Not too shabby

I don't know if I discovered or rediscovered this today, but 16 tabling is for me. Nice increase in number of hands per hour, and maintaining the same 18.5bb/100 winrate. I managed to get in just over 1300 hands in about 1.75 hours. So I'm pulling roughly 743 hands/hour. 16 does get a bit crazy, but I found a moment in there that was calm enough to get a screen cap.


















Some of the tables are much more hidden than usual, but it wasn't bad at all. At this point I really don't need to watch tables anyway, so when action's on me it pops up, and I quickly evaluate and make a decision, then go on to the next one.


So here's the tracker stats for the entire day. I got in just over a couple thousand hands, which was nice, but I need to get more in. I made solid progress towards my next bankroll target, netting 17.4% of my goal. I'm hoping that I can get there tomorrow or the next day, but I'm almost positive life's going to get in the way of that.

















As a note, I played extremely positionally aware today, significantly so. I don't know if my aggression level is too high, as I did press several nut hands very hard, blasting opponnents off their holdings. A review of these pots would be good to look for necessary adjustments in strategy.

A nice little histogram depicting the number of +EV and -EV bets I made for the session, sorted by bet size.















Here's the final EV graph for the day. I won more than EV said I should have!!! Feels like a victory even though it's not a great thing, lol. Nice to be on the lucky side for a day. Paradoxically, the reason for this outcome is that hands where I was a solid favorite held up more than average. I did have one suckout at the 1359th hand where I flopped middle set versus a made flush, getting it all in. The board paired and I won, EV (-$0.41) winnings +$1.24

However the beat I took was rather severe in comparison. Here I flopped bottom set and got all in on the flop versus middle pair plus a flush draw, which left them drawing only to a flush and the board couldn't pair. Here my EV was +$1.62 and winnings (-$4.83) a tough beat to say the least, but my only of the day.

The true nature of my above EV day lies in the hands where I was a solid favorite and won. At approximately the 1211th hand, the 1466th hand, and the 2025th, I got money in with AA v KK preflop, value bet bottom set versus top pair weak kicker through the river, and got in on the flop with a full house versus an overpair respectively, winning all those hands. These wins were enough to spike my money won over my EV for the day.

Here's the graph
