Well I was tired of hearing Landlord79 talk about how good he was running so I jumped into the waters at Bodog and played a little poker tonight. I played for about 2 hours and 2-3 tabled $50NL. I ended up winning $25, but I was down about $40 at one point, so I was more than happy with the result. I felt like I played OK. I made a couple of hands and even made a nice laydown. YEAH Landlord79 I can make laydowns.

Here is a hand that I should have folded. This got me stuck early on.

Here is one I folded, but it looked fishy. I think this guy flopped a set and rivered a boat after looking it over. I wasn't going to bet the river, but i hit my miracle card.
