Grant me freshman status

First day of class @ Berkeley starts today and I pulled an absolute freshman move already. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors commonly know that there is usually no section the first week of class. Despite previously knowing this, I still somehow went to my morning 10AM Section. Ten to fifteen min. into the class I realized that the reason the Graduate Student Instructor hasn't shown up is because section doesn't meet! AHh, I'm already acting like a freshman!

Slowplaying Aces

I knew the first position short stacked raiser had a big PP. This is why I wanted to raise him because I knew he'd give me all his money. But, he was so short stacked his money wasn't worth it so I took a calculated risk to let other people in the pot for a minimum raise. Another guy called w/ A10 and made the mistake of hitting his T. When the preflop raiser bet, i just called, then A10 man raises, preflop raiser moves all in, then i re-raise all in.

am i a poker fiend?

I found out that I was within the top 50 point earners for my online poker room for yesterday. Basically the more you play, the more points you earn. I spent most of this weekend playing poker, but apparently my pokerroom gives free money to those who place in the top 50. 1st gets $60, 2nd gets $50, then its $45, $43, $40, and so forth in that approximate interval. I got $28!
