After the debacle on Friday I was able to settle down and turn in a few decent sessions. I made ~2 BI each on Sunday night and Monday afternoon, broke even on Tuesday afternoon, won big (6.5 BI over 2.5k hands) on Wednesday evening, and won a bit more than 1 BI in 1-hour session on Thursday.

Obviously I tightened up my play, especially vs regulars, and it didn't take me long to realize that straightforward poker at this level = $$$. Why I can't keep this point in mind all the time, I really don't know.

Sunday evening hands:

KK, overpair all the way to the river. I played this feebly, even though I induced and picked off a huge river bluff.

88, flopped set, against opponent who stuck around with 66, picked up a straight draw on the turn and went broke.

Aces-up against TP on a somewhat gross board. It held up. Good for me.

A preflop limp-reraise with JJ worked out fine. A shortie went broke with his 99 on the 7-high board.

QQ. Wierd line by opponent. Not well played by me either, but at the end I picked off another sizable bluff.

Early on, a questionable preflop call led to a turned flush with suited crap. Opponent turn a worthless TP plus the dangerous Ac, but decided to call a big bet after not improving on the river. I didn't mind that at all.

Bluffing flop with possibly no outs, but my opponent believed I turn the flush -- at least that's what I thought.

77 was dynamite for me on this day. I barely had odds to set hunt after I was reraised preflop, but I got my set and doubled up.

Another set with 77. I think this was well played.

AsAc, lost race. Ironlaw likes to play his draw aggressively. As long as I saw the flop I rued that I made a relatively weak preflop reraise.

AK vs AQ preflop all-in

Playing TP for stacks. If opponent had a set he could have easily raised my feeble bet on that drawy flop. So I stuck with my read and prevailed.

More hands later......
