What a start to the day!

I squeezed in a couple hundred hands this morning, and wow. The results were beyond anything I thought could be achieved even at uNL. I was 4 tabling, and here's a screen capture of my 4 tables at one point in the session.



I'm up a decent amount at 3 of my tables, but Table #3 I'm up to a ridiculous $20!!! That's up 375BB's. Here's what happend to bring that about.

Raised it up pre with QQ, flopped a boat. When the BB bet out I put him on a king, trying to get paid from Aces, or just excited that he hit a set and was betting it. I raised to entice him to shove at me, and unexpectedly, the small blind bumps it to $1, then the BB calls on top of it! I wasn't waiting here, action was hot and I knew I had at least one customer so I shoved my stack and both called, which I didn't expect but loved!



The BB who led out on the flop had AJ for a gutshot straight, a very dubious play, and was drawing dead. The SB had KT for the trips I thought the BB had and was drawing to his five outs for quads or a better full house.

At the end, I forgot to take of autopost blinds, and ended up playing one table for an extra orbit. True to today's nature I get dealt KK on the button. Raise it up preflop and get one caller. Flop came with 2 jacks and a flush draw, and he calls my cbet. The turn makes the flush, but I thought I might take it down with another bet so I fired again, and he calls again. Now the river comes and pairs the flop, so if this guy had any piece whatsoever, I'm toast. He's the type of player who easily called my preflop raise with JT, A2, any two spades, so I don't feel good about my kings at this point, and he bets a tiny amount, basically forcing me to call. I do, and he shows me this:


I don't know what this guy was doing anywhere in this hand, except he either thought I was "fos", or just felt like playing a hand cuz he hadn't in awhile. I'm voting for the latter.




So I may not get much more in for today, but I exceeded my daily quota of big bets for sure. Just for kicks, and because it's always more fun to talk about winning, I'm going to update my graph so I can see the spike from today. Probably do that up this afternoon.

Hey man, love the blog. It's cool to see you going from 0 and grinding it out at the low limits. It would be awesome if you had a progress bar so we could see how much money you've made!
