Good Luck, DP

Islanders giving Rick DiPietro his first home start in over a year tonight. Against one of the hottest teams in the NHL, unfortunately. The two points would have been better entrusted to Rollie, but I guess you have to get your 15-year man playing sometime...

Thought about going out last night, but decided to stay in and play a little poker instead. Had a good session, with a win of a little over $300. More of the same in terms in terms of my ever improving discipline; my largest loss was 43bb with two pair vs. a straight. Considering both hands were there on the flop, I seriously considered releasing the two pair early against my opponent's strength - but given the relatively short stack, I elected to pay him off. All-in before the river three times, twice on the flop with sets (91.4% and 90% equity respectively) and once preflop with 45% equity (AKo vs. 77; my aggressive opponent had 3-bet with position and a 70bb stack, and called my shove.)

Got my morning coffee; currently registered for three MTTs and about to fire up some cash games...

Current Bankroll: $14,081.94
Last Session: 1697 hands; up $322.25; EV $220.44
Month To Date: up $1,323; 7.88 bb/100
