Back with Small Win

1/21/2007

Today: +$39.45
To date: +$135.70
Bonus: +$150.00
Bankroll: $2285.70

568 hands *** 1.97 hours *** 23.42/17.25 ***

Back from a nice break. I took some time to relax and get ready for my new job which I started today. Not sure how much poker I will play while settling into my new job, but I'm going to try playing a little every other day at least.

I was up about 140, then I came back a little later and blew a hundo out my ass. It was nice to post a win after the beating I took before my break though.

Today: -280.55
To date: +$96.25
Bonus: +$150.00
Bankroll: $2246.25

207 hands *** .62 hours *** 23.67/16.91 ***

I shouldn't have even played this day. My mind was on so many other things. I found out in the morning that I was getting the new job I was interviewing for after all. I was meeting some friends downtown for dinner and drinks and I was looking forward to that. I was also real happy with poker cause my win from the day before put my ptbb/100 over 4.

But I had an hour and a half before I needed to start getting ready to go out so I figured I'd get some hands in. Here's some hands to see how bad I really was this day:

I have to fold this hand when i get raised on the flop, there's just no way my hand can be good. Only two hands I can beat here are 9s or 10s.

Good Day!

Today: +$240.55
To date: +$376.80
Bonus: +$150.00
Bankroll: $2526.80

425 hands *** 1.12 hours *** 16.00/12.47 ***

Nice win today. I should just call it a day and log a nice win, but I may come back and play a little more tonight.

I liked this hand. When I got reraised here I was thinking, uh oh aces or kings. I called figuring he could have AK or a few other hands since he was playing pretty loose. After the flop I was hoping he had the aces or kings.

628 hands *** 2.12 hours *** 20.22/14.33 ***

Had a string of hands that sent me spiraling. I knew I should have logged off after this set of hands, but I didn't want to log a big loss. These three hands were back to back to back.

very next hand...didn't even have time to reload

very next hand...played this bad I guess, but I was pissed
http://www.pokerhand.org/?729450

Of course I lost more after these three hands and was down almost 300 before I got back to down only about a hundo. Next thing I knew I was down over 200 again before I went on a heater and got back to down less than a hundo. Then this hand came up. I made a loose call here but the guy who was in that hand with me was reraising like crazy and his #s were 83/40 so I thought i could win a nice pot vs. him if i hit.

That hand put me up about 25 for the day and I was so happy I started unchecking auto-post buttons to shut down my tables and be happy posting a win after being down almost 300. Of course I lost about 20 on QQ before my tables were shut down, but I still posted a win and pulled out of the ass kicking I was taking.

447 hands *** 2.05 hours *** 8.15 PTbb/100 *** 19.46/15.44 ***

Had two mini sessions yesterday. In the morning session, I played well and won about $130. I wasn't sure if I should just log that win or play more. Well, I had some time at night, so I played some more. Didn't feel like I played that bad, but I did give some back and only ended the day up 72. Here are a couple of hands from my later session:

I have no idea how this guy calls. Love/hate the donks i guess.

Trick hand here. Not sure if it was a good fold or not. Maybe a bad move calling the raise on the flop, thinking maybe i should have reraised or folded. Didn't feel good going to the felt with this hand. Happy I didn't go broke here, but I still think there is a good chance I had the best here.
