Not A Good Start

June 28, 2006

Well, the quest got off to an inauspicious start.  The only hands I played were for a friend I was making a video for.  I played it last night after midnight, so it goes on todays tally.  That is how I will be doing things.  I usually play two sessions before midnight, and one after midnight.  Well, the one after midnight will go on the next days tally.

Anyway, I only played 59 hands and made a total of $74.05 plus $2 in bonus money.  I have no clue how much rake I made, that is going to have to come at a later time and date, when I get paid on the 15th of the next month.  So here are my whopping totals for today:

Hands Played: 59

Money Won: $74.05

Bonus Earned: $2

Total Money Earned $76.05

I didn’t have many eventful hands, but this one was pretty good:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with 9h 9c
Hero raises to $4.5, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: 9s 5d 6d ($14.5, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $8, Button calls, SB folds.

Turn: 4d ($30.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $25, Button raises all-in $95.25, Hero …………

Please feel free to comment on what I should have done here.  I will post the complete HH with results in the comment section.
