Played 118 hands at the 1/2 tables and made some crazy money: 21.36BB/100 hands at one table, and 48.08BB/100 hands at another. $71 total.

In the first session I think I played the same number of hands as usual (VP$IP of 18.99%), but just made the most of them. In fact, it got to a point where a pre-flop raise or first-in bet on the flop got a bunch of folds around the table, cutting into my win rate.

In the second session I got a good run of cards (VP$IP of 28.21%) and made most of my money from a few select hands: bigger flopped set beating a smaller flopped set, flush on the river beating flopped two pair (he slow-played it), and some others. Yeah. I’d rather be lucky than good.

I also watched HD at the 5/10 short-handed tables. Talk about variance. I don’t think I could stomach it myself. That 2/4 session last night was crazy enough as it was. Sure, it paid off, but it could have just as easily left me with nothing, preventing me from making another $71 today.

I think I’ll stick to 1/2 for now.
