Yesterday I Played .50/1, Today I Played 5/10

Yeah yeah, so I'm a degenerate taking a shot at a 5/10 game with my $6k roll on Cake. I was planning on taking the day off, but I happened to open up Cake and was very surprised to see a 5/10 Full Ring game running. I opened up the table and I had notes on one of the players that he was a donk. He only had $630 so I decided what the hell, I can afford one bullet for a shot at him, so I bought in for $650 and sat directly to his left. I left 26 hands later with $141 in profit :) He left, so I left too, but it turns out one of the other players at the table was the real mark...but oh well...I probably shouldn't have been sitting in the game in the first place. I figured the way this month has been going though, I can risk 1/10th of my Cake roll on a shot and it's not really going to make things much worse if I lose the buyin.

This was the only significant hand that I played, and it's important to note that I just watched the Remix video on DC yesterday which talked about this play, which is known as a "back raise." The player who squeezed had been raising a ton and had already squeezed once, so I was certain I was ahead of his range and was ok to go w/ the hand preflop.

P.S.~ Thanks for the compliments. Maybe one day I'll have the confidence to upload some of my original songs too. And Julie, yeah I can certainly take requests haha. What do you have in mind? I love hearing new songs...and learning them :) Oh, a/s/l? Are you single? Haha I kid, I kid.

Dude, I vote for post one of your original songs. Would be cool to hear.

As for cover songs, I have it on good authority that all chicks dig Elliott Smith covers. If you want me to send you any mp3s of his music, let me know. :-)
