December 5k - Session 18

Bankroll: $499
Level: $3/6 (Moving down to $2/4)
Hands: 3526

I'm going to move back down to $2/4 next session and build back up to $600. I did three things wrong this session.

1) I got frustrated by a couple suckouts
2) I didn't stop when I started to lose focus
3) I didn't play well

This adds up to taking a break and moving back down for a little while. I'm still aiming at 5000 hands, but it still looks too far away to reach in the next couple days.

December 5k - Session 17

Bankroll: $793.50
Level: $3/6
Hands: 3336

I have my doubts about making 5000 hands before Monday. However, thanks to a couple awesome suckouts I'm still going strong. They turned an average session into a great one.

December 5k - Session 16

Bankroll: $636.00
Level: $3/6
Hands: 3163

I played a slightly extended one-tabling session this morning. I seem to be doing okay and I'm now feeling pretty comfortable with the level, so I'll dive into two tables next time. I've only got $236 to lose at this level, which is just a little under what is needed to run two tables at 40 BB, but if I forget to buy in a touch short at one table, it's no big deal.

December 5k - Session 15

Bankroll: $617.50
Level: $3/6
Hands: 3049

I played a very unfocused session. I'm actually surprised that I'm down so little given how poorly I think I played. I'll probably stay at one table for the next session (which might be later tonight if I become less tired).

Wow... I have little to say except that variance makes me unhappy.

Hand 1: Maybe I get away from this when it's two back to me. The problem with the T-high board is that it allows KK-JJ to go nuts with worse hands.

Results:
Hero has Ah Ad (one pair, aces).
MP has Kh Kc (one pair, kings).
Button has Tc Td (three of a kind, tens).

Hand 2: I didn't want to cap the turn because then I would be in a position of bet-calling the river against a tight villain. Stupid 3-outer...

Results:
Hero has As 8h (two pair, aces and eights).

Hand 5: This is just another bad spot.

Level: -$201.00 in 2.18 table hours (-34 BB at $3/6)
Overall: +$470.65 in 133.95 table hours

What a rough start to $3/6... On one table, it seemed like I couldn't catch any breaks. I also ran into my old problem of being unable to handle very aggressive players. I may have to drop down again really quickly. I can only buy in for $99 at one table next time.

Hand 1: When it rains...

Preflop: Hero is CO with As, Ad.
2 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 9h (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks.

SB bets, BB folds, Hero raises, SB calls.

Results:
SB has Kd Jd (one pair, jacks).
Hero has Js Qc (one pair, jacks).

Hand 4: Maybe this was a bad river raise, but I thought it was pretty solid at the time against a relatively aggressive player.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7c, 7h.
3 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, Button calls.

Hero bets, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, Button calls.

Results:
Hero has 7c 7h (three of a kind, sevens).
Button has Td 9h (straight, queen high).

Hand 5: I flop the nuts with a redraw to a better hand, and it gets chopped 3-ways.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8d, 6d.
UTG calls, MP calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 5d, 7c, 9d (5 players)
