I only played for about an hour at cash games today, playing a bunch of sit-n-go's on Stars. Here's how I did:

Played in 11 $25+2 6max SNG's, and won $180. Cashed in six of them, winning four. Pretty good day on the donk-n-go front, but my main concern is cash games...

Again I didn't really play too much today on FullTilt, as I was running around a lot of the day, and kinda wanted to build up my Stars roll a bit.

Anyway, I played for .95 hours, 234 hands, and lost $26. Definitely a lacksidasical day on the cash game front, I decided to stop at the end of the session b/c I didn't really like how I was playing. Here's one WTF hand where I decided to float this guy, b/c I convinced myself he had a small pair b/c of his small 3-bet preflop:

Uncalled bet of $35 returned to BB



Yea, terrible I know. Another case of fancy play syndrome against a 2+2'er:

Another case where I put my villain on a small pair and get burned. He played this hand well, whatever he had.

Despite not playing much today, I learned a valuable lesson from these two hands. There's no need to get fancy and try to outplay decent opponents (both had TAGgish stats) when there are certified donks at the table. I should be focusing on playing the donks, and not playing back at thinking opponents as much.

Here's one more kind of interesting hand, where I float this megadonk (stats were like 80/2/1) who was playing like a retard, I'm almost positive I didn't need the river:

So overall I'm up $155 today, not bad, but I should definitely be logging more cash game hands.
