6 tabling 6 max! [1,277 Hands / +$37.85]

So work didn't go as planned and I ended up having 3 spare hours today. Basically I played before work, during lunch, and just now since I had nothing to do ... I am trying to be conscious of not letting poker interfere with work time.

I tried out adding 1 more table and didn't notice anything so I added 1 more to play 6 tables of 6max and actually really enjoyed it. This was helping me get in more hands, win more, and also get in more FPPs and VPPs since I am behind in retaining my SilverStar status.

Today's stats ...

Hands: 1,277
Money Won: $37.85
bb/100: 5.93

Not bad ... especially considering I felt like I was getting cold cards today and hit a couple of coolers. I finally felt "back in the groove" and was making good 3bet spots and making great float plays against some TAGs. I also watched the first in a series by Ed Miller on "Simple Aggression" which had some good points about stealing from the BTN and CO, in addition on when to double and triple barrel (sadly I didn't put the triple barrel correctly into practice today). To solidify my claim of cold cards, I only saw AA 0.23% of the time (should be double that) and I did not see AKs at all! It also seemed like a good chuck of the time I hit a set (actually this happened 3 out of 10 times) the board was totally monotone (3 to a suit).

Anyways, look at the hands, I looked good and felt good. Let's take a look at a few hands ...

Worst Hand Played of the Day

Ok the villain here is a 60/3/3 fish. We're talking this dude is just in the game here solely because he hit a few lucky rivers. I saw him stack off with mid pair ... and win when he hit trips. So I give him ZERO credit basically for any hand. That pride totally worked against me, but his J9o call OOP was ridiculous but consistant with his style of play. My 3x bet actually was on purpose, I have adjusted that "steal on the btn" play to a slightly smaller bet based on Ed Miller's video. Anyways he flats and I hit TPTK. He donks into me (troubling sign) and I raise him (not enough ... mistake!). He min-raises me and I just flat because at this point I am really clueless. He then bets a weird 45%ish bet on the brick turn ... so I decide to get it in now ... and find out he flopped the nuts.

KK Hand Loses Itself

Here's a hand I think that plays itself. Kudos to the villain here for playing his hand correctly.

AQ Wins ... Apparently Picked off a Bluff

Absolutely the second after I hit the "call" button here I admonished myself for not raising at this spot for a squeeze play. It was a good place to do it, but I flat it and have a ton of outs at the flop with 2 overs and a nut flush draw. I flat the flop bet ... not sure if raising was right there but obviously it's not time to give up. I hit the flush (not the nut flush) and decide to let this fish (84/3/3) to hang himself since raising here accomplishes nothing. At the river I shove, an obvious move, and he lets it go ... maybe think he had something like KJ here and knew he was beat to save his last $6.

Did I say cooler? Whoops, I meant HEATER.

OKAY okay ... I lucked out here. Gross board ... but who gives it up eh? No way I put him on the damn flopped straight. He's a 55/0/.6 after only 11 hands, so no real history. I lucked out ... only had like 10 outs there.
