4/10/07

Another winning day in the books for me, although once again I was kinda lazy and did not really play as much as I would like. I started the day off playing 100nl on FullTilt for an hour and 10 minutes, and I lost around $45. I kinda wasn't "feeling it" much like yesterday when I was playing, and wasn't too happy with my performance. No real notable hands from this session, just lost a bunch of small to medium sized pots.

Later in the day I fired up PokerStars for a donk-n-go session. I did really well, playing 4 $25+2 6max SNGs, cashing in all four, and winning three, for a $217 profit. I've been doing fairly well at these lately, and will likely stick with them until I run up my BR on Stars a bit more. The player field is pretty soft for the most part, a lot of loose players, and I haven't really seen any regulars at this level yet, which is a good thing, despite not having stats on most of my opponents.

A little while later I got back on FullTilt, and was playing much better. I made back what I lost there earlier in the day, plus a bit more. I played for about an hour, and won $145 (not including what I lost earlier). The session started off slow, but it picked up towards the end. This brings to mind that I should be putting in longer sessions, not just these short 1 hour sessions. However, a lot of that is due to my nitty game selection.

Here's the hand where most of my winnings from this session came. Villain was a donk, hence the iso-raise on the button. I was lucky enough to flop trips with a better kicker than villain, even though my kicker was only a nine (lol).
