La Center... woot.

Tonight I played the $4-$40 spread limit game at La Center once again. It isn't really a hard game to play, it's pretty similar to No Limit, though the bets are limited to $40 a pop. The players are far from spectacular there, and I've had reasonably good success there thus far. Tonight was not really that different.

They started a new table just about right when I got to La Center today, and right off the bat it was entirely nuts. Everyone was betting $40 pre-flop all the time, and there was literally a time that you couldn't see a flop for less than $10, it was a very very loose game. Just the sort that I normally thrive on.

The problem is, with a loose game like this, you have to have at least a FEW cards or you lose a lot of money really fast. Which I did. I lost about $150 in the first half hour, not having caught even one pair the entire time and feeling very frustrated that there was so much money being thrown around and I was powerless to get my hands on any of it. I finally caught KK and suddenly I had my original $200 back in front of me plus $3 to pay the next blinds.

The rest of the night was pretty much a grind, and... despite a pretty dry spell of cards the entire night, I made steady progress. Here are my stats for the night:

Cash Bankroll Starting Balance: $1000
Cash Bankroll Ending Balance: $1262
Absolute Poker Balance: $115.64
Full Tilt Balance: $807.60
Plus or Minus for the night: +$262
Plus or Minus for December online: +$85.65
Plus or Minus for December live: +$462
Plus or Minus for December: +$547.65

I'm fricking rich. Woot.
