This isn't a joke. Absolute ROLLER COASTER of a night. The first 4 hours (discussed in my last post) represented the worst online net loss I've had in a month. Then I come back the next 4.5 hours and log the best net profit session I've had (probably during the last year). I just finished my last 4.5 hours from 12:50 a.m- 5:30 a.m up +$494. So I won 10 buy-ins in 4.5 hours of play. This completely negates the session earlier and I finished my online session this week actually up +$66 in 24 hours. I'll take it, never been so relieved to be up just over a buy in. Everything went wrong this week until that last session. Also keep in mind I'm still clearing the VPPs and FPPs from playing 8-10 tables for a good amount of hands. It was a struggle but I did my job online this week.
How to win 10 buy-ins in 4 hours:
(It's only fair)
First drag a $185 pot with AKs. A short-stacker pushed $18 all in pre over my open and I called. I was relieved another guy behind me also called. With the short-stacker out of the way there I was, myself and the 61/7 toolbox left to fight it out. This was going to end in disaster or fortune. Board
Kc 2c 4d Ah 8c
I didn't want to push this all in pre-flop because we happened to be deep stack for this format. I bet $20 on the flop villain calls. I shove $50 on the turn he CALLS. Villain shows JJ. WOW. I know it's normally a good play because the two outer comes against me every time, but for real?
Next, attack one of your most hated regular's blinds and stack his stupid ass. I stole with 8Ts and turned a nut straight. He instantly stacked off with a doomed set of nines. His fault, he could have raised me out pre-flop but he wanted to play for the big pay-off (like I'm going to ever pay his set-mine off anyways, haha). I know this guy was shocked, he couldn't have had the 8Ts hand in my range. +$140 pot there.
Next hold up all in preflop AKo > A5o. I open from MP and a psycho jams me $54 all in pre-flop. I had to call based on the villain. +$108
KK > JTs +$103. All in on the flop over-pair kings holds against top pair T, jack kicker.
KK > JJ +$108. All in preflop here against another bad player. Kings made a come-back during this session big time.
KK > AA +$100. This time notice we get dealt KK vs AA (like every session), but wait WE ACTUALLY HIT A KING. No remorse because he smooth called the $12 3 bet pre with AA despite only being 50BB deep. It's going all in anyways, feels good to suck out for once. I certainly never get the situation where I'm dealt AA over my opponent's KK deep-stacked so again no remorse, it was nice to have some justice.
JJ > 88 +$100. The two outs miss.
TT > KK +$100. Set mined to hell.
66> KJs +$100. Flopped set holds against top pair king, jack kicker?
AA > J9 +$90. Overpair holds against top nine, jack kicker. Go figure.
KK > JQo +$80. Overpair holds against top pair quee, jack kicker.
And that's really the idea. One of those incredibly rare online session where for a few hours EVERYTHING seemed to be going right for me. I'll enjoy it until next Monday, when it's back to being sucked out like usual. I'm glad I finished up the online part of the week week as scheduled and kept fighting. I really feel I'm improving weekly. If the live tables are slow tomorrow (Thursday night) I might even put in another online session Thursday night around 2a.m- 6a.m.
The biggest question mark I had going into playing full time would be my ONLINE progress. The last three weeks I'm doing enough to get by online, which is really exciting to me:
Week 1 (10/25- 10/27): +$749 in 27 hours
Week 2 (11/1- 11/3): -$50 in 25 hours
Week 3 (11/8- 11/10): +$66 in 24 hours
SN Bonus + Tournament Freeroll Cash: +$2,000
Even if I manage to play just break even during next week or two I'll still be up because I can begin clearing another $1,500 Supernova bonus. My goal is always to do everything I can to profit every session, but it obviously doesn't always work out that way. The bonuses are a great security net.
It's 6a.m my schedule is slightly off, but I feel great!
