Decent Day
Posted by MaxPen on February 2, 2006
Started out today playing some $100 NL short handed. Did OK during the day, took a break to eat dinner and all hell broke loose. I got AA and raised it, got two callers. It was a low flop with a possible straight draw so I bet the pot. One folded and one called, turn was a blank and I went all in to chase him off the draw. He called and hit his 4 out gutshot straight draw to take the pot. One buy in gone.
About 10 minutes later I get AA again on my other table. Flopped the set and someone pushes. No flush draw, no straight draw, nothing. I gladly push the rest of my stack in and come to find out, he was pushing with the second pair on the board. So I quickly won back the buy in I had lost 10 minutes earlier. Not much else happened other then those two hands, just took down a bunch of small pots really. I only got in about 500 hands and finished up $48.10.
I did play nine $11 SNG’s on Stars tonight. I took 1st once, 2nd four times and one third and cleared $72. I probably would have taken another first, except I ran into fellow ITH’er niin and he smoked me when it got heads up. He was very aggressive and played very well. I could use a lesson from him when it comes to being aggressive.
I need to start spacing out my start times on the SNG’s though. I was heads up in 2 at a time and it got to be a bit much. I thought I had spaced them enough, but a lot of people got bounced pretty fast in the second one and it made the timing off a bit.
I think I might take a whole day on Saturday and just play SNG’s and see how I do. I am playing pretty good lately and I am confident in my game. It would be nice to see a full days results instead of these hit and runs. Oh yeah, I just deleted the last two days of Jan. It was screwing up my record keeping, so I will just have to accomplish the goal in 28 days.
