True, true. But of course it is a LOT more fun to say you caught runner-runner than to actually break it down logically :)

I'm over $100 now. I tried to save this guy a penny, but he didn't want it. (I never bet like this, btw - in case they raise and I disconnect or something... It's a bad idea).

And it's a lot more fun to say that someone caught a gutshot after flopping the nuts! So I guess we will have to agree to agree here!

I'm still steamed that Boobie was only sitting with $24.75 when he donked off all his chips to me after he flopped the nuts. I WANT MY QUARTER.

Damn - how freaking long does it take to play 200 raked hand on one table???

I was up over $110, but this hand took a lot from me. I may post this in the HSIHPT section too:

So, one tabling really sucks. I just took a break and got a bite to eat. I'm gonna finish off these final 60ish hands now three tabling. This should go MUCH faster. :)

And... done.

Three tabling is the way to go.

After 200 raked hands, I turned my $20 into $132 (all $25 NL). Thanks Empire!!!

Oddly enough, my TOTAL rake was $21.20, so Empire came out ahead a cool $1.20 too!
