Hammer Time!!!

I've just about given up raising pre-flop at the .5/1 Party tables because nobody respects it. But here's why you still probably should:

I will no longer play on Wednesdays because I always lose money. I lost $10 in three hands on Wednesday night getting slow-played to death.

After that hand, I got knocked out of a $2 multi-table tourney when my pocket queens ran into pocket aces. My MTT finishes are actually getting worse.

But still, I dropped the HAMMER.
