Did really well last night (must have been the leftover adrenaline from oral argument). Played on steroids basically. Opened my first two hands (unusual for me), so unknowns probably thought I was really aggro to begin with (AggroDumbo - ha!). Later get Ac4s, open CO, three ways to 4-Q-8cc. I cbet, only MAWW calls. Turn: 3h. X/x. River: Jc. Bingo! Even better, V leads out $60. I raise to $250 and she folds after 20 seconds. Call open with AQdd, flop the world on J-T-8dd and raise big otf, take it down. 3! AQhh early in the session, V calls with KQo and we GII on K-Q-3hh and I turn better two pair and double up.
Made good chunk at 5-5 5-card too, ended up $1,400 on the day.
Fun moment from oral argument:
80-year-old old white judge in a low, shaky, drawling voice that took up at least half of my oral argument time (I hardly got a word in edgewise):
"Could your client have just left if he refused to hand over his fare card to the officer?" (In a fare evasion case where a legal question was whether the client consented to the search of his fare card which the officer asked for after stopping him.)
Me: "Yes, he could have walked away since the officer didn't have probable cause to arrest him."
Judge: So you're saying he could have evaded fare and just gotten away with it?
Me: "Crimes go unsolved every day because the police don't have enough evidence, and this just might be one of those cases, your honor."
Lesson: don't consent to anything the police ask for.
