Back on winning streak with 2 final tables, but crashed hard today. 2nd hand of the tournament I have K/K in small blind. Limp or two, then a raise to $250. I re-raise to $500 and one limper plus raiser call. Flop is Q/Q/3. I bet $1000 into the $1550 pot (starting chips are 4000). Both players call. Turn is a jack, I go all in. Limper folds, raiser calls with J/J for the 2 outer boat. Player down. I slink off to the 3/6 limit game telling my sad story to the players there, adding that they might as well chop up my $100 buy in now. Didn't work out that way as I cashed out for $188 3 hours later.
Cash games are running good right now, last Thursday bought in for $100 in the 4/8 Omaha, cashing out 7 hours later for $586, with one $100 high hand helping out. It was a fun one, knocking off a full house with flopped quad 6's. The player was in the hand and made a weak attempt to delay the game as there was less than a minute left. Tabled the hand with 15 seconds to go. Said player is loose and annoying so glad to bust him. Love getting the last minute one as nothing is ever safe. I had lost one earlier queens full of 6's to queens full of 9's with 5 minutes on the clock. Have seen quads beaten many times and even had my straight flush topped twice, all in a half hour.
So far a good week of poker.

I'm glad you got the high hand with pocket sixes. They were mean to me last night in the cash game. I had pocket kings and a guy flopped quad sixes on me. At least I didn't lose a lot as he was all-in. I raised pretty big pre-flop too but he didn't have a lot of chips so I didn't blame him for calling. I'm trying to stay away from that stupid spread limit game as much as possible but sometimes I need more than just tournaments.
Keep up the good work!
