Good to be back

I finally got to play an online session tonight. It went extremely well, with me winning $198 in 185 hands. That's over $1/hand and I even started the session by dropping a buy-in rather quickly. Not a ton of deep thinking hands took place (rarely do at this level) but there are some funny ones. Here's the chart:

Nice and swingy like we like it. I'm not going to go in depth with any hands as they are all pretty straight forward.

Blah
This hand was pretty bad by me. If the board was an dry Ace high flop, this would be so much easier to just dump and move on, but there were clubs as well as various straight draws so I was ok getting it in here. Like I've said before, I don't think it's profitable to be making big laydowns as this level as you will see in some of the following hands.

Speechless
This hand literally made me laugh. I don't mind his check raise on this board as it's a very scary one for a big Ace or a non-set pair. The turn over shove is just atrocious as he isn't getting called by anything he beats (especially 6 high lol). This is why I won't fold TPTK at this level.

Nice Cooler
This hand is the definition of a cooler, but there were ways I could have played this that might have prevented me from getting his whole stack, depending on his skill level. Smooth calling was perfect here as his bet is either a weak squeeze or a decent sized pair, so there was no need to try and get him to fold his hand.

I'm going to Lauren's tomorrow so no poker but I'm really excited to see her. It's been almost a week and that is pretty long for us. I think we are going to see that Superbad movie, which looks pretty funny. I just watched Knocked Up and I thought that fat kid was pretty funny in that, so I'm looking forward to Superbad. I will post when I get back...
