Any Given Sunday

Well, I was able to get in a little time after all. Between some great football games, I played 1171 hands. It's a good thing the $50NL players are so bad, as I've had more than my fair share of outdraws. I'd like to think I handle outdraws a little differently than most. I know the outdraws will come, so when they do I'm happy. If outdraws didn't exist I wouldn't be able to make a living at this game. If you can't figure out a way to cope with outdraws they will eventually drive you crazy. Realizing they are a necessary part of the game is a great way to do that.

In the 1171 hands I played I was able to make $65 while clearing $19 in bonus money. UB is still running a promotion where you turn your points earned each week into cash, so I will have to make sure to get in a decent number of hours to get that extra bonus. There were no especially interesting hands today, although I did use a secret technique I discovered to put a guy on massive tilt. He had 4+ buy ins sitting in front of him, which disappeared in a matter of minutes. It's too bad I wasn't able to get more than $30 off of him, but that's often the case when someone has a clearance sale on their stack. You gotta be in the right place AND at the right time to get it.

Tomorrow I plan on getting a minimum of 3k hands in, but would like to do even more. Playing that many hands I should have some interesting situations to share.
