What an experience I've just had...

After a short break I sit down to start a new session in the 0.1/0.2 cash games, its 19:00, and I'm throwing my money away via the blinds with only seeing AQ once and missing the flop with that, I move to another two tables after my original and then another table breaks up around me and I still haven't found a hand.

Its 22:00 now, and I still haven't seen a high pair or AK. I'm on a new table and see some lunatic capping the betting on the flop with nothing (T9s) after he raised to 12.5xBB pre-flop, he looses half his stack and goes all-in on the next hand, I get 99 and call, he shows AT and decimates my stack.

I add-on to the max, and sit patiently again, a little annoyed I made that call and blew 3 hours of patience, I'm now nearly $4 behind.

Another 50 minutes go by and I still haven't picked up a playable hand, I open up another table and sit down, playing at two tables for the first time with NL. After I've lost another 30c in blinds and limps with the odd suited connector I sit down at another table, and I'm now playing 3 tables at once for the first time, and my resolution is so small there all over lapping.

Then finally after 4 hours of waiting, I make a score, its a biggy AQ off suite, I flop top two pair, and theres no way I'm dropping this hand.

As soon as I've noted that hand down, I find QQ on my 3rd table and stack another guy.

Long story short, its 23:32 ET. its taken me 4 1/2 hours to make 2 cents profit  Grin

I'm just glad I finished without a loss though, it could have been much worse, and it certainly was an experience, especially playing 3 tables at once, you miss so much detail, but being only able to play your cards at this level anyway I guess thats ok.

He's capping the betting, so it's limit. But he raises to 12.5BB pre-flop, so it's no limit. And next hand he goes all-in, so it's definitely no limit. But then again...

Its NL, bad way of putting it, but what I meant was, the two players in the hand, minimum re-raised each other until one of them where all-in.

Tip: Don't play when you're tired.
Tip: Don't play if you can't remember the game is NL or L.
