Anyhoo, the one 5/10 table was full with a waiting list, so was the 10/20. So, what do I do? Of course, I go and make myself breakfast.
Wrong. I jump in at a 15/30 for a few hands:
I only got in 12 hands before the table broke (WTF), but they were nice hands...
Everybody knows I like to raise first in with suited aces...

And of course, when the game gets short, you have to expand your horizons. This guy tossed a bluff at me, and I kinda went weak, but ended up winning the hand anyway.

His flop raise didn't feel like a 2 or a 7, but when the T came on the turn I got a bit squirrely and played check-call. I had put him on an Ace-rag hand, and probably got fortunate that he didn't hit his kicker. I also feared that on the flop, 3-betting would have either A) chased him out or B) gave him more incentive to call anything on the turn I gain with the free card play 3-bet. I know I played it weak, but it was still nice, and a nice bankroll builder...
