Poker Extravaganza Night 4: Destination Foxwoods.

We went to Foxwoods last night around 7pm and stayed until about 5am. It ended up being a worthwhile session. J-Z (formerly "J") gave me some tips about how to play 4 /8 Limit Hold 'Em that really paid off. By the end of the night, I was up about $280 given a $140 buy-in. Mr. T (formerly "T") came out up $300. J-Z basically tore the room up and left up $800. Like they say in the movie Rounders, you never remember the hands you win, but you can't forget the hands where you lost big. At one point, I was down to $44 and had to fold something like 30+ hands in a row (which was a shock to me) before I finally caught some cards and built my way back up. Here were some of the highlights:

Probably my two biggest legitimate losses during the night were when I had pocket queens. I basically got beaten by undercard trips or pocket Aces. The other losses just involved me playing poorly. I had about one crappy win where I got lucky and I got two queens on the flop holding A / Q off-suit against pocket Aces. That guy was pissed.
