Dodging Bullets

Played for 10 hours today and ended up winning $10. Using a Texas Instruments "calculator" device, I discover that this works out to an earn rate of one dollar per hour. For those of you with mathematical backgrounds, please correct me if your equations come out differently.

John H from North Carolina showed up today, and the whole seven hours we played at the same table I did not win a pot of decent size. I couldn't even win by stealing and hitting perfect-perfect: I called a $6 raise with Q7 of clubs and checkraised the $10 bet on a 652 flop to $35, got called, hit runner-runner 9-8 for a straight and still only chopped the pot.

The rest of the time I was laying down trips, top pair, and otherwise dodging bullets.

When John left the game I was down $250, but then I went on a little run to get back to even. He now leads in the sidebet race by two. Plenty of days left to retake the lead.
