Dhruv - 24 Oct

24/10/2011

Today was one of those days when you just feel you have wasted your time playing poker! After spending close to 5 hours, it was a day of crazy variance with no result as such. I went up 10 euros in the first session, then lost 6 of these in the second session, went up again to 10 in the third session, and finally back to square one at the end of the fourth session! No profit, no loss day! But then again, going by the beats I got today, I am glad to not book a loss! One such hand like this is:

Short ring: I am BB, with 7c 5c. UTG+1 calls, table folds to SB who calls, I check. Flop is a brilliant 6s 8d 9h. Nice straight on this rainbow flop! I fire a pot size bet, UTG+1 calls, SB folds. Turn is a 10d. I still got the straight with the 7, although my 5 is out of play. I figure at this stage its probably a split pot. I fire another pot size bet. UTG+1 calls. River is Qc. No flush possibility now. I feel I still might be ahead, but a better straight is possible, and I would like to avoid a re-raise which I am forced to call. Plus I dont trust this villain. He's been extremely lucky during this session. So I check. UTG+1 bets 3/4 of the pot. I call. He shows KJ for the nut straight! I can never understand such play. Calling with air on the flop, calling with a gut shot draw on the turn, and then hitting on the river! Reminds me of a hand where Mike Mizrachi hit a similar straight with 75o! What made it more fun was that it was against Phil Hellmuth's A4o which hit 2 pair on the flop! You can watch that hand here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpnVU2CeUac

And of course, I am just glad I am not booking a loss today!

All in all it was good fun playing these last 3 days. Not as profitable as I would have liked, but profitable all the same! I collated my overall stats for the 3 days and this is what I got:

Total hands played: 1665
Hands per hour: 91.65
Amount won: 14.05 euros or 351 bb
BB/100: 10.55
BB/Hour: 9.67
Rake Generated: 13.92 (this is useful for VIP statuses and rakeback)
