it was a very good day

any session where you are averaging 21.6 bb/hour is a good session and last night was just one of those sessions. it was one of those sessions where everything was going right: i wasn't starting with bad hands (although poker tracker says i saw 33% of the flop), my hands held up, and my opponents were calling with crap. i was sad to leave the game but i had set a deadline and stuck to it.

a couple of hands:
hand 1: "scary, scary, who's your daddy?" here's a hand that had a scary board until the river. i guess mr. 4s thought i was bluffing. and to think i was scared that he might have a straight.
TankSJ: 5 5

Pre-flop:
0s folds. 1s folds. 2s folds. 3s folds. 4s raises to $2. 5s folds. TankSJ calls. 7s folds. 8s calls. 9s folds.

River (board: 5 6 7 8 5):

Showdown:
TankSJ shows 5 5: four fives.
