was late, so I went to bed.

Poker is so easy when the cards are coming, eh?!  It'd be nice to have a few of those nights in a row, that's for certain.  We'll see what happens tonight.
