Quick update on yesterdays play.....

Yesterday i had another really good session which resulted in me putting up some good numbers. I had to earn almost 1000vpp points on pokerstars yesterday to keep my supernova status ( http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/?utm_id=1) so i was able to get in around 6 hours of play. The tables were playing pretty tough but i didn't want to lose my supernova status so i grinded it out and really played some good poker. I am playing so 5/10 on bodog right now but i wanted to put up yesterdays numbers real quick. Anyways i am going to get back to the games but here are a few hands from yesterday and check back later to see how i ended up doing today.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1138735 - here i hit a great flop for JJ but i don't like having 4 players in the pot. I make a standard continuation bet here and once this guy calls i have him on a draw or a mid pocket pair, maybe 44. The turn is a great card so i just decide that once i bet the 180 I'm playing this all the way if he shoves. His river bet kind of threw me off but i decide just to call here because i think if i push all in the only way I'm getting called is by hands that beat me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1138766 - nice little 800 pot with ace high. I almost thought about folding here even though i was pretty sure i had the best hand. I was very confident i had the best hand but ak is still a drawing hand and i really wasn't in the mood to race for 800 on a coin flip. But after thinking about it for a good 20 seconds i kind of felt i had to make this call and pray for any decent flop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1138780 - here this guy just gets extremely unlucky. Set over set is just impossible to get away from here especially 6 handed and anyones going to go broke with 88s here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1138786 - this was really the only bad beat i took yesterday and luckily it was a small pot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1138796 - i would not suggest playing 96 in the bb facing a raise but here i am getting sick odds in a 5 way pot so i call the 20. I hit a decent flop for my hand and lucky me it gets checked around giving me a free turn which is a 6. So now i have a pair and flush draw and with no one showing any real interest on the flop i fire out 90 knowing even if i get called i have a good amount of outs. Once he calls i put him on some type of weak Q or a hand like 56. Now i hit a great card on the river giving me the flush and now its time to figure out how i can get the most chips out of him. I know he has a very weak hand here so i could check hoping he did have like 56 and would bluff but if he had a hand like qj he would just check behind me. So i make a bet that looks like I'm scared and when in reality im betting the 100 to entice him to raise thinking I'm weak and it works perfectly. Again i don't see any need in re raising his 250 because what hands is he going to call my re raise with? I had already ruled out him having a set so there is no need to push here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1138823 - here i pick up JJ against a pretty aggressive player. I know he continuation bets this flop with any 2 but will likely shut down on the turn to me if i call the flop. I know that he would probably check even kings here in this spot but i have him on ak and decide to check behind. Now you could make a argument that i need to bet here to protect my JJ against letting him hit a K or A on the river but what am i going to do if i bet out and he shoves all in? So i decide that I'm happy with the pot as it is and am glad to just show down the JJ.

Daily total- 2,294.54

Goal/Bodog roll- 5,630.53 (hopefully will be higher by the end of today)

Shopping spree/ Nice little session on stars to pay for it haha.

Today i was able to put in about 3-4 hours on pokerstars and ended up with some decent results. Okay i didn't exactly go on an all out shopping spree but i did pick up a few things that i have been meaning to get for a while. I really didn't plan on playing at all due to the fact of it being about 100 degrees in my room but i went and bought an air conditioner and was good to go. I also bought a cable to hook up my lab top to my plasma and I'm surprised at how well it actually looks. I only screwed around with it for like 10 minutes but i brought up pstars and it looks like i will now be able to play 84 tables at once haha. Also the factory CD player in my explorer has been broken for some time now so i finally splurged and bought a new CD player that will be installed tomorrow. It was with the open item products but it is actually brand new, pioneer just came out with a new model of these so best buy had a few left they were getting rid of.
Here is the CD player http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069880_291147601,00.html
I'm not really a big car audio guy but i was able to get it for 260 and a 30 dollar gift card so i just thought this looked to good to pass up. Well that pretty much sums up my day of shopping now onto my poker session. The only site i played on today was pokerstars. I played 4 tables of the usual 5/10 nl and there were some pretty weak players at the tables handing out money. I am going to put together another lengthy session tomorrow so check back to see how that went. Oh, i almost forgot to mention i took my first decent hit playing omaha yesterday for about 1500 but it was mostly due to bad luck. I was playing my usual very aggressive style and when you play like that you A) have to eventually make hands after creating your maniac image and B) when you make a hand not get drawn out on and i couldn't do either of these. Its not really a big deal because i feel i was playing well and really in control of the table but the cards just didn't go my way, what are ya gonna do? Anyways here are some hands from today's session and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1134977 - here i luck box another flop and thought for sure once he called my re raise on the flop we would get it all in. Once he folded the turn i was really surprised and i still have no clue what he couldve had here???
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1134981 - this is a good summary of some of the donks that were playing 5/10 today. K8 off facing a raise preflop is horrible then calling me down is even worse.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1134985 - here I'm getting sick odds to call so i take a flop and hit top 2. My original plan was to check raise but once this idiot bets out 100 under the gun i am a 100 % sure he has a big over pair. So rather than just shoving all in and hoping the board doesn't pair i elect to just call and bet hard on the turn. Board doesn't pair and the monkey isn't capable of folding an over pair.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1134990 - don't really remember this hand
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1134992 - I would check raise the flop here in many situations but these guys were kind of short and i didn't think they would fold. So i turn my double gutter and after seeing the guys j10 i think it was a good play by just calling the 40 and not getting it on the flop for like 250 with a draw.

Daily total- 1,804.55

Bodog bankroll/goal total- 5,630.53 (played 3/6 for like 5 minutes then bodog crashed)

Day 14.... pretty solid day

As the title says i had a pretty solid day on the tables today. Unfortunately i had some things to do today and wasn't able to play in any of the big Sunday tourneys but i did manage to get in about 4 or 5 hours of cash games. I played on all 3 sites again today so i will talk about each site individually starting with stars. I wasn't really going to play any 5/10 on there today but the games looked pretty soft so i figured it would be -EV by not playing. I 3 tabled the 5/10 game for around 4 hours and was able to pick up a nice little profit on the day. I was playing fairly aggressive so I was involved in a lot of decent sized pots i would like to show you but the stupid site where i usually link the hands to at the end of my posts forgot to pay for their domain haha. I guess they are supposedly working on getting it taken care of so hopefully they take care of it so i can keep showing hands. On full tilt the 5/10 games were looking unusually tough so i decided to play some 3/6 pot limit omaha instead and it was a roller coaster. PLO is usually a game where you are going to have big swings in your win/loss rate but the way i play plo its even more swingy. When i play the 6 handed plo games i am raising probably close to 80% of the hands i get and you cant be afraid to drop a few buy ins by playing this way. The people at the table started saying shit thinking i was some stupid maniac player and that's exactly what i wanted them thinking. So i started off by getting sucked out on a few times and was down about 1k after a half hour but i knew that with the image i had created it would only be a matter of time before i get it back. Long story short i eventually started hitting some flops and had some hands hold up and after about an hour i went from down 1k to up about 1200. Last but not least is my play from bodog. I only played for about an hour of 5/10 on there today and did okay i guess for 1 tabling and the short amount of time i played. There wasn't much action on bodog today because i played so short but i think i can easily continue beating the 5/10 game here simply by playing ABC poker, which isn't doable on FT or Stars. By playing ABC poker i mean not really doing anything fancy because i really don't think the players are that good on bodog and theres no need to get fancy against weak players. Well that pretty much sums up my day in poker so check back tomorrow and I'm out.

Daily total- 3,723.60 (215.94 bodog) (1204.85 FT) ( 2,302.81 Stars)

Bodog Bankroll- 5,578.58
