Internet is so nice

I have never been more grateful to have the internet in my life. I really felt Amish these past few days but I was a lot more productive when it came to errands and stuff like that. Anyways, I played my first session since getting the internet back. I only played 200 hands because I'm in between classed at the moment, but I still managed to make $86. I didn't get a chance to blog about my losing day. I played around 800 hands on Friday before the internet and lost a buy-in and a half. It was a really frustrating session where I was constantly getting three bet when I was raising light and then got zero action with my big hands. It was also very swingy with me being down $220 then back to even and then dropping a buy-in at the end of the session, resulting in me quitting right then.

Here's today's graph:


There were a few interesting hands so I'll post those:
Got Lucky I Guess
This hand was pretty interesting and I feel my read was pretty good. I felt this was a good board to continuation bet and double barrel if needed as it hits so few hands. Also, on boards like this, better players will often float you to induce a check from you on the turn so they can steal it on the river. On the flop, I felt he was on a hand like 66 or 77 because a 9 should definitely check raise, and same with a flush draw. The Ace hit the turn and was a great double barrel card and he called again. This was a little confusing and I had to hands like AT, AJ floating the flop and now getting there. I almost didn't realize I had made a straight because I was trying to figure out his river lead. His line kind of looked like a flush draw that got there, but he most likely wouldn't have played it so passively. He also could have slow played a few 2 pair hands, plus he could very easily have an Ace, so I'm ahead of too many hands to fold but there is no value in raising as I'm only getting called by a flush on that board. I really hate his river bet. He isn't getting any value from hands he is ahead of (which is very few) and his line didn't add up, so a nice pot for me.

Won a race
It was nice to win a race, especially when it was over by the turn. I wasn't thrilled by his call but it worked out.

Very Surprising
I didn't think I was actually going to win this hand but I somehow did. I was going to stab on the turn but I didn't want to push myself of my draw.

I might play again later tonight since I didn't really play much this afternoon. I am going to get groceries and run some errands so we shall see...
