Results for the weekend

I didnt get in much play over the weekend. Only 847 hands between Saturday and Sunday. I was preoccupied with other things around the house. Today it hit the upper 60's today which was a great change in the weather. I got roped into spring cleaning and doing some chores for my wife. In the process I broke our bedroom television... peachy... Anyway I digress.... Of my 847 hands 100 were played at 5¢/10¢. I decided I would play the 10¢ games occasionally if there are no good 2¢ games. I was getting dealt some bad beats at the penny games so decided to take move up a little less where its not sucha a gAmb0l mentality.

So of my sessions I am going to post my biggest winners and losers and track my bankroll on a daily basis.

I am not willing to get all my money in the middle very often, either against a player who has shown recklessness or when I have AA. In this case the situation met both criteria. Unfortunetly the donk hit the set on the flop. I'd make the same play again under the same circumstances.

In this case I had been playing heads up and 3 way with PARAINVEST for at least 20-30 hands and he had consitantly been playing loose and aggressive. I was concerned when the board paired the J, but at that point I was pot committed. I raised early because he had seen 90% of the flops whether raised or not. I was rather surprised when he showed the 68. I had been playing very passively, and shown big hands that I laid down due to overbets into the pot.

So for todays session:

Starting bankroll - $35.07
Ending Bankroll - $44.26
gain/loss - $9.18 (26%)

1¢/2¢NL- 304
5¢/10¢NL- 100

Hmmmm... I just noticed I must have missed tracking some hands. While I cleared some bonus I am fairly certain that it was not $7 worth... I will just have to live with these #'s though because UB doesn't allow you to request hand histories.

I was going to post a couple more statistics but since I am obviously missing some hands I think it is rather pointless.

Today I became aware that party poker offers steps into the WSOP. I think I am going to give those a shot as soon as I can get some $ over there.
