After having two losing sessions, I played two $10 SNG’s. Lost the first one (bounced in fifth) and won the second. Whew!
I’m still a big loser from those limit games, but my bankroll has only suffered a 16BB loss instead of 30. Thank God.
Time to go to bed while I’m “ahead.”
The good session was followed by two bad sessions. Ugh. Down -30BB for the day.
Ditto the last line of my last post.
There are better places to read about it; I’ll just tell you what it did for me in one session:
58 minutes, 72 hands
VP$IP: 16.67%
Won $ at SD: 60%
Aggression: 1.04
Up +15BB
+20.31BB/100 hands
I could have been more aggressive, and on one hand in particular, it would have netted me a LOT more money:
Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Ac, Ad.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG 3-bets, Hero caps, Button calls, UTG calls.
Flop: (13.50 SB) Jc, 3d, 6s (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG calls, Hero calls.
Turn: (9.75 BB) Tc (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG calls, Hero calls.
River: (15.75 BB) 6h (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks, Button checks.
Final Pot: 15.75 BB
Main Pot: 15.75 BB, between Hero, Button and UTG. > Pot won by Hero (15.75 BB).
UTG shows Kd Kh (two pair, kings and sixes).
Hero shows Ac Ad (two pair, aces and sixes).
Button shows Jh As (two pair, jacks and sixes).
Outcome: Hero wins 15.75 BB.
I have much to learn.
I’m beginning to suspect that those two amazing weeks of profit were a fluke. Which isn’t to say that I don’t expect to win out over time, but probably nowhere near as much as I did those two weeks. So far this week I am up +14BB at a rate of +3.89BB/100 hands. Haven’t had much time nor desire to play, though. With classes coming to an end and final projects due, I’ve spent most of my time off the tables. Tonight was the first time I was able to put in some serious time, and it just wasn’t paying off. At no point was I up by more than 9BB. Mostly I’d get blinded down, or chuck my cards after the flop, then win a smallish pot to keep me at the same level. Boring. After four hours of this, I turned off the computer, ate some food, and watched Rex the Runt instead.
