Yet Another "Best Session Ever"!!!

Posted by icemonkey9 on Jul 27, 2008 in General | 4 comments

I never get to play poker online during the weekends. I'm usually busy with family related activities so tonight is a rare treat as the wife is out with her girlfriends for the night. I had a feeling the horrible players would be out in force. Fortunately, taking their money is a very fun hobby of mine.

Site: PokerStars, 25nl, 5 Tables
Duration: 55 minutes
Hands: 265
End Result: ** + $69.40 **

That ~$70 profit figure is a new all time session high for me. I've also broken through the +$300 barrier for the month. Just unreal ... I decided not to move to 50nl until I had 25 buy ins ... man I might be there a lot sooner than I thought, but I am just having too much fun at 25nl to move just yet So, lets look at some of the bizarre stack-taking hands I enjoyed.

AA Beats an Dude With Crazy Stats

I had never seen someone with a line like this - 94/11/3 (WOW!). Hand pretty much played itself. I was not happy about the Qh at the turn, that was a HORRIBLE card for me, but I already knew I was stacking regardless. And I did. And I won. Yay.

I Love Sets. The Set-Mining Strategy was the Best Thing I've Ever Added to my Game. Yes I Know This is a Very Long Title.

Again I am just trying to think what some of the best players I know would do. Usually I might just flat call that flop (huge mistake) or do a 3x raise, but with the money in the pot I decided to make it 4x. It really committed the opponent who makes a decent play there at the flop, stacking with an overpair and OESD. However I was still a big favorite when he put his chips in (70-30 for me) and it holds up.

Very Fortunate Flop for me on Loose Player

I don't usually make this raise with AJo, it's a hand I don't like playing too much because I tend to overplay it. The flop was VERY favorable for me actually. We both flopped two pair and both of us stacking off here is very standard play.
