I started my session one tabling. Picking up good starting hands and making others on the board,for my first hour, I was up from my initial 10 to around 18 in no time. Trying to reach my target of 20, I decided to stay on the same table. However my luck turns dry. Being card dead and unable to make hand I was loosing steadily. I find one complete donk/fish on the table who called with just about anything from A or K high to bottom pair. I had already seen the futility of bluffing such calling stations and find myself laying down some big hands like pocket kings and pocket tens (both over-pairs) on this table. Being certain I had made the correct decisions so far, I knew I needed a lot more patience to reach my target.

Finally I find myself in a perfect situation exactly what I had hoped for, Having top pair(AJ) on a dry board(Jx5) with the best kicker against the calling station/donk. I knew it was a perfect opportunity to get paid. However he shows a set of 5s this time out of the blue. I could have made that laydown if I had gone with my gut feeling; instead of the mathematical and strategical option of getting all my chips on the turn against a player who would pay off even with 2nd or 3rd pair and, possibly even a gutshot. However that was it for that hand. I am down to 6 since the guy was playing a medium stack. I should not have been surprised by the the huge difference in play at 5/10 cents   (6 handed) at godfather and other sites but right now I was in need of some advice and a strategic makeover. Well, I ended up loosing 24 dollars my first day in a 2 and a half hour session. I could not take it any longer and decided to return the next day with a fresh mindset. Hope it goes better and I am able to adapt sooner to these new breed of players.
