Challenge, Day 3

Sunshine follows rain! I had a great session today, playing the full 3.5 hours over one stretch in the afternoon. Here are my stats:

Played hours: 3.5 (max allowed)
Stacks: +9.78 (€8804.67)
Total stacks for the challenge: +7.69 (€6916.55)

It feels great to get back on track after the crappy day I had yesterday. There were some nice fish at the tables today which always helps the bottom line. Also, I got the best of the regulars today. That's not all that importat, though, what's important is not to be losing to the regulars. Fish are the main moneymaker in any game, which is why game and table selection are so crucial.

I finally found a way to retrieve some HHs, here are some ones from today. You may notice that there are not many of me losing. For some reason, they are not displaying properly (no kidding!). I do lose, though, I just don't have much evidence :)

Sucking out is fun, here I hit my 2-outer after getting it all-in on the flop on a drawy board.

Battle of the blinds, once again I hit gin on the turn. Pretty unlucky for him, but I did get most of the money in when I was ahead.

I'm not too thrilled with my play in this hand. I 4bet OOP pretty deep against a very aggressive opponent who I tangle with on a daily basis. I flop a gutshot in addition to my overpair, but I think I am creamed more often that not in this spot. I make this call sometimes.

Here my opponent basically hands me his stack. This is one of many reasons why playing K8o OOP is not a great idea.

This is a call that I don't make against a lot of opponents, but I know this player to be weak and I knew that he would be gunning for me as I was constantly throwing 3 and 4bets in his face. I won the hand as a slight favorite (52% to 48%)

And finally, here is a hand where I took my opponent to valuetown and back.

Unfortunately, things did not go very well for Heiko today. I say that sincerely, too. I really want him to make a lot of money in this challenge as well, just not as much as me obv :) Looking forward to tomorrow...

Song of the day: Tubthumping - Chumbawamba
