I Love Full Tilt!

I finally got my Full Tilt Account back, and after a few swap transfers, I had an account right around 2k. I decided to exercise some decent bankroll management so I only played 4 tables of .5/1 6 max. It went extremely well with me winning +$340 in 280 hands, which is about 3.5 buy-ins. It's a shame I couldn't do this at 2/4, but I can't be greedy, and this is a nice little rebound after yesterday's massacre. Here's the graph:


I actually ran really well and hit my first two outer in a long time. These are the big hands:

Glad this wasn't an indicator
When I lost this hand, I honestly thought it was going to be another rough session. His overbet donk shove was an obvious draw so AQ is an instacall all day for me here. I even had the Ace of clubs, but he still got. Luckily he was only a short stack, so it didn't hurt too much.

2 outer
I would normally lay this down or play it more cautiously in a higher limit where the skill level was better, but based on what I had already seen in this session, I wasn't ready to start making big lay downs. I also really felt this could be an overplayed AQ/KQ and possibly even a KT. When he called I thought he had QJ because a set seemed very unlikely (QQ/JJ normally 3 bets to neutralize position and 33 is possible but also very unlikely statistically) but that's what he had. I finally hit a two outer and won a nice pot. I poker stoved this range: {KK-JJ,33,AQs,KQs,KTs,QJs,AQo,KQo,KTo,QJo}
and my equity versus this range is 62% so a clear call. This is an obviously wide range, but I'm assuming the average player here is slightly below average.

Nice Hold
I was actually really shocked that I held here, especially since it was such a large pot. I figured I was up against an over pair and a flush draw or two over pairs, but I wouldn't have been shocked to see 45 here. This was a good way to end the session.

As for the life side of things, I came to Penn State today to clean out my closet and take care of some other errands. After going through my closest, I had 5 full garbage bags of clothing that I don't wear and now will be going to goodwill or someplace like that. This made me realize how wasteful I am, at least in the clothes department, and this is something I want to change. It isn't even close to New Year's, but I'm resolving to be less wasteful...
