December 6th, 2009

Saturday, I visited with family, and by time all was said and done, I had no energy to play poker.  So, I didn't.
Today, I played about 3 hours total and got in 614 hands.
+$127.95 --- 41.68 BB/100

I didn't really hit my hand volume, but I'm fine with that if I'm going to make 5 buy-ins in a short session.  I ran pretty much right at $EV (123.66), so it's not like I won just because I ran hot.

I have really been getting into sitting HU at a FR table and playing the person heads-up for as long as possible, or until someone else shows up.  When another player shows up, I don't leave if they are a fish, but playing short handed with a fish and a reg seems really +EV.  Most regs just don't adjust well to short handed situations.

Also, it's really funny how fish seem to be magnets for other fish, and soon the table is full of me, another reg or two and 6-7 fish.  Obviously, this is a good situation if at or above EV.

this was a fun hand from the session:
