Very good session tonight winning $111.20 in 258 hands...Bankroll up to $4728.99.
Again I should get another $120-$140 bonus from Fulltilt tomorrow for the Ironman bonus from last year. This should put me near $4850 total and I hope to start adding some 100nl tables when I play each night. If they run as well as 50nl...I should be playing all 100nl by the middle of next week.
~$850 winner in 9399 hands is very good!!! 9.04bb/100 hands. Best run I've had since July when I ran almost 20bb/100...which included a sick run of PLO at 30bb/100. I was playing mostly 25nl and 50nl and had a tourney cash of $1100 on Pokerstars. Netted about $2400 for the month, by far the best month I've had all year. I pushed my FullTilt bankroll from ~$1900 to over $3000 in one month...took me forever clear the next $1000 to $4000.
Had one very lucky hand tonight against a player that should have never been in the hand with me...

This player had not bet or raised much..showing very little aggression...his flop check/raise to me was a red flag. That bet tells me he is prepared to play a big pot. 1010 not so good for all the money.

Another pocket 10's hand situation. I have played 1000+ hands with ArmandoGB...in a heads up situation I would 4 bet him with no problems. He is a good, very aggressive player and likes to squeeze when players flat PF raises in late position. My problem was the last position caller whose statitics were very tight and close to the pocket. My only play was to raise and hopefully shove him out, or fold. I took the conservative route again with 1010. As it turns out, I was behind, but I would hope that a good player could fold JJ to a 4 bet PF. At this level, you just don't know.

Ran poor...played ok
I was really looking forward to playing yesterday, as it was going to be the first time I could sit and put in a long session without interruptions. My desire to play was deflated as I recorded a -$87.45 losing session over 926 hands. My play was fairly good other than a couple of bad calls on the river. Mostly I just ran poor...as you can see with the following hand.

So my bankroll has fallen back to $4544.64
I will probably receive $130-$140 for my Fulltilt Ironman bonus and my rakeback should net me another $130-$140 next month.
The day wasn't an entire loss as I played in a Satellite tournament on UB for the $129 bounty tournament. It was a $5 rebuy and spent $20.50 in fees through the add-on. I didn't make much in the rebuy period, but I wasn't overly concerned as I still had 10k in chips with blinds at 75/150. Plenty of time to catch up.
35 players played the event and as we went to 2 tables I still had about 9.5k in chips. I received KK in middle position and sort of slow played them. I made a light raise (blinds 200/400) to 1050 and get reraised from SB to 2850. I called and flopped a set of Kings and check/called him all in. That doubled me to about 20k and the chip lead. On the next orbit I get JJ UTG and it folds all the way around to the BB who pushes 10k all in and I call against AQo. JJ holds up and I have a commading chip lead. I just raised alot preflop and folded to reraises and ended up with about 100k in chips when we made it to the final four winners. I received the $129 entry and withdrew from the tournament so I can use the tournament $ as I please in the future.

(PLO)dding along....
Another positive session winning +$62.55 in 110 minutes and 508 hands. Bankroll has increased to $4632.09.
I play (PLO) Pot-Limit Omaha on occasions just to play something other than Hold 'em. I play a level down (25plo) from where I play Hold 'em because I know I'm not as good at this game. Also because of the variance the game can have. Omaha is played with 4 cards in your hand instead of the two used in Hold 'em.
The biggest difference is that 2 cards and only 2 cards must be used from your hand. Having more options of cards to play makes it easier to make quality hands in this game. It is not unheard of to have a different player in the lead after each street or round of bets. It is a game where big draws should be played aggressively, thus resulting in many big pots and nothing being a lock until the river hits the board.
Again, just like in hold 'em, the key is to stay aggressive, but also for me, try to control the size of the pot. In PLO, the most that can ever be bet is the size of the pot. So keeping bets smaller, usually 40%-60%, keeps the pot at a manageable level. Most of my preflop raises are smaller as well, usually 1/2 pot-size.
Another very important part of the game is to fold quality hands when it's fairly obvious you are beat. Generally, the river bets are going to be fairly large in relation to stack sizes, so being able to save that amount is huge in being a profitable player.

Running a bluff...
Bluffs are very difficult to run when playing low limits such as 50nl. Most of the time it is (+EV) just to stay away from them. To run a good bluff, the other player must be thinking at least on the second level of what cards you may be holding...not just first level thinking where they only are concerned about their own cards. No matter what bet you make or what is playing on the board, they call you down.

Played 211 hands and won $49.80 in 32 minutes....Bankroll $4569.54
I have played 6647 hands so far this month, when I normally play 10-12k. I might make it to 8k this month. +569.54 = 8.56bb/100 hands including my bonuses.
Just for some perspective...I will start playing some 100nl within my next $200 of profit and make total move to 100nl when my bankroll reaches $5k. If I play 10k hands per month at 100nl and maintain the 8.56bb/100(which would be difficult, at least in the beginning) I make (10000/100*8.56*2)=$1712 of profit.
Optimistic thinking, but staying in your bankroll and proving yourself to be profitable at each level of play is important to building a good bankroll. Again, my goal is to reach 1000nl, but I need other goals along the way to keep me interested and help me feel as though I am improving. My year end goal is to have my FullTilt account up to $16k by year end.
I like to look at this number when I lose some of my interest at the low stakes. 10000 hands/month @ 1000nl = 10000/100*8.56*20=$17120 profit per month. 10000 hands = about 30 hours of play. Even if was to play 200nl for 30,000 hands/month I make...30000/100*8.56*4=$10,272 per month. Most online pros play 50k-100k hands a month and may be multi-tabling up to 12 tables. To get to 50k hands at 12 tables would = 48 hours of play...12 hours a week.

Nice heater!!!
I had my first heater of the month, but I have not played near as many hands as i would in a normal month of cash game play. I won $162.10 for 100 minutes of play. The session started slow, with me losing $30 in the first 100 hands, but the tide changed quickly.

Short session...
I watched UK upset Tennessee last night so I didn't get much play last night. But in the 35 minutes of play I did make a profit and with more play I think it would have been a very good night. I found one aggressive player, that I must made an impression on from my play in an early hand. I used that early play to set up a big hand later on in the session. This is why you never want to get caught up in your short term results...It is difficult to execute, but poker is a game for the long-haul. I may have lost the early battle, but set myself up to win the war later on.
My first hand with this particular player...

birdiemachine calls $1.25 ... 2 ways to play...reraise to $6 or call...I elect to call and evalute after flop.
*** FLOP *** [4h Tc Th] ....good flop for Lucy as this flop likely doesnt help my hand. But I know it probably didn't help Lucy either. 3 ways to play...lead for $3,check raise pot or fold. I decide to try to win with check raise and use it to set up future play. Next time I make trips on a flop like this, I will play the same way and hopefully get paid off. If I do lose, I look like a player trying to steal pots.

LucyLaPlant raises to $17.50 ...minimum re-raise is usually extremely strong or weak. I give up and decide a future battle is where I will win. Losing 10bb is a small loss, you need to do this on occasion to get paid on your big hands.
