Paying to see the flop is similar to paying taxes, except that you pay the tax before you gain the revenue. It's incredible how often, when I try to get cute and avoid paying tax on a marginal hand, I'm punished by a flop which would have given me a great chance of winning. I don't get cute as often as I used to, it's true, but I still do it a bit too much.
Last night I saw a bunch of players come and go at my table, but hung in there until I was able to realize a small but decent profit. My last hand, I won a pot of $17,800 with a full house, deuces full of sixes; I'd been dealt a pair of deuces. I always have a good feeling when I get dealt that hand, since I've turned it into at least a set on more than one occasion.
delta: $7,900
balance: $840,195
