Todays Session

Only real hand I won was a big suckout;

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1423539
- Villain played it pretty good, I guess I should have bet more on flop, if I make it say 8-10 on flop i think turn shove is fine, but by only betting 6 on flop I think I should only be calling this turn bet.

Nice to suckout tho.

BR is near enough back to where it was before my nasty downswing; should have some nice bonus coming in today and also my Rake Back this month should be a decent amount.

Basically I want to win about 4 more buy-ins before I move upto 100NL. With rake back and bonus along with those 4 buy ins, my BR will be 2700-2800, which I think is enough for Betfair. On Full Tilt I may wait until 3000-3200 but provided I don't have a horrible first couple of sessions at 100nl I should be ok.

I'm super eager to get to 100NL as soon as possible so I can have a better chance of completing my 1 month move up (to 200NL); im reckoning ill need to play about 40k hands to make the move (provided no horrible downswings), the Betfair software makes multi tabling hard, but I should be able to manage 1300 hands a day 4-5 tabling.

I'll be posting my 50NL stats (for Betfair) as soon as I move upto 100NL, hopefully in the next 5 days.

UPDATE

Just played another session, ran pretty good, got into a super tough spot with AA, still not sure bout it;

- Either way I think its pretty close, straight and flush draws missed, so I guess I could have check called, but it just didn't seem like he was on a draw. He's not calling my flop bet with (just) a gutshot, its unlikely he picked up flush draw on turn and just called; I decided to block bet/fold and even though he min raised, I stuck to my plan and pitched it. I think this is something I'm definitely thinking more about, its irrelevant how much money I have invested if I'm 99% sure I'm beat (unless I'm getting 99:1 on a call). I just couldn't think of a hand he plays this way that I beat; the only hand I beat is KK/QQ but I can never see a 50nl player smooth calling pf then calling down flop and turn.

- I was so close to folding this pf, I was committed to the hand when I called pf, he didn't have enough chips to set mine against, I had to jam on this flop after investing $7 pf.

- This hand just played itself.
