Starting to get back into the groove

Really hating the idea of not having internet access at home but only going to rent there for another couple months so not worth it to get it installed at this point. Going without cable and a home phone as well because the builder messed up when they never put a line from the house to the cable box... going to be a bitch to fix it now.

This last long weekend I decided to go to Fallsview to play live against the fish. They have silly blinds for the max buy in allowed at the table... sat down at a 2/5 NL table with a 200 max buy in. Hand of the night had to be my limp of JJ from UTG which gets called by six others (no chance of getting anyone to fold so playing it like a small pocket pair!). The BB raises to $30 and five callers...

Perfect flop A J 7 rainbow. BB leads out for $60 and I smooth call. Super aggro asian behind me pushes for a total of $175 and too tight Jewish fellow calls for his last $60. BB goes into the tank which lets me know that I am way ahead or he is a great actor! Either way I am going to get my cash in the middle here as I don't have him raising that much with AA based on playing against him for the last 4 hours. He finally calls and then I reraise all in which is another $87 to the BB. He actually folds his AK which was impressive vs. all the pay so far this evening.

Asian guy had pocket 7's, and the Jewish guy had AK. JJ holds and I scoop a huge pot of over $700! Donked away about $150 before getting my ass off the tables close to 4 am and heading home to get up the next day at 9 am. Don't forget the 1 hour drive I have before getting to my place.
