Had a decent day today, running good once again on Full Tilt.

I started the day off with an hour and 15 minute session on FT 100nl 6max, which was a little swingy, but I wound up making $33.

Here's a nice river call from this session I made against a donkey, who missed his frush draw:

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $28.70

toohigh305 had (two pair, Eights and Threes) and WON (+$52.50)

Then I fired up JokerStars, and played my usual $11 1 rebuy/1 add-on, and the $27.50 Guaranteed, and went nowhere. I'm just gonna be playing these for a while 2 or 3 times a week I think.

After I busted out of the tournys, I took a short break, and played some more on Full Tilt. The session was really short @ only 15 minutes, but that's b/c I hit some very nice pots, and made one very nice play.

Here's my biggest pot of the day, against a donkey who wasn't gonna get squeezed, and decided to shove AQo over my 3bet PF with JJ, which held up:

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

Here's another standardish hand where I stack QQ on the flop with cowboys:

And here was that nice play that I mentioned, which I created a post about on 2+2 that got some decent discussion:

Uncalled bet of $60.50 returned to toohigh305

Pot Size: $81 ($3 Rake)

I felt really manly after that hand, lol.

At the end of the day I was looking at a graph for my play on FT 100nl 6max since I started grinding the level, and I was particularly pleased with how I've been playing over my last 5k hands. I've made $2.3k running at $45.50/100 hands. My only problem with this is that it shows I really should be playing more hands, as these 5k hands occur over a 18 day time frame, which means I've averaged about 285 hands a day, which really isn't a lot. Anyway, here's the graph of this sick run, possibly my best 5k hand run ever, and a very pretty looking graph for me as well:



So I wound up playing for 1 and a half hours total on the day at Full Tilt, 380 hands, and won $255, running at 17.7/13.2/2.4. Counting my donkament losses, I made $196 total on the day, not bad at all.
