Christ what a swingy session I just had, was up and down more than a whore's drawers.
First 200 hands were torture, I was utterly cold decked. At one point I was running something ridiculous like 9/6, purely because I didn't have a single hand to play. This also wasn't helped by me making UTTER douche plays such as this one against this 52/28:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
CO ($11.20)
Button ($15.15)
SB ($6.25)
Hero (BB) ($10.15)
UTG ($11.65)
MP ($12.15)
Preflop: Hero is BB with J , K
UTG calls $0.10, 4 folds, Hero checks
Flop: ($0.25) 7, 2, 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.30, Hero raises to $0.90, UTG calls $0.60
Turn: ($2.05) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks
River: ($2.05) A (2 players)
Hero bets $1.30, UTG calls $1.30
Total pot: $4.65 | Rake: $0.20
Results:
Hero had J, K (one pair, sevens).
UTG had Q, Q (two pair, Queens and sevens).
Outcome: UTG won $4.45
This kind of shit makes me hate myself and tilt horribly. You know there's something wrong when you're yelling at yourself BEFORE he's even called your shitty river bluff.
Things went from bad to worse with this little beauty. I was sitting on a table with Keith_MM and we had the 52/6 table money sitting between us. I was sure I'd landed the fish but apparently not:

Meh.
Thankfully I then got on a nice heater and despite at one stage being down $15 or so managed close the session up a couple of dollars. I won't bore you with the big winning hands as most of them basically involve flopping sets and boats and getting paid, std. That said I'm starting to realize how useful it can be when sitting next to someone with stats like the guy in the second hand to play quite passively pre just to get into hands with him and then to value town them with any piece of the board. Hours of fun.
BR - $344.20 and I'm definitely earning more VPPs on the new tables. Maybe Silverstar might be on after all.....
