Nice to finally experience something like a heater again. Despite losing one or two huge pot with KK against the likes of Ace wheeee ten…I managed to grind out a nice profit today. Running good surely helps, and tbh I was really surprised that all the really big hands held up.

Exhibit A:
Pre: QQ, MP 1 seat before me raises to 3BB, I reraise it to 7BB, CO calls, original raiser reraise to 20BB, I flat, CO calls as well. (Pot 61BB)

Flop: 3c Jd Qc – Yatzee!
MP checks, I bet out 30BB, CO folds, MP reraises all-in, I insta-call (Pot 212BB) – MP shows AA – tough luck

Turn: K
River: 7

Cha-ching! (My All-In Equity 89.8)

Exhibit B:
Pre: AA, UTG minraises, I minraise UTG+2, Button flats, UTG flats (Pot 13BB)

Flop: 5s Jd 6h
UTG checks, I bet out 9BB, Button minraises, I think set or overpair oh well if you’ve got a set you got me – shove, instacall – Button shows: QQ (Pot 165BB)

Turn: Th
River: 6d

Cha-ching! (My All-In Equity: 91.62)

Had another three bigger pots, equity 98.38, 88.79 and 100 and amazingly all three held up. Noice!

That’s the way I like it and I can logoff with a smile…

I should really figure out if I want to be serious again about poker or not. The way I’ve been playing (making a micro-deposit that always has me against the wall) just doesn’t work, especially as I’m far from being tilt-proof.

Anyway, lost some really fugly hands…runner runner goodness…all-in on the flop…

Get runner runnered after 3betting pre and betting the flop and turn big…the only thing I could have done was to save the river-bet (5.75$) as I knew I was beat…fittingly I typed “love getting runner runnered with top set” into the chat box and called anyway….idiot…

Love getting the usual domination bs as well…

So I’m busto once more, disgusted and out of here…so sick…

After playing my second session today, I’m thoroughly tilted. Ran KK into AA getting slowrolled in the process…how nice of my opponent…

So I thought I’d better log off before I tilt-spew some more and while browsing and reading some email I found that PT4 has been release and that they were offering a 70% discount for PT3 owners…as owner of the “Small Stakes Edition” the upgrade was only 18$ that way…so I’m currently migrating the whole PT3 database to PT4 (which is done with the comfy setup assistant upon the first start of PT4)…that’ll run a while, I’ll report back once I’ve had the chance to use it a while…

The following hand really saved my session today. I was in a bit of a funk, but started to pickup some chips and then I finally doubled up. Nice, a cooler either way, but it’s nice to be on the good side of one for a change

Overall still running under expectation, but oh well, I’ll take it for now…
