2 Sessions @ 50nl:

Today was a pretty successful day. It’s been awhile since I was able to win 10+ bi’s in a day. Playing poker never felt better, not just for the obvious reasons, but because I was ripping apart regs and fish alike. I’ve transitioned from 6tabling to 9tabling back up to 12tabling now, and it feels pretty good. Before I wasn’t able to concentrate on 12 tables well and I never picked up on a lot of table dynamics that I am now sensing and using to my advantage. I’m happy about this because now I can put in more volume in the limited amount of time I have to play everyday.

I found this hand pretty funny:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold’em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-StarsConverter Tool fromFlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($23.20)
Button ($81.90)
SB ($9.85)
Hero (BB) ($59.45)
UTG ($76.05)
MP ($68)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J
1 fold, MP bets $1.50, 3 folds, Hero calls $1

Flop: ($3.25) 3, 9, 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks

Turn: ($3.25) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $2.25, MP raises to $6.50, Hero calls $4.25

River: ($16.25) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $12, Hero calls $12

Total pot: $40.25 | Rake: $1.95

Results:
Hero had J, J (two pair, Jacks and nines).
MP had A, K (two pair, nines and threes).
Outcome: Hero won $38.30

Here, villain plays his hand in a very lol way. When he checks the flop he almost always has air. When I donkbet turn I am aware I am folding worse almost always, but he’s checking back so often that I don’t want some random 2 overs to get an extra card on me. He decides to raise, and I decide that he may have picked up a flushdraw with his overs or just decided i’m FOS. I’m crushing his range here so I call and the river is a complete blank. He never has a 9 here and when he bets 80% of the pot, he never has a 3 either. I superinsta-called him and got shipped the pot. The call button literally appeared for like 1/5th of a second before I had already called and wondered how dumb he must have felt.

I ran pretty hot early in the day, but not so much during my evening session. I felt I was playing well though, and only made a couple mistakes. I made a pretty lolbad call in one hand for stacks, but I think I’ve been getting better at finding the fold button recently.

My fortunes seem to have turned around recently, and hopefully all of you are running good too!
