OMG!  When will the lobster insanity stop?!?  So the first place that had the lobster sale now has $4.99/lb lobsters.  By comparison, the lobsters at the second place that had $3.99/lb lobsters are now selling them for $8.99/lb.  I remember buying a jicama (softabll sized root vegetable) with Mrs. Fly earlier this year, and that cost $5.00.  I know we're in a recession, but surely people still need to eat - and people aren't so crazy that they would rather eat root vegetables than lobster?!?  So anyway, we'll *have to* schlep to the Shop Rite and pick up like 7 lobsters - 3 for us for dinner and 4 for lobster rolls tomorrow...

It will soon be G's birthday.  So we invited my family over for a birthday bbq on Sunday.  I think this time the ribs will be awesome!  Trip report next week.

HANDS

The worst hand I played this month.  Lately there's been a trend to minraise the button very wide and to call a high percentage of 3bets IP.  TBH, I'm putzing around with trying that out.  Anyway, whenever someone calls 3bets very wide, you can widen your value 3betting range.  AQ is a value 3bet anyway, but vs this particular villain, it's the nuts.  So my plan was to barrel all three streets, because you have to do that once in a while to get called down when you have premium pairs.  But somehow, while multitabling (aka "clicking buttons"), I accidentally clicked the "fold to any bet" check box after the flop.  So I missed betting the turn and river before I caught my mistake.  I tilted myself into making a river check-raise where I basically rep nothing.  GG me.

When playing so many tables, misclicks happen.  It's important not to compound your mistakes by doing something stupid to compensate.  Don't let stupidity beget more stupidity.
