Day 63-11: +$78.00 (+20 BB at $2/4)

Level: +$351.50 in 22.60 table hours (+88 BB at $2/4)
Overall: +$671.65 in 131.77 table hours

I only needed about $30 to move up, but I liked my tables and kept playing. I had the most wonderful position against the most wonderful player. It's too bad he kept hitting his 5-outer on the river, because I could have been up $150 or even $200 tonight if I had not good-sized pots to him. Value bet, value bet, value bet...

I'll post stats tomorrow.

Hand 1: Value bet... whoops! Bye-bye $50 pot.

Hero has Ks Jc (two pair, kings and threes).

Hand 8: Enough making fun of my friend. This was on the second table. I took a stab on the flop, and got a runner-runner straight out of it. I probably could have check-raised the river here. Getting 4 BB from the villains makes me happy.

Why do some of your hands list your action as hero while other hands list it as the position? (BB is what caught my eye. Hand 7).

Your comment about the loss of a $35 is interesting. Why get hung up over the absolute dollar value while your other hands you seem to be focusing on the bets won?

The converter that I use (FTR) puts hero's position instead of "Hero". I manually go through and correct them, but sometimes I miss.

Why comment about the dollar value when it's a loss? I have no idea. Maybe it sounds more dramatic in my mind when I lose $$, but I feel good about winning BB.
