Forget that I played stupid it’s all his fault. He shows KK, and I’m pissed that he didn’t re-raise me pre-flop. Turn and river are more rags – at least I remember it that way – and I’m check-calling Alex. BB checks I bet Alex raises BB folds I call. I raise, and everyone folds but Alex and the BB, who just call.

I boost it up a bit more, then am about to leave, satisfied that I rebounded slightly, when I get QQ UTG. Later I end up all-in when my flush draw hits on the river, which gets me back to $55. He re-raises me on the flop and I should’ve recognized. I lose another hand to Steve when he calls my AT raise pre-flop with 9To, and the flop’s 9 T X. I lose an early hand to Alex when I have KK and he flops a flush that I check-call down to the river.

The table’s loose and limber, but I’m donktastic. I’m about to pass out, but the other guys want to try to all play in the same 3-6 game at Bally’s, so I join in for a hundo. Betting on sports futures, props and lay bets.
