A fairly luck session. I got it all in twice as a marginal favorite and won both. However, I donked away a stack later played HU against a good player. It is always feels bad to work hard to build up a nice win and to blow it with one hand.

I have finally broke out of the saw tooth for this month. I am going to play another session later tonnight, so I am really hoping for another winning session.

Bonuni:
Holdem ($150): 1001 / 1050
Stars ($120): 181 / 600

I love playing passive people HU, it is just way too easy money. They check I bet, they fold. They bet small, I float them and take it away on a later street. They bet big and I fold. They begin to tilt and I stack them. At a I took almost 2.5 buys off someone in 45 minutes. It was good fun.

Best hand from the session:
Omaha Hi/Low $1-$2 PL (real money), hand #1,196,250,857

I was somewhat worried about AA but as soon as he checks to me on the turn I know it is A2 and therefore most likely he doesn't have the flush.

I am worried about how / when I am going to be able to move up. I have the roll for 3/6 and I think I have the confidence to play 2/4 but looking at both FTP and Stars the big money games just aren't that good.

Right now on FTP
- the biggest 1/2 game is $35 ave pot
- the biggest 2/4 game is $70 ave pot
- there are no 3/6 games running

On Stars
- the biggest 1/2 game is $40 ave pot
- there are no 2/4 games running
- the only 3/6 game is $61 ave pot

I was planning on making the move back to party when I hit 2/4 but obviously that is no longer an option. I can make around $35/hr playing .5/1 and 1/2 when it is good but I really wanted to start moving up into some of the bigger games. All I have to say is fuck you Bill Frist.

Bonuni:
Holdem ($150): 1014 / 1050
Stars ($120): 305 / 600
FTP ($600): 3/600

Played another short session in which I made a little bit of money. I played a bunch more 1/2 (there were some good games running at both Stars and FT) and this time I felt more comfortable. I am guessing that one more session and I will be able to attack the games like I do the $100. I am still worried about what comes after that beacuse I still don't see many > 1/2 games running on either Stars or FT.

I also played a bunch more NL and I continue to like it. I saw some of the most donktastic action I have seen in a while. Someone raises 10x BB and someone calls with 3789? I think it may have just been a good table, but people seem a little more reckless playing NL. Couple that with the ability to really hurt low chasers and I think I prefer NL to PL.

This is shaping up to be another big month even with the limited hours. Currently I am $750 up in ring games and $375 up in bonuses. All that over under 20 hours, for a little under $60/hr. I am going to end up at $55/hr for the last 2 months and $35/hr over the last 6 months. It is really a shame that the online gambling thing happened right when I was getting my game together.

Bonuni:
Holdem ($150): ???? / 1050 their damn tracking system is down again. I should have played enough to finish the bonus but I am not sure.
Stars ($120): 389 / 600
FTP ($600): 10/600

Gooper with the amount of money you are making per hour at your current level do you really need to move up? Just because you have the bankroll to play 3/6 doesnt mean you have to, there is not shame in playing below your bankroll to play better games. You need to save some money for that diamond solatare for the girl. Mom needs grandkids and it sure as shit isnt going to be me.


Something like this should do it.
