Last post of the year

Had a fantastic poker weekend online. Saturday night I crushed the heads up .50/$1 cash game, well one player in particular. I initially lost $40 to him, but reloaded and got it back fairly quickly. Then he just kept reloading. All in all I took him for about $300. :)

I also sat at a 1/2 table for a bit the same night because Jonathan Little, the frontrunner for WPT Player of the year was sitting. I didn't end up making any $ at that table, but I was able to bluff out Johnathan with Q6o from the big blind. He raised the button, I repotted him and he called. I fired a cbet on the flop and he folded.

I satellited into the $250 Sunday Brawl knockout tourney on Sunday as well. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the $ but I did manage to take out two people before hitting the felt, so that made me $80. :) The satellite I won was only $8.

I won a $22 sng last night too, but quickly lost all the profit from that in the cash games. Actually it's funny I spent about 3 hours playing and was up about $70. I took a break after winning that SNG (was playing cash at the same time) and then came back for 15 more minutes and in that span I lost all that I had made that session, and $30 more! :) Shoulda just quit when I did. Oh well.

Another sweet takedown

Yesterday was a very good day for me. I woke up early with a sore throat at got on about 8am. I took a shot a $75 tier three sng but placed 6/9. I just really didn't have any cards and the action at the table didn't leave me much room to steal. I did make over a hundred at the .50/$1 heads up cash table. I've been playing these a lot more since my last FTOPS cash. I'll buy in for $40 and usually double or triple it and then sit at a new table with $40 again. The player I made $ from is a higher stakes 5/10 player just warming up at the low stakes with me, so I was able to exploit his LAG nature by hitting big hands.

The big score though was a 1st in a 90 Man KO Turbo DS SNG. I played well and ran better, so that's basically what did it. It was a $26 buyin that I used a token for, and 1st paid out $576. Couple that with all the KO bonuses I collected at $4 a piece and I profited 634 altogether. That puts my account at 2300 now, but I'm probably going to cash out for 1300 and leave 1K in to keep playing with. We need to get some work done on Kristina's car before it's too late. ;)

After I sucked out this first hand, I basically went on total heater:

2nd time this called a preflop raise with trash and double with it against me, but at least I had chips!
