Haven't played much this month. I've had a lot of things going on like getting my alternator fixed, getting the wife's car tuned up for our trip to Chicago tomorrow, and today, on the hottest day the AC needed servicing . Have ever noticed how life happens when you're busy preparing for something else? It is so hot today. Birmingham set a new record today at 103 degrees. When I woke up at 6:00 this morning it was 80 degrees with the humidity at a comfortable 71%. Can you say "UGH!"
I managed to get in a very short session a few days ago. I played a little looser than normal, running at 25/18/4 which is way above what I'm used to playing. But after data mining I noticed this table was very passive. There was a point where I raised pre-flop 6 times in a row and never met resistance.
I had a few more ups and downs during this session but never felt the players would or could out play me. If I can find tables like this all the time I could really improve my bankroll and achieve my next goal of jumping up to the next level. Afer vacation I'm going to try out Sixth Sense to help with table selection. Thanks to Jared and Ryan for the info they give over at Poker Dynasty. They really run a great site.
In that light, I want to congratulate Flamm on his great run in the FTOPS event 1 last night (Aug. 8) He finished 54th out of over 4,000 people for a nice cash. It was fun railing and supporting you on your run. Hopefully I'll be in that position one day soon. Keep up with your efforts and great things will come to you.
Oh yeah, here's a hand to peruse while I'm on vacation. I'll be back in about a week. Comments are welcome and encouraged.

I strongly prefer leading out when i flop a low flush, 1 no one ever believes u. 2. if a club comes u are either beat or it kills all ur action. I no it sucks to bet and have everyone fold, but you have an opportunity for a much bigger pot if u lead, IMO.
I thought about leading, but this villain liked to take the lead in betting so I let him. I'm really surprised he called my turn raise, unless he thought it was a semi-bluff. I guess if I was in his shoes it would've been hard for me to fold.
