America's Birthday

So today was the Fourth of July, which marks the day America declared our independence from Britain. I hope you all took time out today to thank (or say a prayer for) anyone you know or come across who has served or is currently serving our country in the armed forces. Without these fine men and women we would not enjoy the freedoms that we have (like the freedom to pay >$4.00 for a gallon of gas =))

I've played a decent amount in the past two days, July 3rd really sucked, but the 4th was much better. The 25NL games were really good tonight, I guess because of a lot of people either loaded from 4th of July celebrations or just a bunch of donks on or what. I ended up making like 5.5 BIs tonight in about 1,800 hands and it felt pretty good. I was up as much as 7 BI but ran into a couple of coolers, grinded back and then a couple of more coolers when I finally decided to call it a session because I could feel a little bit of tilt coming on.

It really seems to me that I have been running into spots a lot lately where I'll flop a pretty big hand (either a set or two pair) on a board like TQ3r or something and get called on the flop by a donk and the turn and river will proceed to run out like J K or A K or K 9, etc. and more often then not the donk gets there chasing down with middle pair. This is definitely a profitable situation for us, and I hope that they keep calling when we can start fading too!

I have a bunch of hands I kept in a text file the past two days to post on here, but a lot of them are pretty standard or coolers so maybe I'll look back through and see if I can find some interesting ones and post them the next update.

Graph for the last two days:
That's about all I got for now, if you guys have any comments, please feel free to leave them or hit me up on AIM.
