Yin and Yang

Poker is a very funny game. Sometimes you make set after set, hit all your draws, and time your bluffs perfectly. Other times you just can’t make a hand, every bet you make gets raised, and you end up feeling like you suck at the game. Sometimes these streaks last weeks, but often it switches between sessions. Wednesdays was one of those days.

I had the yin and the yang with my first two sessions, breaking even. The 3rd session started at about 3am, and I think I’ll be changing my sleep schedule so I can play this time slot more often. The games from 2am to 5am are really good. A player with 3 buy ins in front of him, and position on me, decided he wanted to play every pot I did. He also thought it would be fun to bluff me every time I checked. I decided to ignore his positional advantage, and abused him the entire session. When it was all over I had won about 2.5 buy ins from him only going to 1 showdown.

I ended up winning $152 on the day in 2788 hands. That meant another $48 in bonus money. I’m pretty happy with the week so far. It’s nice to have a good week before I go back to MI for Christmas.
